Dates

Sections

Events

  1. Gabrielle Stravelli Trio

    6:00 PM · Mezzrow, New York, NY

    This is the smoothest early-evening reset on Tuesday.

  2. The Jazz Gallery At Sea: Wayne Tucker Trio

    6:30 PM · The Jazz Gallery, New York, NY

    The Jazz Gallery keeps making early sets feel like they matter.

  3. Science on Screen: Her

    7:00 PM · Symphony Space

    A movie paired with an idea still feels better here than a standard repertory booking.

  4. Ragtime

    7:00 PM · Lincoln Center Theater

    The Tuesday theater slot is still this one if you want something bigger without going generic.

  5. Phantom Thread

    7:00 PM · Paris Theater

    This is the cleanest film choice on the board if you want something exacting but not dutiful.

  6. CULTURE ALL MEMORY - Steve Lehman - David Virelles - Chris Tordini - Eric McPherson - Set 1

    7:30 PM · Close up

    A lineup this dense deserves the smaller room.

  7. Brad Mehldau Trio

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

    Mehldau at the Vanguard is still a straightforward yes.

  8. Paul Pinto: Octet Performed by Bergamot Quartet and The Rhythm Method

    8:00 PM · Roulette, Brooklyn, NY

    Roulette is exactly where a hybrid ensemble night like this comes into focus.

  9. James Carter Presents: TRANE: A CENTENNIAL SUPREME! with Special Guest Steve Turre

    8:00 PM · Blue Note Jazz Club

    If you want the most overtly event-sized jazz ticket, this is it.

  10. Whitney Biennial 2026

    All day · Whitney Museum

    The Biennial remains worth keeping in the frame when you need one all-day institutional option.
