I am so lucky to have friends who, as someone in this household is fond of saying, have such "mad skillez." Laurie just went to the beach and wrote up a report for GSNW. Countless others have shared recipes that have become staples on our table. And my friend Michel compiles a yearly list of the outdoor concerts that are scheduled on almost every summer evening all over the city.
Here's a sample of the concerts happening through July, and all are listed on the calendar at left. Or you can download the whole list here.

We'll definitely have to plan something, then! These concerts are really fun and so easy. Just pull up a piece of lawn and enjoy!
