Governors Island Closes

FreeNYC Event Flyer

Date: Sunday, September 2nd
Time: 10:00am - 5:00pm
Location: Governors Island
Cost: Free

It's your last chance to check out historic Governors Island for free. Free ferries leave every hour and are located right next to the Staten Island Ferry terminal. I went last weekend and it is like no other place in New York, the juxtaposition of colonial homes, lush meadows then Manhattan's skyline jutting out in between the trees is amazing! Bring a picnic, a blanket, a frisbee and prepare to relax. Don't miss your chance too see the breath taking views. Check their website for history and overview.

Wet Nurse is a waterside disco version of Hello, Nurse!, a collab party between New Release and Re:Up with Egyptian Lover in February and Luke Vibert back in November of last year. This time its Norwegean neo-disco don Prins Thomas who will lay down the perfect beats for a sunny, Sunday afternoon. Plus, there's organic grilling happening all day, spiked punch, kiddie pools and canoe rides to keep it fun all day long. Joining in the music duties are My Cousin Roy, the head of Wurst Edits, and Justin Carter and DJ Probus, the Hello, Nurse! residents. The music, no doubt, will be good, but people the player below for some audio convincing. Get those advance tix else its a worthy $10 (flying in DJs is expensive). 21+

Upstairs with Angola is Busy P, the man behind Ed Bangers Records, the Gallic phenomenon that’s got big room bangers larger than ever with releases from Justice, Mr. Oizo, and even Mr. P himself.
