BODAI 菩提 Vegan · Midtown • $99
Six seats, one doorbell, and a 9-course parade of rare mountain mushrooms: Bodai channels Qing Palace vegetarian cuisine through Chef Guo's forty years of craft. Ring the bell and surrender to the fungi.
Every day
Hutong New York · Manhattan • $$$$
Seven hours of happy hour means no rush to snag a seat at this intimate art deco hideaway. Sip discounted cocktails alongside rotating dim sum and small plates that feel far fancier than their price tag.
October 15 at 6pm
100 Feast & Lounge · Chinatown • $120
A banquet built for lingering: gourmet Cantonese courses, pours of Moutai Chun, and a room full of people worth meeting. Come hungry, leave with new friends.
December 12 at 5pm
The Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural & Educational Center · Lower East Side
Part art project, part dinner party: build your own sandwich from mobile kitchen carts, where Cuban and Chinese recipes meet local ingredients. Stick around for an artist talk on food, soil, and memory.
December 24 at 8pm
TAO Downtown Restaurant · Chelsea • $$$$
The time-honored Jewish Christmas Eve tradition, upgraded: Chinese food, cocktails, and a room full of young professionals at TAO Downtown's dramatic den. Skip the takeout container, this year it's a party.
Spicy Moon Bowery · Manhattan • $$
A Night of Love Songs pairs live jazz from the AAPI Jazz Collective with plant-based Szechuan fare in a room dressed head to toe in red. Come sip, savor, and maybe steal a dance during the open jam.
Browse Manhattan 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.

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.
