October 21 at 11:30pm
Mezzrow · West Village • Free
The band packs up, the needle drops: Mezzrow's late-night vinyl session spins jazz records deep past midnight in a hushed, candlelit basement. Free entry, nightcap in hand, ears wide open.
October 21 at 7pm +44
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.
Every day at 5pm
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.
October 23 +26
The Terrace · Manhattan • $$
Tucked behind a tailor shop in Harlem, this intimate bar comes alive Thursdays with smooth R&B and DJs spinning through the weekend. Sip craft cocktails on the adorable terrace while the vibe keeps you lingering past midnight.
Every day
Hutong New York · Manhattan • $$$$
Seven hours of happy hour means no rush to snag a seat at this intimate art deco hideaway. Sip discounted cocktails alongside rotating dim sum and small plates that feel far fancier than their price tag.
October 22 at 10pm +15
Hekate Café & Elixir Lounge · Manhattan • $$
Get your cards read by Katherine the Great while sipping a craft mocktail at this witchy East Village spot. Your $25 ticket includes one famously complex elixir and a personal tarot reading every Thursday evening.

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.
