Each weekend, we like to tell you what’s up in New York. This way, when you finish your bus tour or you’re just hopping off, you’ll know what to do. Here’s what’s happening this weekend in New York City:
Lobster Day Friday!
Lobster Day with SoupMan
Friday is National Lobster Day and there is no better way to celebrate than with half-priced lobster bisque from The Original SoupMan. That’s right; the real soup seller who inspired the eternally famous Seinfeld character is going all out for Lobster Day. 50% off lobster bisque, $2 off lobster rolls, outdoor music… We even hear that there’s going to be someone in a lobster suit hanging out with the customers! Stop by their location on 55th and 8th between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. for the best soup you’ll ever try.

On Monday night there will be a free screening of the Hitchcock classic, Psycho. Every Monday until the end of August more great films – from Butch Cassidy to Indiana Jones – will be shown.
