Monday, April 6
Head to the Bronx Monday afternoon to see the New York Yankees' home opener against the Toronto Blue Jays. After a lackluster 2014, critics are predicting more of the same. If the aging team plays at their peak, the Yankees should make the playoffs. The first mission is to take care of the Blue Jays in this three-game home series — Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Tickets for Monday start at around $50, but are much cheaper on Wednesday and Thursday. Yankee Stadium, Concourse.

Interested in the next wave of young, emerging visual artists? Catch the opening reception Tuesday evening for a group of senior art students from The Cooper Union School of Art.

Wednesday, April 8
The Rubin Museum Of Art — specializing in the art of the Himalayas, India, and neighboring regions — invite you unwind this evening at their weekly Himalayan Happy Hour (6 p.m. to 9 p.m.). On offer are Indian and Tibetan specialties alongside tea, wine, beer, or featured speciality cocktails. The Happy Hour also features live music from the Himalayas and South Asia. The gallery is open until 9 p.m. this evening. 150 W. 17th St., Chelsea. $15 for Gallery admission.

In conjunction with the Björk exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, MoMA PS1 presents "Stonemilker" a virtual reality music video directed by Andrew Thomas Huang, who has also made clips for fellow Icelandic artists Sigur Ros and Thom Yorke's band Atoms for Peace. "Stonemilker" is presented in the Buckminster Fuller-inspired geodesic VW Dome, which once inside, transforms into an immersive Icelandic landscape. Guests are fitted with VR headsets for the seven minute experience, and can interact with what has been described as “one of Björk’s most raw and revealing performances to date in a manner that is both intimate and confrontational.” While admission to MoMA PS1 is suggested donation, full admission ($10 adults, $5 students and seniors) is required to enter this special exhibition. Through to May 17. 22-25 Jackson Ave., Long Island City.
