Live Jazz and Gospel Brunch

Live Jazz and Gospel Brunch

October 14 at 7pm +49

Ginny's Supper Club · Harlem

A hidden basement supper club where gospel brunch Sundays turn into joyful singalongs with a live choir. The rest of the week brings jazz, soul food steakhouse fare, and a dance floor.

SUSHI, SAKE & SING!

SUSHI, SAKE & SING!

October 15 at 9pm +10

Tatsuda Omakase · Manhattan • $115

Dinner that turns into the after-party: a 16-course omakase with 90 minutes of unlimited sake, beer, and chu-hi, capped off with karaoke in your own private room.

New York Happy Meal

New York Happy Meal

Every day

Cecchi's · West Village • $25

Sidle up to the bar for the New York Happy Meal: a stiff Martini and pile of signature fries for $25. It's a chic, unpretentious ritual that turns an ordinary afternoon into something worth toasting.

Happy Hour

Happy Hour

October 14 at 9pm +59

Metropolis · Manhattan • $$$

Skip the cramped FiDi bars and unwind in a stunning, spacious lounge with $10 cocktails and a live DJ spinning while you snack. The security screening at the door feels exclusive, and the Red Cornbread with goat's milk butter is worth the trip alone.

R&B Thursday Nights

R&B Thursday Nights

October 16 +27

The Terrace · Manhattan • $$

Tucked behind a tailor shop in Harlem, this intimate bar comes alive Thursdays with smooth R&B and DJs spinning through the weekend. Sip craft cocktails on the adorable terrace while the vibe keeps you lingering past midnight.

Happy Hour

Happy Hour

Every day

Aqua Roma | New York · Manhattan

Sunday through Monday, the Happy Hour never sleeps. Aqua Spirit's 24-hour marathon pairs $20 drink-and-bite combos (think Negroni with Wagyu Katsu Sando or Lychee Martini with Spicy Tuna Maki) inside a sculptural bar that feels more like a stage set than a restaurant.

Frequently asked questions

How are these bars in Manhattan chosen?

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.

Is everything here still happening?

Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.

How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?

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.

Do I need an account to use Outgoing?

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.

Is Outgoing free?

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.
