November 11 at 10pm +59
Metropolis · Manhattan • $$$
Skip the cramped FiDi bars and unwind in a stunning, spacious lounge with $10 cocktails and a live DJ spinning while you snack. The security screening at the door feels exclusive, and the Red Cornbread with goat's milk butter is worth the trip alone.
November 13 at 1am +23
The Terrace · Manhattan • $$
Tucked behind a tailor shop in Harlem, this intimate bar comes alive Thursdays with smooth R&B and DJs spinning through the weekend. Sip craft cocktails on the adorable terrace while the vibe keeps you lingering past midnight.

Lavender Room Brooklyn · Bedford-Stuyvesant
Score $10 cocktails and half-price apps at this Afro-Caribbean lounge where mixologists pour balanced drinks in a space decked out with velvet booths and lavender accents.
November 14 at 11:30am (This weekend) +51
Hutong New York · Midtown • $68
Free-flow dim sum and bottomless bubbles meet flaming Peking duck at this swanky Art Deco brunch. The Northern Chinese menu leans celebratory: think truffle bao, Sichuan prawns, and a scene that's more party than quiet Sunday.
November 16 at 4pm +19
Grey Lady · Lower East Side • $$
This Lower East Side seafood spot serves a double cheeseburger and gin or vodka martini for $20 on Mondays and Tuesdays. Raw bar vibes meet throwback hip-hop and a crowd that knows a deal when they see one.

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.
