Tin Building, 96 South St, New York, NY, 10038

The globe-trotting inflatable art exhibition <a href="https://balloonmuseum.world" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Balloon Museum</a> unveils its first permanent U.S. flagship at the historic Tin Building in Seaport. The inaugural exhibition, DAYDREAM, AIR BECOMES ART, invites guests to escape into a dreamlike reality with a collection of works that invite you to touch, explore and be one with the art.

At the heart of the exhibition is renowned performance artist Marina Abramović’s Snowy/Windy/Spring on Planet Z, an otherworldly installation and her first-ever work comprised of air, that places visitors inside an extraterrestrial meadow of inflatable grass and swirling artificial snow. Other standout works include Martin Creed’s Half the Air in a Given Space, a transparent room filled with hundreds of blue balloons that “contain” half of the enclosed air, Alex Schweder’s Her Joy, a rising and deflating mirror ball, Karina Smigla-Bobinski’s ADA, a helium-filled, charcoal-spiked sphere that floats freely through the room, and Hyperstudio’s Invisible Ballet, an unstable choreography of airborne spherical chrome balloons.
Enriching for art enthusiasts and thrilling for kids, Balloon Museum welcomes all ages and promises an extraordinary experience for the whole family.

Instead of feeling hopeless, will you dare learn the way out?An in-person Talk +&nbsp;Q&amp;A with revolutionary leader Sunsara Taylor
250 years ago the Declaration of Independence declared “all men are created equal.”Yet the whole history of this country proves that there can not be equality for all under this system.Today, the Fascist Trump Regime unleashes genocidal white supremacy, terror against immigrants, and hatred against women and trans people. Trump shreds rights and imposes an even more brutal, terroristic form of rule.Yet it is possible to meet people's needs everywhere without savage inequalities and exploitation. It is possible to move beyond war and care for the Earth.<h3>THE SCIENTIFIC TRUTH:&nbsp;</h3><h3>All these horrors flow from THE SYSTEM OF CAPITALISM-IMPERIALISM.&nbsp;</h3><h3>This system cannot be reformed.&nbsp;</h3><h3>It must be overthrown through&nbsp;</h3><h3>a REAL REVOLUTION.</h3>Relying on the Democratic Party is a loser. They are part of the problem! Electing “progressives” within this same system is meaningless.Humanity needs REVOLUTION and REAL SOCIALISM – a radically different economic and political system, and a transition to a communist world free of all exploitation and oppression.You've been told to stay away from COMMUNISM.NO! Past revolutions brought liberating transformations to hundreds of millions. Not surprisingly, these first revolutions were also marked by shortcomings and errors.Through decades of work and struggle, Bob Avakian (BA) has scientifically sifted through this rich experience, advanced beyond it, and brought this together with advances in other fields to forge the new communism, a whole new framework for the emancipation of humanity. BA has written the <a target="_blank" href="https://lafqp7bab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0015LYRKfy5t9kZ4M_tB053qV9rSVLwqBQztHI2q9CMc1MnoiAX7fxEmWJeLr1mHCZ2p4iT2tPz2pE1LmpRCRXBjbtdmSPfqLKKgWZwvIeGHUFJLE91vdZ0s9FwbZxGRgAIe52HH06qEqLScAyT5YeLei7ez2vATrkfJPnLOVcnKqffJGHHPlPdHXxFmq0YnKnvjRdEuro7ymJ6_xV4u7QwIvvVI3Y3Ji3K6pDX2aWSOzh9A8_boOJEcg==&amp;c=oJN56n3epq109GTWL3x_R8fKNw5z_jJgD-r3Tj1NM00c6aIIiOVM6Q==&amp;ch=zuZHTYJdPnjFeIEr1RhI0j_na3QUllRfxHvU8gV6RzOakTHjos9y3Q==" rel="nofollow noopener">Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America</a>.

💭 Topic: “Everything You Know about Traditional Marriage is Wrong” 🎤 Lecturer: Azie Dungey 📆 Date: Wednesday, July 15th ⏰ Doors Open: 6:30PM 📍 Location: Midtown East (exact address provided in confirmation email) 🔗 🎟️ This is a ticketed event, get your tickets here: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-wisdom-bar-everything-you-know-about-traditional-marriage-is-wrong-tickets-1991417227535" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-wisdom-bar-everything-you-know-about-traditional-marriage-is-wrong-tickets-1991417227535</a>
What if "traditional marriage" isn't traditional at all? Turns out, the equal partnership we're advocating for in modern relationships? It’s actually more traditional than the gender roles we've come to associate with it — gender equity is the prototype. For much of human history, women were valued for their contributions as much as men, childcare was shared across the whole community, and the idea that two people alone should raise children and meet each other's every need simply did not exist. It was a series of shifts over the centuries that narrowed everything down to the two-person household we now take for granted. And within that shift, we lost something essential. Writer and cultural satirist Azie Dungey takes us on a journey through human history to reveal that our partnership ideals are closer to our ancient origins than the "traditional marriage" of 100 years ago — which, it turns out, was a blip.
Azie Dungey is a WGA-nominated writer for her work on Netflix’s Emmy-nominated comedy Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and has been a writer on shows such as Harlem (Amazon Prime), Girls5Eva (Netflix), Rutherford Falls (NBC), and Sweetbitter (Starz). She is best known as writer and star of her critically- acclaimed YouTube series Ask A Slave, a satirical critique of race and gender with over 2.5 million views. For this series she was featured on NPR, BBC World, MSNBC, New York Magazine, and The Washington Post. A graduate of Tisch School of the Arts at NYU in drama and anthropology, she has been a visiting scholar to Yale, Brown University, Columbia, and was a Fellow-in- Residence at the Center for the Study of Democracy, St Mary’s College. Azie is African American and Pamunkey/Mattaponi (Virginia Tribes) and she is committed to confronting issues of race, history, and social injustice with grace, compassion, and humor.
We will explore:
<ul><li>The resistance, challenges, and social implications we face as we attempt to return gender equality back to its roots.</li><li>How hunter-gatherer societies define gender roles within marital partnerships and family system.</li><li>How traditional courtship roles centered the female desire, and women were considered the more sexually aggressive of the gender even into the age of antiquity</li><li>How the idea of the "nuclear family" (man, wife, children) developed only 150 years ago.</li></ul>
Agenda: 6:30pm – Doors open. Grab drinks and snacks before settling into a seat (first come first serve!) 6:50pm – Host welcomes and intros 7:00pm – Lecture begins 8:00pm – Q&amp;A plus dedicated 1-on-1 time with the speaker. Grab another drink and chat about your thoughts with other attendees. 8:30pm – Event concludes
🤝 You'll enjoy this if you're someone who:
<ul><li>loves Lectures on Tap or social lectures of any kind...think Ted Talks in bars</li><li>likes meeting new people and learning new things</li><li>loves history, literature, art, re-examining events, or niche internet rabbit holes</li><li>wants try something different for their next casual night out, why not? 🍻🤓💭</li></ul>

