The Bone Museum invites you to study the structures inside your own body through human osteology, the study of bones. Its anatomical specimens include a collection of human spines, alongside examples of rare pathologies and trauma.
Human Relations puts literary fiction, poetry and radical politics within the same bookshop on Flushing Avenue, east of the museum. You can browse both used and new books here, with philosophy, graphic novels and foreign-language books extending the selection beyond contemporary English-language fiction.
The Bushwick artisans behind Nose Best teach you to make a candle or formulate a perfume in their independent fragrance studio, close to Human Relations on Knickerbocker Avenue. The classes are fully guided and designed for beginners. In the candle workshop, you work through wicking, mixing and pouring your own blend; the perfume class concentrates on creating a signature scent to wear.
Company XIV’s performers bring circus, opera, dance and magic into the same theatrical world at Théâtre XIV by Company XIV. You’re coming for a production built around baroque burlesque, with ornate costumes and aerial artistry among the company’s signatures. Founder Austin McCormick works with classically trained artists, drawing cabaret and classical performance into the shows.
Musicians, DJs and party collectives shape the program at Elsewhere, north of Théâtre XIV on Johnson Avenue. You can come for a live concert or a club night, so the performer and party lineup are the useful distinction when deciding on an evening. The team previously ran Glasslands in Williamsburg and built Elsewhere around independent music, art and free expression.
