Every day at 10:30pm
Blue Note · Greenwich Village
Legendary Greenwich Village jazz club where world-class musicians play intimate shows just feet from your table. The space is compact and the vibe is pure New York—expect tight seating, excellent drinks, and unforgettable performances.
Every day
Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre · Theater District • $64
Havana's golden age gets the Broadway treatment, with a live onstage band tearing through son, bolero, and danzón. This Tony-winning musical traces the true story behind the legendary album: expect goosebumps and happy feet.
Tue, Nov 3 · 7:30 PM
LPR · Manhattan • $57.47
Football heads, rejoice: Hey Arnold!'s jazzy score gets the live treatment for the show's 30th. Composer Jim Lang leads the PS 118 AllStars through the themes you know by heart, with creator Craig Bartlett along for the ride.

Smalls Jazz Club · West Village • No Cover Charge For Musicians
Late-night bass playing anchors this jam session at Smalls Jazz Club, where Kyle Colina hosts musicians through the early morning hours with no cover charge for performing artists.
November 3 at 6pm
Governors Island Ferry · Financial District
Savor a rustic Italian countryside picnic on a car-free island, with sunset views of the Manhattan skyline as your backdrop. Misipasta hosts just 16 guests per night for an intimate, transport-included evening that feels worlds away from the city.
Tue, Nov 3 · 8:30 PM
Manhattan • $10
You never know who'll show up at this intimate rooftop speakeasy. Comedy Cellar regulars and occasional celebrity drop-ins perform for pocket change in a room that fits 20, with 38 craft beers waiting downstairs.
November 3 at 7:30pm
Kismat · Washington Heights • Free
Twelve years strong, this no-cover Tuesday jam skips the opening set and dives straight into the music. Bring your axe or just your ears, and grab a curry while the quartet cooks.
November 3 at 10pm
Tatsuda Omakase · Manhattan • $115
Serious sushi, then gloriously unserious singing. Tatsuda's 16-course omakase comes with 90 minutes of unlimited sake, beer, and chu-hi, followed by a private karaoke room to belt it all out.
November 3 at 9pm
Cherry Lane Theatre · West Village • $74
An infamous 2000s shock video gets the stage treatment in this world premiere comedy. Eliya Smith's play uses verbatim dialogue to poke at sex, disgust, and the body: squeamish need not apply.
Every day from Sep. 1 to Jan. 8
Greenwich House Theater · Manhattan • $90
A life-altering relationship ends, then the real work begins. This raw Off-Broadway drama follows one woman's rocky path forward, with a rotating cast of stars (Nyong'o, Falco, Soo, Nef) taking turns in the lead role.
Every day
Manhattan
Five shots of whiskey prime an actor for an epic ninety-minute retelling of Transylvania's most famous vampire. The Drunk Shakespeare Society stages this seasonal comedy featuring fog effects, strobe lights, and ample audience interaction.
Every day at 11pm from Oct. 8 to Nov. 8
Ars Nova · Hell's Kitchen
Former pastor's kid Brandon Kyle Goodman leads a rousing "service" on sex, connection, and embracing your inner "heaux." Expect honest storytelling, plenty of laughs, and zero judgment in this intimate theatrical celebration of pleasure and self-acceptance.

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.
