June 25, 2026

I've been trying to lower my screen time, and as a content manager, that's easier said than done. I need to be online for work, but I also dream about launching my phone into the Hudson every other day.

Book Club Radio Festival gets it. Their no-phones-on-the-dance-floor policy means two nights of being fully present instead of watching the show through someone else's screen. Enter to win tickets.

JUST ANNOUNCED

Fresh off a hit Off-Broadway run, Abby Govindan brings her sharp comedy hour to The Bell House tomorrow. Expect hilarious stories that hit a little close to home about growing up and breaking generational curses. Buy tickets.*
This Saturday, Peter Mulvey and Jenna Nicholls bring their project, Floyd Mercantile, to Cafe Wha? for an intimate evening of acoustic folk, harmonies, and storytelling. Secure a seat now.*
Jill Scott returns to Kings Theatre next month with her first new album in over a decade. Grab tickets or win your way in for a set of new music and beloved neo-soul classics.*
After six years away from U.S. stages, Icelandic singer-songwriter Ásgeir returns to Le Poisson Rouge next Tuesday with his new album Júlía. Grab tickets.*
Plus other just announced shows from Buddy Guy, Frog, Slothrust, Turnstile, Brand New, Pennywise, Wild Pink, Jai Wolf, Sleep, and more!

FREE OUTDOOR YOGA IN JULY

I'm in my self-care era, and maybe you should be too. I'm not here to push agendas, but I will absolutely recommend free yoga in the park. Mindful stretching and attempting Warrior III without hidden gym fees? That's a win.

MORE STUFF TO DO

“WORTH EVERY PENNY.”

People join DoNYC MORE for the free tickets. Then they realize they're going out more, finding new favorite venues, and saying yes to plans they would've skipped.

Five years later, that's still the magic of DoNYC MORE. We’re celebrating by giving you 12 months of experiences, perks, and member-only opportunities for just $50.

LOCALS ONLY

Can't score match tickets? You can still catch the action for free. NYC is hosting two free World Cup Watch Parties this Saturday in Central Park and Washington Heights.
The wait is almost over. Nando's is making its NYC debut with a limited-time SoHo pop-up serving free PERi-PERi chicken, exclusive bites, and ticketed World Cup events.
