October 28 at 7pm +39
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.
October 31 at 2:30pm (This weekend) +59
The Otter · Manhattan • $$$$
Brunch at The Otter feels like stepping into a 1920s dream with fresh oysters and seafood-forward plates. The art deco dining room and sidewalk patio set a stylish stage for Crab Omelettes, Lobster Rolls, and leisurely afternoons that stretch well past noon.
October 31 at 11:30am (This weekend) +33
Filé Gumbo Bar · Tribeca
Live jazz, bottomless brunch cocktails, and proper New Orleans soul food in a honey-hued Tribeca dining room. The All-In Tiny's Gumbo hits deep, the beignets are worth the trip alone, and the jazz trio somehow makes everything taste even better.
October 31 at 3:30pm (This weekend) +37
Filé Gumbo Bar · Manhattan
This place is an absolute vibe. Brunch at Filé brings the Big Easy to Tribeca with a live jazz trio, bottomless Hurricanes and Milk Punch, and soul-warming gumbo served in a sunlit room of honey banquettes and white brick.
November 1 at 12pm (This weekend) +14
The Throwback · Upper West Side • $$
Zach Birnbaum performs live every Sunday at The Throwback, pairing elevated comfort food with a soundtrack of live music. It is a polished, chef-driven brunch ritual in East Harlem.

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.

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.
