Live Jazz and Gospel Brunch

October 24 at 7pm (This weekend) +41

Ginny's Supper Club · Harlem

A hidden basement supper club where gospel brunch Sundays turn into joyful singalongs with a live choir. The rest of the week brings jazz, soul food steakhouse fare, and a dance floor.

Happy Hours

Happy Hours

Every day

Hutong New York · Manhattan • $$$$

Seven hours of happy hour means no rush to snag a seat at this intimate art deco hideaway. Sip discounted cocktails alongside rotating dim sum and small plates that feel far fancier than their price tag.

Cork Wine Bar (Soho) · Manhattan • $$

Sunday evenings at Cork feel like slipping into a secret: live jazz, curated wines, and charcuterie boards in a warm Soho nook where time actually slows down.

The Hidden Pearl

The Hidden Pearl

October 26 at 5pm +59

The Hidden Pearl · Greenpoint • $$

Slip through a ramen shop and into a secret bar where Japanese spirits meet craft cocktails. The intimate space feels like stepping into another world, with skylights, creative garnishes, and bites that taste as thoughtful as they look.

Happy Hour

October 24 at 9pm (This weekend) +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.

Stephany Mora Live Music

October 28 at 8:30pm

Madame George · Midtown • $$

Descend into Madame George's candlelit basement, where Stephany Mora's live set soundtracks strong, creative cocktails and front-row intimacy. The bar team alone is worth the trip.

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.
