I tried this for February, and it was generally well received.

There's at least one more month in me, and so I mapped out another month of concerts, events, and performances that showcase a city that has everything. I tried to listen to some of last month's feedback too and better diversify the types of events.

As before, I would love to hear what you think. Personally, I'm enjoying the treasure hunt that comes with assembling these. ...Is anyone actually using them?

I’m off work all of March so I’m def using this!

mesoliteball t1_j9x4q03 wrote

If anybody’s looking for particular recommendations: Svadba (on the 31st and 1st) and Cantori New York (on the 4th and 5th) are each going to be exceptional, like nothing you’ve heard (… literally, in the case of Cantori’s two premieres :)).

To OP: I used to do this for money so it’s very moving to see you doing it for pleasure and to help others

Well, since you brought up a Broadway play, I figured I'd mention this, Peter Pan Goes Wrong. I discovered the group via Youtube videos during the pandemic.

Thank you for doing this, but —

$125 for Seth Rudetsky on a Monday??? Good grief!

Edit for the downvoters: I love Seth Rudetsky but that is steep. It’s more than Broadway Backwards or Broadway Bares. If he can fill the seats and that’s his sweet spot for venue size x price, more power to him, but damn. Weirdly specific and poignant reminder that this city is merciless.

Does anyone remember the mid 2000s happy hour excel spreadsheet that used to get passed around? You could find awesome deals with that thing!

TimeOut magazine also used to be the place to get this kind of info but the internet obviously changed the way things happen.

Thank you for putting this together richarrizard

This is a great list, and like some other Redditors commented great variety. I'd like to add 1 item:

Where: Perrotin Art Gallery, 130 Orchard St, New York, NY 10002

When: March 3 to April 15

What: three new exhibits:

  • JR (my favorite, this alone is worth the trip IMO)
  • Nikki Maloof
  • Sophia Narrett

Link: https://www.perrotin.com/exhibitions/upcoming/new-york/4

P.S.: Redditors, please add your picks, I will be returning to this post again.

Wow amazing! Could you share some basic info on how you found all of these? I never know how to find events happening near me. What kind of sources did you use? Really appreciate the effort put into this :)

richarizard OP t1_j9ymd5o wrote

It's not easy!! My starting point is a very long list of bookmarked calendars that I go through one at a time. Then it becomes a giant Google Search problem, where I'm trying different dates, boroughs, and event types until I've got something for every day.

richarizard OP t1_j9ynwk0 wrote

YES - I'm a HUGE Broadway fan and tried to be extremely selective in which Broadway show I would call out. I also tried to have most of the events be free or at least affordable. (Though with lottery, rush, etc., it is certainly possible to see a Broadway show for much less than the default price on the ticketing site.)

In addition to Peter Pan Goes Wrong, there's also the currently-playing Off-Broadway Play That Goes Wrong.

And if I were to promote one more Broadway show for March, Dancin' begins previews on March 2. Personally I'm counting down the days to see that one!!

richarizard OP t1_j9yomhy wrote

I really wanted to include that, actually! The only issue was I was trying very hard to make sure every event was within the five boroughs of NYC. I love the idea of expanding what sports one can see being played professionally around here.

For anyone who wants a weekly list I’ve really enjoyed Art Hap. It used to be just a weekly email but they recently also created this website: https://www.arthap.com/

“We find every art exhibition opening in NYC in house, unlike any other art event app or website. If you want to know exactly what’s happening at every gallery in the city, look no further than Art Hap.”

I was told to take the Metro North train from Grand Central 4 stops to Pelham. The walk from the stadium is under 1 mile and passes pizza shops, bars, parks, etc...

I hear the new stadium is beautiful and should be worth the effort to get there.

This is a startup idea, you should create a website or something for locals and tourists alike to find things to do! Hopefully I will see my fellow nyc redditors at one of these events.
