Arts Brookfield and Third Rail Projects will present a site-specific pop-up, OASIS, for the Winter Garden starting today till April 12. Set in the 1980s, when the building first opened, four over-worked “dreamers” take their daily lunch breaks inside the Winter Garden. Longing for relief from the daily grind, they find themselves unexpectedly swept into a mirage that appears on the staircase. As the story unfolds over 10 episodes, these strangers find themselves uniting in unexpected ways. After a two-week series of lunchtime vignettes, a culminating performance will occur on the evening on Friday, April 12, combining all of the previous episodes.
The weekday performances are 10-minutes long and will be performed at noon and 1; the final full-length performance will run at 7:30p. For more information visit https://bfplny.com/stories/oasis.

KOSHER STEAKS IN FIDI
Wall Street Grill – a new kosher steakhouse – just opened at 128 Pearl. There’s outdoor seating, sushi and sashimi, but of course a “Butcher’s Corner” with specials like the bone-marrow crusted filet and a 20-ounce rib chop. Yipes! That’s a lot of meat!!
