Events

  1. GatherNYC: Poeisis Quartet

    11:00 AM · Museum of Arts and Design

    A Sunday-morning quartet at MAD is a more elegant reset than the usual brunch sprawl.

  2. The Gold Rush

    2:30 PM · Symphony Space

    A Symphony Space matinee for The Gold Rush feels like the kind of old New York cultural plan people forget to make.

  3. Quicksand 'Manic Compression' Talk + Signing

    2:45 PM · Rough Trade NYC

    Rough Trade talks only work when the artist actually has a scene around them, and Quicksand still does.

  4. Ragtime

    3:00 PM · Lincoln Center Theater

    If you are spending the theater slot on something large this weekend, this is still the one with the most gravity.

  5. South African Freedom Day!: Keenan Ahrends Quartet with Elio Vilafranca

    5:00 PM · Dizzy's Club - Jazz at Lincoln Center

    This one carries real occasion, and the late-afternoon Dizzy's slot makes it feel more like an event than just another set.

  6. Helix! Music by Rutgers Composers + Anne Cawrse, David Lang, Julia Wolfe & Viet Cuong

    6:00 PM · Le Poisson Rouge

    This is the more interesting downtown music pick if you want something contemporary without sliding into generic new-music piety.

  7. The Quack Medicine Interactive Show @ The Museum of Interesting Things

    6:30 PM · Lofts at Prince

    A title this odd in a loft setting is usually a sign that the evening will be more memorable than polished.

  8. Works & Process Presents In the Folds of Her Purple by Xin Ying In partnership with Onassis ONX and PS21

    7:00 PM · Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

    Works & Process at the Guggenheim is one of the better ways to catch performance work before it gets sanded down for a larger run.

  9. Fantastic Planet

    7:15 PM · Metrograph

    Metrograph with Fantastic Planet on a Sunday night is enough to justify giving the film slot real estate.

  10. Brad Mehldau Trio

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

    Brad Mehldau at the Vanguard is still the cleanest Sunday night plan if you want the city to feel fully switched on again.
