Events

  1. Reading Rhythms Lower Manhattan: April 23 (Celebrate World Book Day With Us!)

    6:30 PM · 12-16 Vestry St 4th Floor, New York, NY

    World Book Day is as good an excuse as any to let Reading Rhythms organize the early evening.

  2. GHOST WORLD Post-film conversation with filmmaker Terry Zwigoff and star Illeana Douglas

    6:30 PM · Film Forum

    A Ghost World screening with Terry Zwigoff and Illeana Douglas attached is an unusually generous Thursday option.

  3. Lila Raicek & Griffin Dunne

    7:00 PM · McNally Jackson, New York, NY

    McNally's better nights still feel like they belong to people who actually live here.

  4. Ragtime

    7:00 PM · Lincoln Center Theater

    This remains the cleanest big-theater booking of the night.

  5. Madame Infamy: A New Musical in Concert

    7:00 PM · Joe's Pub

    Joe's Pub is where a new musical still has permission to be strange.

  6. La Voix humaine with Barbara Hannigan

    7:30 PM · New York Philharmonic

    If you are taking the formal ticket tonight, take the one with some bite.

  7. Squirrel Nut Zippers: Jazz From the Back o' Town

    8:00 PM · Symphony Space

    This is the larger-room music pick with actual personality.

  8. Interpretations: Thomas Buckner & James Ilgenfritz

    8:00 PM · Roulette, Brooklyn, NY

    Roulette stays strong when it gives experimental music a clear frame.

  9. Whitney Biennial 2026

    All day · Whitney Museum

    The Biennial is still the default museum answer when you want the city looking back at itself.
