Subway disruptions return to Roosevelt Island this weekend. According to the MTA, there will be no Queens bound F Train service to Roosevelt Island this weekend but there will be Manhattan bound service from Roosevelt Island and RIOC is reporting no weekend service advisories for the Tram.

Things to do this weekend in New York City include

• an evening of waterfront Jazz on Friday night with the Rutkowski Trio at Solar One on East 23rd street and the East River
• Roosevelt Island Summer Outdoor Movie of Monster House,a children's film at Firefighter's Field on Saturday night
• Shakespeare In The Park (Central Park) showing of Hair, The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical
  

For other ideas on what to do in New York City this weekend check out the NY Times Urban Eye, NY Post Weekend Calendar and Newyorkology.

Also, set your calendar for next Saturday's (August 16) return of an outdoor movie to Southpoint Park. Rooftop Films will be presenting the documentary Song Sung Blue about:

Lightning & Thunder, a homegrown Milwaukee husband and wife Neil Diamond cover band. They fall in love, rise to fame and suffer grave misfortune as they share the music of the Jewish Elvis with the people of Milwaukee.

There will also be an opportunity for all those interested to perform Neil Diamond Karaoke live on stage prior to the film but you need to sign up by emailing Rooftop here. It is hard for me as a Yankee fan to write this but I know there are Roosevelt Island and other New York City Red Sox fans out there who would love to do their version of Sweet Caroline at Neil Diamond Karaoke. So sign up.
