Lele's Roman · Boerum Hill • $$

Channel Rome's golden hour without the transatlantic flight. From 5 to 7 PM, grab a Baby Negroni or spritz and $7 rotating bites of charcuterie and Roman snacks at the bar.

New York Happy Meal

New York Happy Meal

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.

Pasta Night

Pasta Night

November 7 at 11am (This weekend) +41

Pasta Night · Prospect Heights • $$

It's like having a gay nonna on Vanderbilt Avenue: giant plates of seasonal homemade pasta, meatballs the size of a baby's head, and drag nights that turn dinner into a party. Brunch brings hot honey pizzas and that same big family energy.

Happy Hour

Happy Hour

November 6 at 10pm +59

Metropolis · Manhattan • $$$

Skip the cramped FiDi bars and unwind in a stunning, spacious lounge with $10 cocktails and a live DJ spinning while you snack. The security screening at the door feels exclusive, and the Red Cornbread with goat's milk butter is worth the trip alone.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find smaller events in New York?

Look for a programme you connect with. Cherry Lane Theatre is a starting point for intimate theatre; NYC Resistor hosts workshops and craft nights where you can bring something you’re making. Tell me whether you’d rather watch, listen, or join in.

How much of New York should I try to cover in one evening?

I’d choose one main event and keep the rest nearby. Check the journey from where you’ll actually be, especially when crossing boroughs. Tell me your starting neighbourhood and how far you’re willing to travel, and I’ll use that to narrow the options.

How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?

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.

Do I need an account to use Outgoing?

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.

Is Outgoing free?

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.
