TICKETS + INFORMATION

Petr Kotik’s New York and Czech ensembles get together for three nights (the first a rehearsal for the other two) of the kind of music Kotik specializes in: New York School and Post-New York School American, and Czech avant-garde unknown to most of us parochial New Yorkers. Watch for improvisations by Roscoe Mitchell, Thomas Buckner, and guests on Saturday.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Wednesday, top-notch cocktails and a better-than-decent burger at The Long Island Bar. Thursday, excellent Pakistani — you don’t see Beef Nihari everywhere, but after you have this places’s you’ll wish you did — at Lahori Chilli. Friday, it would be a pity to be in the Bohemian National Hall and not to stop into Bohemian Spirit for some stick-to-your-ribs Czech food (and let’s not forget the beer).
