I have a problem where every time I leave my apartment, I'm either spending money, eating, or drinking. AKA, I need new hobbies, and I've already tried reading.

So I found something that might work, but you guys have to test-run it for me...

We're giving away FOUR tickets to Game of 1000 Boxes, an immersive live game show where you and your friends go head-to-head in trivia, quick-thinking games, and wild challenges. Enter to win on our IG, and please report back.

ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE HOLIDAY MARKETS

As my coworkers keep asking where to find cute holiday gifts, I've realized I've been gatekeeping a key part of the holiday season: NYC’s holiday markets! We've rounded up the best spots for gifts, festive treats, and a little shopping for yourself (obviously).

• 11/12 - 12/24 - Union Square Holiday Market

• 11/12 - 2/28 - Bryant Park Winter Village

• 11/14 - 12/24 - Holidays in DUMBO

• 11/20 - 12/24 - Welcome to Chinatown Holiday Market

• 12/1 - 12/31 - Columbus Circle Holiday Market

THIS WEEKEND

LOCALS ONLY

• Skip the cooking and cleaning and go straight to the eating! We've rounded up local restaurants serving Thanksgiving dinner, spots offering take-home feasts, and bakeries on dessert duty.

• Stream any artist's top songs right on DoNYC, and you'll know in thirty seconds whether they're worth getting off the couch for. Follow the keepers, and we'll holler the very second they're back in town. GTFO easier.
