OKAY theater/new york people halp
I’m going to be in NYC for a few days in April and I need suggestions as far as what to do! :D
I’m already planning to go see Wicked. I have one other completely free day/night, a Saturday, so I’m open to any show recommendations, suggestions, etc., especially things that maybe aren’t so big or commercialized, harder to track down, or anything really, I like to have personal rec’s from people :D
obligatory question mark?

As part of the Hurricane Sandy relief effort, freelancers are eligible for the Disaster Unemployment Assistance Program.
So what does this mean? Eligible freelancers may be compensated up to $405/week through New York State’s Department of Labor.
Here is the quick summary of who may be eligible:
- You must show lost income from the storm
- You must live/work in the five boroughs or Nassau, Rockland, Suffolk, or Westchester County.
The only way to apply for this program is to call the NYS Department of Labor hotline at 888.209.8124. The deadline to apply is Monday, December 3rd 2012. The NYC Office of the Public Advocate, lead by Bill de Blasio, has created a helpful PDF resource – in this document you can find a summary of eligibility, required documentation, and other important information.

Life’s a Beach: Scenes of Destruction & Recovery
Over the next week, photographer Ben Lowy will be documenting the destruction — and recovery efforts — in the wake of Hurricane Sandy in and around New York City, using nothing but an iPhone camera. Lowy spent yesterday at Midland Beach on Staten Island — New York City’s “forgotten” borough— where hundreds of residents remain homeless. Today he’s headed to New Jersey.
Stay tuned for more from Lowy from Tumblr Storyboard, or follow our instagram feed, where he’ll be guest posting throughout the week.
