Park Games and Supper Club
Cabaret Sightlines
Duane Park at 308 Bowery builds the meal around a variety show. A four-course dinner is paced alongside burlesque, acrobatics, and live music. Dinner and show run Thursday through Sunday. Choose a main dining table for a birthday or anniversary centered on the performers. At the bar, seats have a limited view of the stage. The dining room has candlelit tables draped in white cloths. Performers engage directly with the crowd.
Canal and Laight Corner
Daily hours at Albert Capsouto Park run from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Entry is free. Plan this outdoor stop before an evening performance. The triangular public park is at 68 Varick Street in Lower Manhattan. Choose a chess table or settle on the sunning lawn. Elyn Zimmerman designed the 114-foot sculptural fountain. Plantings fill the plaza. It opened in 2009 on a former parking lot.
Seats Beside the Action
Mature trees cast shade at Seward Park. This was the country's first municipal playground. The park opens daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Pack a picnic for a shared meal with children between games. Try the free table tennis setup for a game together. Sports courts and a splash pad offer other ways to play. Benches and picnic tables give the group places to sit between activities.
