February 15 at 6:15pm
KOMA Sushi · Midwood • $$$$
Watch sushi chefs carve a 400-pound tuna tableside, then feast on unlimited omakase starring every cut from lean akami to buttery otoro. It's Brooklyn's most Instagram-famous Monday night for good reason.
Mon, Feb 15 · 5:00 PM
Mommy's Cocktail Bar · Williamsburg • $$
This snug Graham Avenue spot feels like crashing at a friend's apartment, if that friend happened to pour excellent cocktails and fry up gluten-free chicken. The happy hour runs generous and the comfort food menu sneaks in surprises like gluten-free ramen.
Mon, Feb 15 · 5:00 PM
The Hidden Pearl · Greenpoint • $$
Slip through a ramen shop and into a secret bar where Japanese spirits meet craft cocktails. The intimate space feels like stepping into another world, with skylights, creative garnishes, and bites that taste as thoughtful as they look.
Sun, Feb 14 · 5:00 PM
gertrude’s · Prospect Heights • $$
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.
February 18 at 1:15am
Marian's Brooklyn · Bedford-Stuyvesant • Free
Free laughs and a free drink every Wednesday in Bed-Stuy's coziest back room. Catch rising NYC comics workshopping new material or bringing their A game, with pre-show piano to set the mood.
February 18 at 1:15am
Marian's Brooklyn · Bedford-Stuyvesant • Free
Catch rising NYC comics testing fresh material in the back room of a cozy Bed-Stuy jazz club. Your free ticket comes with a beer or wine, and the hosts have HBO and Comedy Central credits.
February 17 at 11pm
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.
February 18 at 2am
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.
Feb. 15 & Feb. 18 at 11:30pm
NYC Resistor · Boerum Hill • $0
Bring whatever you're making and settle in among lasers, looms, and half-finished robots. NYC Resistor's craft nights are a free, welcoming hang for anyone who likes building things with their hands.
February 16 at 12:30am
Talon Bar · Bushwick • Free
Draw a live fetish model while sipping cocktails at Talon's weekly alternative drink-and-draw. Art supplies are provided, so just bring your curiosity and a two-drink appetite.
February 16 at 7pm
The Brooklyn Loft · Bushwick • $28.52
Nearly three hours with a nude model, from 30-second warm-ups to a luxurious 45-minute final pose. All materials included at this mellow loft session, so just show up and sketch.
Every day
Gotham Archery - Brooklyn · Gowanus • $45
Channel your inner Hawkeye in a one-hour crash course that takes you from zero to actually hitting targets. Patient instructors break down stance, aim, and release into simple steps, then let you loose for 40 minutes of shooting practice plus a friendly competition. All gear provided, just bring your focus (and maybe a little competitive spirit).
Browse Brooklyn neighborhood by neighborhood, get ideas just for you, or ask me anything.

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.