92NY

Brian Tyler Cohen doesn’t just comment on politics — he dissects the machinery behind it.
Now the #1 New York Times bestselling author, MSNBC contributor, and creator of one of the most-watched independent political platforms in the country comes to 92NY to discuss his new book, The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World.
A leading progressive voice in digital media, Cohen has built a following of millions by translating the chaos of the political moment into clear, unsparing analysis. In The Day After, he turns from diagnosis to prescription, offering his own argument for how progressives should think about power, why he believes the Democrats have too often failed to use it effectively, and what he sees as the stakes for American democracy in the years ahead.
Part political playbook, part manifesto, the book lays out Cohen’s views on the structural fights shaping the future of American government, from the Supreme Court and executive authority to economic policy, voting rights, and climate action. His central question: not just how elections are won, but what governing should look like afterward.
Join Cohen for a timely conversation about the ideas driving his new book, his rise as one of the most influential independent political commentators of his generation, and how the new media landscape is transforming political influence and public debate.

The American Theatre of Actors Inc

Shangri-La-La: A Comedy Musical About Siegfried &amp; Roy
What happens when two ambitious young immigrants come to America, reinvent themselves in Las Vegas, charm the world, build a rhinestone kingdom at The Mirage, and then discover that even white tigers have limits?
Shangri-La-La is a fast-moving new comedy musical inspired by the rise of Siegfried &amp; Roy — with original songs, Vegas glamour, impossible dreams, outrageous costumes, magic, friendship, immigrant reinvention, Steve Wynn, Bugsy Siegel, and just enough tiger danger to keep everyone alert.
Written by Mike Meier &amp; Peter Giambalvo, the show is part showbiz fairy tale, part immigrant dream, part Vegas fever dream — and, yes, inspired by actual events. Unfortunately.
The New York performances are part of the Midtown International Theater Festival and will take place at the American Theatre of Actors in Midtown Manhattan.
Come for the music. Stay for the magic. Leave with a renewed respect for tigers.
Performances: July 25 and July 26, 2026 Venue: American Theatre of Actors, New York City Tickets: Available through the Midtown International Theater Festival (MITF)/Eventbrite /TheaterMania

Merchant Cash Advance Litigation Accelerates Across New York as Courts Examine Alleged Disguised Loan Agreements
New York remains the epicenter of merchant cash advance litigation &mdash; and 2025's landmark enforcement action is reshaping what defenses are available to business owners.
NEW YORK &mdash; Small business owners across the five boroughs are facing a wave of merchant cash advance (MCA) collection actions, and many are being sued in New York courts even when their businesses operate hundreds of miles away.
The reason is structural. Most MCA agreements contain New York forum-selection clauses buried in the fine print, funneling disputes into state Supreme Court regardless of where the business is located. Once a funder files, the timeline moves fast: New York gives defendants roughly 20 to 30 days to respond, and missing that window can result in a default judgment &mdash; followed by frozen bank accounts and restraining notices served directly on institutions like Chase and TD Bank.
What has shifted is the legal landscape underneath these cases. In 2025, the New York Attorney General's settlement with Yellowstone Capital resulted in more than a billion dollars in debt cancellation and confirmed what defense attorneys had argued for years: that many MCA products marketed as "purchases of future receivables" functioned as illegal, disguised loans.
New York courts now weigh three factors to determine whether an MCA is a true receivables purchase or a loan subject to usury limits &mdash; whether the contract contains a genuine reconciliation provision, whether the funder retains recourse if the business fails, and whether the funder bears any real risk. Where daily payments never adjust to actual revenue, courts have increasingly recharacterized the agreement as a loan, potentially triggering New York's criminal usury cap under Penal Law &sect; 190.40.
Business owners also have procedural tools. A default judgment entered through improper service or an out-of-state Confession of Judgment &mdash; a practice New York restricted in 2019 &mdash; can often be challenged with a motion to vacate under CPLR &sect; 5015.
The practical takeaway for New York business owners: the earliest stage of an MCA dispute is when the most options exist. Once a judgment is entered and accounts are frozen, defenses narrow quickly.
