King Manor Museum · Jamaica
Dust off your mood ring and explore how America threw itself a 200th birthday party. This exhibition traces 1976 bicentennial fever through the era's wild material culture: commemorative beer cans, protest posters, funky fabrics, and school yearbooks that capture a nation wrestling with its own mythology.

Seven photographers take on one big question: what does it mean to be American today? Portraits of America answers with faces from every generation, culture, and corner of the country's evolving story.

An artist-run Queens collective turns five with three shows under one roof: group works in the main gallery, Sheila Ross's floor-to-ceiling "Blorbo" sculptures, and Maguy Berry's French countryside woodcuts.
November 1 at 6pm (This weekend) +5
Sculpture Space NYC · LIC
France Goneau's ceramic body ornaments probe how adornment shapes feminine power and mystique. Her delicate porcelain sculptures, finished in platinum and 24-carat gold, blur the line between jewelry and prosthesis: tiny talismans that feel pulled from some half-remembered dream.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
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.
