McCarren concerts move to East River Park
Regina Spektor plays "The Flowers" at MCPP last summer.
Exciting news! The McCarren Park Pool concert series (which is largely free) has found a new home, according to the Times. Since the pool is going back to being a pool, all the groups, including Jelly NYC, that hosted events there the past couple of summers needed somewhere else to set up that slip-n-slide. They found a place: "A strip along the East River between North Eighth and North Ninth Streets that was designated a New York State park a few years ago will have concerts this summer, with room for 6,000 fans," says the Times story.
