It's nigh on sweltering season in the city. Since the temps in that air-condition-less sublet of yours probably extend past what your weather app registers, keep outside for an open-air concert. And a free one, at that.
Get bluesy under the summer sun tomorrow night at 7 p.m. for the Blue Note Jazz Festival featuring Medeski Martin & Wood, Joshe Roseman & The King Froopy Allstars and Jim Black's AlasnNoAxis. On June 21, get in on the France-wide "Fête de la Musique" this side of the Atlantic with Ben L'Oncle Soul and Catherine Ringer. Both concerts are at Central Park's SummerStage (Rumsey Playfield near East 72nd Street and Fifth Avenue).
