Manhattan milonga

Posted on May 24, 2011

If you’re in New York any time between May 29 and the end of September, try out the free milonga at Union Square Park.

With a real dancefloor, the milonga, which will be on the north side of the park by 17th Street and Broadway, will be open between 6pm and 10pm with a lesson to the side of the floor between 7pm and 8pm. The live music this Sunday is by the Octavio Brunetti Quintet.
