The Three Kings and Their Queens

Saturday, Nov. 8, 8 p.m.

Lehman Center for the Performing Arts, 250 Bedford Park Blvd. W.

$63+

Step back into the golden era of Latin music with The Three Kings and Their Queens, a theatrical musical concert that transports audiences to the legendary Palladium, the “Home of the Mambo.” The show takes you back to New York City in the 1950s to the city’s most iconic nightclub, where people from all economic and social backgrounds—working class, middle class and high society—gathered to dance the night away. In an era when divisions in society were prevalent, the Palladium offered unity on the dance floor. It was one of the few places where differences in race and class were set aside in the name of music and dance. Hollywood stars, gangsters, judges and everyday New Yorkers all shared the same floor. The only rule? “Can you dance?”

Van Cortlandt Nature Group Walk

Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2-3 p.m.

Riverdale Stables, 6394 Broadway

Free

Take a slow walk in the park and learn about local flora and fauna with naturalist Debbi Dolan.

The colors of autumn are muting, but there is still much to relish on a walk in nature. Most of summer’s songbirds have moved on to warmer climates to our south, but you’ll still find plenty of bustling activity in the woodlands as new winter resident birds arrive from the north, like the white throated sparrows and dark-eyed juncos, also known as “snowbirds.”. We’ll look for the flash of the junco’s white-edged tail feathers and listen for the sweet song of the white-throated sparrows, and look for American tree sparrows in the grasses and trees. Birds of prey and other birds will become more visible as trees begin to shed their leaves. On warm days in November, we may see woolly bear caterpillars and yellow sulfur butterflies, mourning cloaks still fluttering about.
