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.
November 3 at 8pm
Union Hall · Park Slope • $0
Watch democracy do its thing at Brooklyn's favorite comedy-and-bocce hangout. Union Hall's basement screens the results while the bar pours stiff drinks and the crowd rides every twist together.

November 9 at 10pm
Union Hall · Park Slope • $12

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
