NYC Weekend Events: What's On April 29-30
It is the last weekend of April and there is lots to do around New York City in the coming days. Here are some options.
NEW YORK, NY — Rain may roll in this weekend, but also, potentially, the good times.
And New York City won't let a little precipitation foil a good celebration, which this weekend will include a Bono performance on the Upper West Side and a Flamenco festival in Queens.
But before you head out, make sure the MTA isn't messing with your commute. Don't try and check Twitter...that's not a thing anymore.
