Dates

Sections

Events

  1. Labyrinth: 40th Anniversary Screening

    12:30 PM · Museum of the Moving Image

    A weekend matinee with this much built-in affection is an easy yes.

  2. The World Famous Harlem Gospel Choir

    1:30 PM · Blue Note Jazz Club

    This is the rare daytime ticket that still feels like a live crowd event, not filler.

  3. Ragtime

    3:00 PM · Lincoln Center Theater

    The matinee works if you want the bigger theater slot without giving away the night.

  4. ND/NF Shorts Program II

    3:30 PM · Film at Lincoln Center

    New Directors/New Films remains one of the best ways to catch the city paying attention in real time.

  5. Tad Shull Quartet

    4:30 PM · The Django, New York, NY

    The Django is at its best when it gives the afternoon some shape.

  6. Swing Kids (10 Years of the Chain) w/ Fatboi Sharif, Trace Amount & More

    6:00 PM · Elsewhere

    A Chain anniversary bill like this has enough edge and memory to justify crossing the river.

  7. Matt Chertkoff Trio

    7:30 PM · The Django, New York, NY

    A Django trio set is one of the cleaner ways to hold onto the evening after an earlier film or matinee.

  8. Gilad Hekselman

    8:00 PM · Village Vanguard, New York, NY

    Hekselman is the most reliable way to keep Saturday night from diffusing.

  9. Ritt Momney

    8:00 PM · Music Hall of Williamsburg

    This is the stronger club-room pick if you want something current without going bland.

  10. Whitney Biennial 2026

    All day · Whitney Museum

    The Biennial is still worth keeping in the mix when you want one big institutional stop that actually says something.
