The Checklist May 14

  • HANDSOME DAN'S STAND

Snocones always bring back the best of childhood memories, so it's no surprise that an adult version of the kid favorite is bound to be a hit. Daniel Levin (aka handsome Dan) must have known this all too well, because he's created a new Williamsburg sweets shop that serves up all-natural snocones in adult flavors (think Earl Grey Cream and Orange Blossom Ginger) as well as nostalgia-inducing candies like Pixy Stix and Ring Pops. We can't get there fast enough. 218 Bedford Avenue, nr. N. 5th St., Williamsburg; 410-241-3472.

  • TOMAS SARACENO, "CLOUD CITY" 

Trained as an architect, Tomas Saraceno has conceptualized some pretty incredible installations in the past that encompass themes challenging our traditional ideas about space, proportion and gravity. His latest installation opening on the Met's roof garden tomorrow is part of a 10-year-long ongoing series and will invite visitors to interact with his creations, or as Saraceno described them to the New York Times, "an international space station." We're pretty sure the exhibition is going to make for some very interesting dinner conversation--and some great Instagram photo opps. For more info visit Metmuseum.org.

  • REFINERY29 BEAUTY ON WHEELS:

Starting this Thursday May 17, Refinery 29 will be sponsoring summer makeovers in Manhattan via their Beauty on Wheels van. Besides the fact that we're not ones to say no to a beauty freebee, the lifestyle website's crew of stylists will be making convenient pit stops in both Washington Square Park and Madison Square Park for a full day of pampering. Make sure to book your appointment asap at Refinery29.com before it's too late.

  • BEACH HOUSE, "BLOOM"

Beach House is far from new to the music scene, and tomorrow marks the release of their fourth album--one that as far as we can tell is keeping right in rhythm with the success they've seen in recent years. Plus, with its addictive yet hypnotizing dream pop sound, "Bloom" seems to be one of those rare albums that we could listen to in its entirety--over and over again. We've already spotted a few contenders for our perfect summer playlist. Buy it tomorrow on iTunes.com

  • SUNSET WALK AND SHOP

Food and fashion--two things that go very well together, if you ask us. Which is why this weekend's Sunset Walk and Shop in West Hollywood is currently on our to-do list. The last Sunday in a three-weekend event series will culminate this May 20th, with tons of food and fashion trucks to explore and everything comes at a reasonable price (including the free tickets). 11-4 PM this Sunday at 8420 Sunset Blvd. For more info, visit Walkandshop.eventbrite.com.
