While New York’s parks lay dormant, Park Here gives bands a chance to rock out

Tuesday, four more acts rocked Openhouse’s pop-up park at 201 Mulberry St. Well, five if you count Doris Cellar’s impromptu performance outside Park Here. Rolling Stone’s RS Fest is like an outdoor summer music festival … except indoors in winter and with a much more intimate crowd. In a more beautiful setting and in the heart of New York City’s Nolita neighborhood. The RS Fest line up started with a set from Freelance Whales followed by Ximena Sarinana, Deer Tick and MNDR. Check out the pictures below, the Doris Cellar video and pics from Hacienda + Dawes who launched RS Fest last week.

While Governors Island, Summer Stage and Prospect Park lay dormant, some say Park Here is the greatest outdoor venue in the city.
