![]() THURSDAY SALVAGEFrying Pan Reopens
The dive bar on a salvaged ship gets salvaged one more time, with the same mussels, burgers and
international-waters-style hedonism that brought you there in the first place, now under a 1am curfew. It
was that or a Viking funeral…
![]() FRIDAY CONEY6th Annual Softball Challenge USA
This charity softball game has a home-run derby, auctions and giveaways as sideshows, with celebrity players
drawn from the Giants, Jets, Nets and…Knicks. Feel free to start up a "Fire Isiah" chant for old
times' sake.

"registered traveler." As for your toothpaste…it's still up for grabs.

summer stock in his Soho, Flatiron and online venues, in case the weather has you looking for
rainbows…
![]() SUNDAY BALLIN'Brooklyn Petanque Tournament

The original Office star finishes up his stateside stand-up run with three Midtown shows

precise impression of Steve Carell.
