Events

  1. Cloe Wilder: The Am I A Star? Tour with Matty Reynolds

    6:00 PM · The Wood Shop

    Cloe Wilder's Am I A Star? tour lands in a small-room lane that suits the question mark in the title.

  2. California Split

    6:00 PM · Low Cinema

    Low Cinema's California Split screening is the scruffy Altman gambling pick tucked below the bigger film calendar.

  3. Lectures on Tap - "The History of D&D: From Imagination to IP"

    6:30 PM · Williamsburg

    A bar lecture on D&D's trip from imagination to intellectual property is niche in a clean, useful way.

  4. DOWNSTAIRS: RIP Alternative Clothing Swap

    7:00 PM · Purgatory

    An alternative clothing swap in Purgatory's downstairs space is more local ritual than standard nightlife.

  5. Starcard, Seraphine's Cleaver, Childless

    7:00 PM · Night Club 101

    Night Club 101's Starcard bill has the small-band texture that disappears behind cleaner Bowery listings.

  6. EconLOL: An Economics-Themed Comedy Show

    7:00 PM · Caveat

    Caveat turning economics into a comedy premise is exactly the nerdy Monday specificity this list can use.

  7. Satan's Menagerie

    7:30 PM · Spectacle

    Spectacle's Satan's Menagerie slot gives the night a cult-film edge without leaning on the obvious repertory names.

  8. the FORT90 BROADCAST SYSTEM presents: FORT90 TV

    8:00 PM · Wonderville

    FORT90 TV at Wonderville sounds like a transmission from a homemade media universe, which is the point.

  9. Vinyl After Hours

    11:30 PM · Mezzrow, New York, NY

    Mezzrow's Vinyl After Hours is a quieter late-night jazz detour than another open mic or bar set.

  10. Jam Session Hosted By Adam Ray

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

    Adam Ray's late Smalls jam is the after-hours musician slot that keeps Monday from ending neatly.
