Ryan's Daughter is celebrating 40 years on East 85th Street! With the help of some good Friends, we are producing 4 shows in 4 days; June 20, 21, 22, 23. These events are specifically a celebration of the neighborhood, it's artists their art, its history, and the people who've made it. Change is constant, as we know well, and sometimes sticking around means saying good-bye. Building a community is the best way to preserving a neighborhood. Join us in celebration of doing just that!

Step in, Stand Clear, Drink Up!
Thanks to the Second Avenue Subway, you can get all the way from the Upper East Side to Coney Island via the Q Train. We're kicking off summer, and celebrating this new route to the beach, with a transit history talk and beer tasting at Ryan's Daughter. As we relax over summery sips, architectural historian Francis Morrone will trace the development of transit on the Upper East Side from horse cars to steam engines to subways. We'll find out how the 2 nd and 3 rd Avenue Els carried newcomers to Yorkville, helping the neighborhood's immigrant communities flourish; see how transit on Park Avenue "went electric" and made the area one of the most prestigious addresses in the country, and discover who's behind the MTA's new spectacular subway art. Thursday, June 20th 6:30 p.m. Ryan's Daughter 350 East 85th Street $15 for FRIENDS Members, $25 for Non-Members
