What We Do in the Shadows, based on the feature film by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, documents the nightly exploits of vampire roommates Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), Laszlo (Matt Berry) and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) as they navigate the modern world of Staten Island with the help of their human familiar, Guillermo (Harvey Guillén).

NYC Homecoming Week, August 14-22, is a citywide celebration featuring live concerts, free movie screenings, cultural activities, iconic events, public art, and more. This five-borough week of events drives support for the mom-and-pop businesses that define our neighborhoods and that kept the heart of our city beating throughout the COVID pandemic.

Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden is an 83-acre campus offering dynamic programming for diverse communities of all ages in the arts, horticulture, and agriculture on enchanting grounds which include 26 historic structures, 14 botanical gardens, a 2.5-acre urban farm, wetlands, forests and park land.
