Mino Brasserie · West Village • $45
Close your eyes and you might forget you're in Manhattan. Every Sunday, Mino Brasserie serves up a proper French evening: Moules Marinières, crispy Frites, your choice of wine, and Crème Brûlée, all in a candlelit room that feels lifted straight from Paris.

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.
