If you’d like to see Baratunde perform, he often hosts Sage Standup, which is every Thursday evening at the Sage Theater in midtown (you may have already known that, and he may not still be hosting, but he was a few months ago!!).
Trying to catch up on blogs and stuff today (it’ll take a lot longer than today but..) and I thought I’d make a suggestion.
On your museum tour, you might visit The Noguchi Museum. He’s one of my favorite sculptors and you’d enjoy the visit.
