Roll up for the Magical Mystery Tour at Tompkins Square Park



The Abracadabra Field Trip mobile music jam bus was back on Avenue A and St. Mark's Place last evening.

The Abracadabra Magical Mystery Tour (which is affiliated with Airbnb) touched down at Tompkins Square Park yesterday to the bemusement and enjoyment of dozens.

The onlookers enjoyed the festivities featuring topless dancers and some songs they were all familiar with, including from The Beatles and their own original music.

It seemed as though a good — albeit a little confusing — time was had by all. Some didn't know what to make of it. One audience member joined the festivities by removing her top in a show of solidarity.

We should be thankful that this type of fun event can still happen in New York City without the NYPD arriving to shut it down. Thank you Abracadabra Magical Mystery Tour. We appreciate you.

    Sorry to be an Oscar the Grouch but....

    Seems like just more corporations sponsoring “cool” entertainment as a way to buy off residents and ensure political complacency.
    Folks lose housing to Airbnb but it is “ok” because Airbnb spends a little money entertaining us with fake “cool”.
    As for the topless dancers...gee funny there were no guy dancers without pants swinging around...
    Yep, all is “fun” for the male gaze.

    Oscar the grouch is a very dated and male reference

    Female toplessness has been legal in NY for almost 30 years. Why would the cops show up?

    Women have been legally allowed to go topless in public in New York City since 1992.

    Men exposing their genitals in public — not so much.

    Actually in 2019 parents and kids who watch Sesame Street know who Oscar the Grouch is 🙂

    I was surprised the cops didn't show up for the noise without a permit more than the toplessness rationale.

    Just in case any of the dancers read this blog, let me just say Thank You! You're a great addition to the E.V. and please do not listen to the haters.
