6 p.m. to 12 a.m.: Located both inside and outside of the Ace Hotel (20 West 29th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues), Havaianas will bring a taste of Brazil to Fashion’s Night Out’s biggest block party.  Each customer can customize their own flip flops; the FNO sandals will be sold for $25 and $2.50 per pin. Proceeds will go to Opening Ceremony’s charity of choice. To give the event an authentic Brazilian market vibe, a traditional Brazilian fortune teller will be on-site to offer color aura readings to help consumers select their custom color combinations. Brazilian wish bracelets and Havaianas tote bags will also be distributed.
7 p.m. to 9 p.m.: DANNIJO (423 West 14th Street between 9th Avenue and Washington Street) is keeping Fashion’s Night Out happy, lighthearted and cool with their very own DANNIJO Ice Cream Truck.

Conway Discount Clothing Chain Closing in New York City

(Tracy E. Hopkins) It's the end of a budget shopping era. Conway discount stores are closing in New York City . As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to the Big Apple, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore.  I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued.  I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store.  And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store. One regretful ensemble: Lime green and...

DanceAfrica 2024 Returns to Brooklyn Academy of Music

The DanceAfrica Bazaar is one of my favorite annual street fairs. I love to watch folks show up and show out in their flyest Afrocentric garb and to shop for handmade beaded bracelets and earrings from the African vendors.  And when I'm fortunate enough to snag a ticket as I did this year courtesy of BAM, I enjoy watching the kinetic African dancers (this time the country featured is Cameroon) during the spirited and spirit-filled DanceAfrica performance at the Howard Gilman Opera House.   (Photos courtesy of BAM/Tony Turner) If you want to join in the fun, here's the weekend lineup that's truly for the culture.
