Hi ,
Did You Know?
At the Tomorrowland festival at Belgium, under the stage lies a secret world. The organizers have dug a tunnel running all the way to the tech booth over 100 feet away. The tunnel houses wires, responsible for the functioning of the Main Stage. This shows the effort put in by organizers to provide event-goers with a flawless experience!

Hello New York,
Get loose and let go with our Wavy Weekend Guide! We've got a collection of concerts, art exhibits and festivals happening all over the city just for you. 👽🎶
Check out the photo series exploring everyday New York titled "From Sun to Sun", by Elle Perez. 📷🌆
Forget fancy 5-star hotels and try a down to earth hostel. A new bill is hoping to bring back the affordable tourism option from the dead. 💵🏢
One hundred forty thousand signatures are pushing to rename a stretch of Fifth Avenue after Barack H. Obama and the petition is still growing. 📜🔥

Wavy Weekend Guide
Relieve your stress and make memories all weekend with this diverse event guide. Our Wavy Weekend Guide seeks to give you options from Friday through to Sunday. Try watching a movie in the grass on a lawn chair, cop your spot at a picnic while encapsulated by art or dance your way through a festival. 
There are live musical performances from talented musicians and artist of all genres to watch. If you've got an appetite, that's covered too. Just check out one of our dining experiences, each magical in their own way. Visit the sites for more info and ticket purchases. 
President Barack H. Obama Avenue
One hundred forty thousand signees have requested that the street in front of Trump Tower be renamed Barack H. Obama Avenue. The petition launched on MoveOn had 140,000 signatures by Wednesday, although it only asked for a maximum of 125,000. Now, it's new is set at 150,000 and once reached, will prompt it's delivery to Mayor de Blasio. 
The part of Fifth Avenue between 56th and 57th streets will be labeled "President Barack H. Obama Avenue," if all is approved. The linguistic structure behind street names, landmarks, and beacons in New York City have always been signs of our solidarity and heart as a city. This change would mark yet another social shift in politics during a time marked with divide and concern for equality.
Cheap NYC Stays Return
A vacation doesn't have to be dingy, risky, or illegal to be affordable in NYC. Thanks to a new bill that would validate hostels as a classification in New York, the cheap travel option could make a return making stays for less a possibility. Due to the financially competitive price of tourism in the Big Apple, staying here has become an expensive ordeal attainable only to those privileged enough to afford it. 
The deterring pricing makes visits possible for a smaller percentage of people, which is what council people Mark Gjonaj and Margaret Chin hope to change. After the decade long battle, if approved, this bill could usher in a modest form of tourism once again. 
New York Life Photographed
Artist Elle Perez's art series, "From Sun to Sun," has launched across the boroughs. The Public Art Fund series is a photo exploration housed in NYC bus shelters. As if they were small galleries or art museums independent of the space around them, each stop stands wrapped in a photo. 
The 16 different images explore the seemingly mundane moments in the city. NYC communities are the focus of Perez's candid photography. The work provides an intimate look at everyday life. 13 neighborhoods such as East Harlem, Parchester, and Bed-Stuy are participating in the exhibition.

Hello New York,
We love the edge of classic NYC living, excluding the strange architecture of cramped apartments. Is a bathtub in the living room crossing the line? 🛀📺
What should the city do with the desolate lots that linger throughout? Well, AIANY wants to turn them into affordable housing! 💰🏡
Party-goers can’t always make it outdoors to mingle, especially during the summer heat. Let’s check out the best indoor venues that give serious outdoor vibes instead. 🍹🌞
Classic sitcoms set in the city always feature a personality-packed cast of roommates and that’s a reality for many New Yorkers. How much does it actually save you if you live with mates? 💵🏙

Netflix and Bathe
There is a mistakable sparkle in New York architecture. The real estate echoes of the city's rich history in unexpected ways like a tuberculosis window or a living room with a tub. Why invest anywhere else and lose the chance to soak in bubbles and converse with guests at the same time? 
Why enjoy your bedroom if it doesn't have a revealing window that looks straight into the kitchen? We don't know. Apparently, these features are worth every penny of the $1,900 rent it requests.
New Housing Plans
If there were only a handful of unused lots in NYC, they might go unnoticed but there are an astonishing 10,000. This space could prove life-changing for many looking for affordable living. Only If Architecture used the exhibition to display winning propositions to alleviate the housing issues in NYC. 
Their models featured four-story buildings with accessible units and tiny apartments. The Greenwich gallery exhibition is showcasing the finalists from their open call for their Big Deals for Small Lots design competition. The designs combine compact function, aesthetic and costs in order to pitch possible housing for the future.
Fun Without the Sun
The weather hasn't been dependable lately with stretches of heatwave temperatures scorching sidewalks followed by bouts of rain. The safest way to enjoy the dwindling summertime is with indoor accommodations. That's why it's useful to be aware of the best indoor venues serving up yummy food, drinks, and entertainment in safe, cool, comfortable surroundings. 
These venues combine fun designs with fresh menus to deliver the right vibe each time you visit. Expect to get competitive with games, chow down on grilled BBQ, sip on fresh and fruity cocktails and do it all in a temperature-controlled airy environment. 
Money in the Bank
So you want to live solo and enjoy the perks of absolute seclusion at home? Well, be prepared to dish out an excess of $12,600 every year. It may not seem like too much to pay for that level of peace but for some, that's an entire vacation budget. 
New York City ranks as the second most expensive city in the U.S for solitary renters. Committing to a two-bedroom apartment with a roommate can save you almost $1,000 every month as opposed to renting alone. If only we could charge our pets for their stay.
