Events

  1. How to Riso with Patrick Costello

    12:00 PM · Pioneer Works

    A risograph workshop at Pioneer Works is the sort of process-nerd daytime event that makes the city feel wonderfully specific.

  2. ALL FLEISCHER! ALL MUSICAL! Introduced by author and music critic Will Friedwald

    12:15 PM · Film Forum

    A themed Fleischer program with a live introducer is exactly the sort of curatorial oddity that feels richer than a standard matinee.

  3. Fireworks

    6:30 PM · Anthology Film Archives

    Anthology showing Fireworks is a deep-cut film move that makes sense on title, venue, and audience all at once.

  4. Earlybird Show

    6:30 PM · Ornithology Jazz Club, Brooklyn, NY

    An Earlybird Show at Ornithology has exactly the small-venue local-jazz specificity this list is meant to protect.

  5. Mass for the Dakota Sioux

    6:45 PM · Anthology Film Archives

    Mass for the Dakota Sioux reads like the kind of specialized screening somebody will tell you about years later.

  6. Monument

    7:00 PM · Anthology Film Archives

    Monument at Anthology keeps the film lane firmly in the downtown-cult pocket this list is supposed to serve.

  7. NYC Live and Dangerous Play the Music of Thin Lizzy

    7:30 PM · Berlin

    A Thin Lizzy-focused bill at Berlin has exactly the kind of niche classic-rock devotion that belongs here.

  8. HOT 100 Bingo - Alligator Lounge

    8:00 PM · Alligator Lounge

    Bingo built around the Hot 100 is a perfectly silly micro-format, which is why it works as a deep cut.

  9. Vinyl After Hours

    11:30 PM · Mezzrow, New York, NY

    Vinyl After Hours remains a perfect deep-cut closer because it privileges ears over spectacle.

  10. Jam Session Hosted By Kyle Colina

    11:45 PM · Smalls Jazz Club, New York, NY

    A late Smalls jam is still one of the city's best answers to what actual musicians do after the named sets end.
