May 13
Time Out Market New York · Dumbo • $0
Soul Records Laboratory turns Time Out Market's rooftop into a Wednesday night dance party, with rotating DJs, Grey Goose cocktails, and the Manhattan skyline doing backup.
Wed, May 12 · 8:00 PM
Xanadu Roller Arts · Bushwick
Hump day hits different on eight wheels. Xanadu's weekly skate night pairs rotating guest DJs with a welcoming rink where wobblers and pros share the floor, plus a bar for spectating.

Soft Bar · Greenpoint • $
Dance till midnight without the hangover. Soft Beats brings live DJs and soft cocktails to Greenpoint for alcohol-free nightlife that's actually fun.
Sat, May 8 · 12:00 PM
McCarren Park · Williamsburg
Sick of swiping? This brick wall lets you meet singles the old-fashioned way—sort of. Post a Polaroid and fill out a "cupid card," then let the organizers play matchmaker.
Mon, May 10 · 6:15 PM
KOMA Sushi · Midwood
Watch sushi chefs carve a 400-pound tuna tableside, then feast on unlimited omakase starring every cut from lean akami to buttery otoro. It's Brooklyn's most Instagram-famous Monday night for good reason.
Sun, May 9 · 5:00 PM
gertrude’s · Prospect Heights • $$
Jewish soul food meets old-world European charm on a tree-lined Brooklyn patio. The menu leans into elevated comfort—think Latkes with Trout Roe, Bavette Steak, and that legendary Black & White Seven Layer Cake.

Windsor Terrace Food Coop · Windsor Terrace
Skip the stove and support your neighbors. Chefs on Call serves up ready-to-eat South Asian and West African dinners made by talented immigrant cooks building economic security through their craft.

Windsor Terrace Food Coop · Windsor Terrace
Take home a taste of someone else's kitchen. Every Friday, immigrant chefs cook the dishes they grew up with: order by Thursday evening and pick up a ready-to-eat meal that supports both the coop and the cooks behind it.

Kellogg’s Diner · Williamsburg • $$
Sneak into the back room of a Williamsburg diner for late-night standup with comics from Netflix, HBO, and Comedy Central. Grab a cocktail and some pancakes: the jokes hit harder after midnight.

The Spare Room · Greenpoint • $8-$10
See tomorrow's headliners before they sell out arenas. This weekly showcase packs Comedy Central and SNL veterans into an intimate basement bar where the drinks are cheap and the laughs are genuine.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
