ONLY ONE WEEKEND A MONTH! This vintage pop up is in an old carriage house in the East Village. It’s so fun to walk inside, but also to browse the best vintage and antique dealers. The finds are usually spot on for what we’re looking for on a day of vintage and thrifting!

Laughternoon at Teehee’s Comedy Club

We love a little comedy in the afternoon moment. Described as,”A comedy show for the masses, yet catering to those who stay in at night or always have weekend plans. We know who you are, we see you and we think you deserve a hearty laugh that fits your weekend schedule. Enjoy that matinee feeling of a killer show only to realize when it’s all over, your Saturday is not. Come get your sides split by a stellar standup showcase while the sun is still up.”
