Exciting Events Around New York: July 2025
4th of July
Spend your holiday with us! We’re open 11 am to 8 pm on Friday, July 4. We’re collecting brief birthday messages to America: Visit our first-floor Smith Gallery and write a note telling us what your hopes are for the United States and our democracy. And don’t forget: We’ll be hosting a half-day of family activities for all ages, including old-fashioned ice-cream making and sing-alongs. Kids ages 17 and under get free admission!

We’re celebrating the summer with live music during pay-as-you wish admission hours on Fridays, July 11, 18, and 25! Swing by our restaurant Clara for a special menu of select wine, beer, and cocktails; and hear old-school jazz starting at 5:30 pm from Michael Hashim’s trio.
