Shooting billiards at a pool hall in NYC is a worthwhile pastime for most New Yorkers—or, at least, it’s a surefire way to make drinking seem somewhat constructive. And since chugging brewskies at beer bars can be sort of, er, uneventful, it’s nice to know that there are so many drinking dens with games in NYC to keep us entertained. While some of the best bars come equipped with pinball machines or board games nowadays, the number of venues with pool tables—particularly in Manhattan—has been steadily dwindling for years. Luckily, we’ve assembled a list of the best pool halls in town, so when you feel like chalking up a cue stick, you’ll know where to take a dive.

In New York City, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find cocktails under $18 (let alone, cheap things to do)— the idea of spending the same amount on a mixed drink as you might on a main course is absolutely ludicrous.

Even if you haven't been to Chicago, you've likely heard of it: Alinea is one of the country's premier restaurants, a fine-dining institution that's won three Michelin stars, was dubbed the World's Best Restaurant by Elite Traveler—even beating New York's own fancy-plate powerhouses like Eleven Madison Park—and, yes, was featured on Hulu's The Bear. (That was head chef Grant Achatz hilariously giving Will Poulter's pastry chef Luca a hard time in the season three finale.)  And now, after two decades of molecular gastronomy greatness—we're talking helium-filled green-apple "balloons," slices of see-through pumpkin pie, fizzy lemon soda arriving in powered form inside a dissolving packet and that famous pop-in-your-mouth potato truffle "explosion"—Alinea is celebrating its big 20th anniversary by taking those avant-garde kitchen wonders on the road. And, yes, Achatz and co. will be spotting in New York.  This summer, the Alinea crew will be popping up at three restaurants in three different cities, "each holding a special place in our story," per the restaurant's website. First up on the list is Brooklyn's own Olmsted, which will reunite Achatz with Chef Greg Baxtrom, who was a member of Alinea's opening team. Serving up "a multi-sensory experience celebrating the imagination and innovation of the last 20 years and the future to come," the Alinea Brooklyn pop-up will take over the acclaimed Prospect Heights restaurant from Thursday, March 20 through Sunday, April 13.

Paul Simon helped kick off the big SNL50: The Anniversary Special this past Saturday night alongside Sabrina Carpenter for a special performance of "Homeward Bound," but, this summer, the legendary singer-songwriter will be stepping into the spotlight on his own with a brand-new tour. Fresh off that splashy Saturday Night Live appearance, Simon is coming back from retirement—he swore off live shows seven years ago following his supposed "farewell" tour—for this intimate "A Quiet Celebration Tour," which will hop around mid-sized theaters and concert halls around the country, starting from New Orleans in April and capping off in Seattle in August. The shows will highlight tracks from Simon's most recent record, his fifteenth studio album Seven Psalms, but will also pull from the 16-time Grammy winner's extensive, decade-spanning catalog. Here's when fans can expect Paul Simon to come to New York for not one, not two but five live shows.  When does Paul Simon come to NYC for his Quiet Celebration Tour? The first show of Paul Simon's mini NYC residency will be on Monday, June 16, followed by four other concerts on site: June 18, 20, 21 and 23. Where will Paul Simon perform in NYC for the A Quiet Celebration Tour Because this set of shows will be focused on an intimate, more acoustic-driven vibe, Simon is eschewing larger local venues like Madison Square Garden and MetLife Stadium for the Beacon Theatre on the Upper West Side.

UPDATE: November 19, 2024 Over a year after Mayor Eric Adams announced the opening of The Arches, a public space beneath the Brooklyn Bridge that was left unused for a decade, officials celebrated the debut of an additional portion of the destination. Until now used as a contractor staging area, the new space is about one third of an acre in size, home to 16 park benches and a vast array of trees, including oaks, elms and Japanese pagoda varieties. "Public space in Manhattan is precious—every acre counts for the people who live, work in, and visit our bustling metropolis," said Deputy Mayor for Operations Meera Joshi in an official statement. "Where better to continue to deliver peaceful, elevated public space than a stone's throw from Chinatown, in the shade of one of our city's most iconic landmarks, the Brooklyn Bridge." But there's more to come: according to an official press release, the largest sections of The Arches have yet to re-open, so brace yourselves for even more exciting debuts in the near future. -- Word of any new outdoor space in New York City is always a reason to cheer, especially when the digs are as iconic as this: just in time for its 140th birthday, the Brooklyn Bridge will welcome The Arches, a recreational space and community gathering spot set right beneath the landmark in Chinatown, located at the intersection of Rose Street and Avenue of the Finest.

You don't even need to set up an account to utilize the application, which grants user the ability to plug in their zip code (the app assures that it won't save your location data) and track down the nearest Mister Softee trucks in the area. “Looking for the popular Mister Softee ice cream truck?

A rite of passage for any beer-loving New Yorker, a trip out to Boardy Barn was one of the best, sloppiest things to do in the Hamptons each summer.
