Play Hooky Adult Recess: Bk Backyard Bar

Brooklyn Magazine included The Play Hooky Experience at Bk Backyard Bar in its July 8 weekend guide, pointing readers to a Friday, July 10 daytime event billed as an “immersive adult recess.” The listing says the program starts at 11 a.m. and frames it as a field-day-style gathering for adults with live music, DJs and vendors. Eventbrite identifies the event as “The Play Hooky Experience Brooklyn New York (Jay z Weekend)” at the Brooklyn venue. The ticketing page says the event was sold out at a listed price of $21.17. ### When and where is this happening? Friday, July 10 is the date attached to the Brooklyn event on Eventbrite, which lists Bk Backyard Bar in Brooklyn, New York, as the venue and 11 a.m. as the start time. Brooklyn Magazine’s July 8 guide matches that timing, placing the event in its roundup of things to do in the borough this weekend. (bkmag.com) Bk Backyard Bar appears on doNYC as an active Brooklyn venue with an events calendar, though the venue’s own events page surfaced in search did not show the July listing in the snippet available. The third-party listings consistently name Bk Backyard Bar as the host site for the Play Hooky stop. ### What is “adult recess” supposed to mean here? (bkmag.com) Brooklyn Magazine described the event as “the immersive adult recess you’ve always wanted” and compared it to “your summer camp field day, but this time with grown-ups.” The same listing says the program includes live music, DJs and vendors. (donyc.com) Eventbrite presents the Brooklyn date as part of The Play Hooky Experience, a branded series that also lists stops in Chicago, Louisville and Kansas City. The organizer page shows multiple city editions built around the same daytime format, with several starting around late morning or noon. ### Why does the listing mention Jay-Z weekend? (bkmag.com) Eventbrite names the Brooklyn date “The Play Hooky Experience Brooklyn New York (Jay z Weekend).” Brooklyn Magazine repeats that title in its listing, but neither snippet available in search results explains the phrase further or ties it to a separate official city designation. (eventbrite.com) Because the available public listings use the phrase as part of the event name rather than as a separately explained program element, the clearest verified description is that “Jay z Weekend” is included in the title under which the organizer is marketing the Brooklyn stop. (bkmag.com) ### How much did tickets cost, and are they still available? Eventbrite’s organizer page lists the Brooklyn event at “From $21.17” and marks it sold out. The individual event page confirms the July 10 date and 11 a.m. start at Bk Backyard Bar, though the search snippet does not show additional ticket tiers or capacity. (eventbrite.com) AllEvents, another event aggregator, also shows the Brooklyn date at Bk Backyard Bar beginning at 11 a.m. on July 10. That secondary listing aligns with the timing and venue shown on Eventbrite. ### Where can readers verify the details before going? Brooklyn Magazine’s July 8 weekend guide is the editorial listing that surfaced the event in a broader roundup of Brooklyn activities. (eventbrite.com) Eventbrite carries the organizer’s ticketing page with the date, time, venue and sales status. As of Thursday, July 9, the next concrete milestone is the Friday, July 10 start time of 11 a.m. at Bk Backyard Bar.
