Museum of Natural History - dance Friday, skate Saturday
As Showtrotta pointed out, "Nick Catchdubs is deejaying the Fader's monthly museum get down, One Step Beyond, at the American Museum of Natural History along with Michna (Ghostly)." That happens tonight, Friday November 21st, from 9pm-1am (21+).
Ten hours later, Saturday November 22nd, at the same museum:
The American Museum of Natural History will open an outdoor skating rink for the first time in its 140-year history. The Museum's new Polar Rink, made from synthetic ice, is located on the Arthur Ross Terrace, with magnificent views of the glowing Rose Center for Earth and Space and the surrounding Theodore Roosevelt Park. Skaters will glide around a 17-foot-tall polar bear made of openwork stainless steel festooned with pine boughs and twinkling lights. Engaging facts about polar bears and the Earth's polar regions, as well as "green" tips and suggestions, will surround the rink, extending the Museum experience beyond its halls.An ice skating rink is also opening at South Street Seaport (and that one will have Friday night shows).
I have one pair of tickets to giveaway to Friday's One Step Beyond party. How to win them, and the flyer, below...
For November, enjoy complimentary screenings of the Space Show Cosmic Collisions--the breathtaking new Space Show that launches visitors on a thrilling trip through space and time to explore hypersonic impacts that drive the dynamic and continuing evolution of the universe.

December stays dark, but OSB is back on January 16 with Tim Sweeney and Bianca Grimshaw.'

Giant polar bears? Ice skating on rooftops?
Smoke shmeh, and I'll see you there.
Maybe I'll join the polar bear club this winter.

Don't waste your time going to the rink - you can't even skate around the synthetic ice - it's plastic. I tried skating there and barely make it around the rink once - and I've skated several times in my life. Save your money and go somewhere else instead!

^^^ were your skates sharpened? the rink is really great actually.

Skating on synthetic ice is really great, just push a little harder and you will become a better skater, I enjoy it just as much as real ice.
