Over the years more and more outdoor venues have sprung up out of the lush park land and the not-so-lush concrete spaces of New York. From Central Park Summerstage to the Seaport to McCarren Pool (RIP), there's no shortage of outdoor music venues during the summer months. But now the NY Post is pitting them against each other! They say that while Summerstage used to be "a magnet for denizens of the five boroughs, as well as hordes of tourists," its reign may be challenged as people are beginning to voice complaints of it "being too hot, too crowded, too greedy."

While the Woodstock crew tries to work out the logistics of having their 40th anniversary concert in Prospect Park, the folks at Celebrate Brooklyn! have announced some of their summer show lineups, including an Opening Night Green Gala & Concert to kick it all off. On June 8th you can attend the eco-friendly Gala for anywhere from $325 to $10,000, which includes a reserved seat to the concert (Mr. David Bryne), cocktails, dinner, and a dance party, and they ask that you wear summer cocktail attire (that sounds so Gatsby!). Those pinching their pennies can pay $0 to $3 (suggested donation) for non-reserved seats to the concert portion of the evening. Not a bad deal!
