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.
