Communities that were once driven underground and considered "niche" have blossomed and claimed their rightful spot in the city's entertainment ecosystem—Note the whirlwind success of Charli xcx's BRAT last year.  Whether it's a new Latin party about to take over one of the biggest club venues in the Lower East Side, a Black-centered festival in Brooklyn's Prospect Park, or a party celebrating 2001 downtown NYC club culture, there's no shortage of exciting parties going on this month.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a scholar of Trisha Paytas. Growing up on the cusp of two generations shaped in different but equal ways by the Internet, she became the blueprint for the type of Internet celebritydom everyone I knew was striving for: Being famous for being famous. I first learned about Paytas when I watched a viral clip of her reciting an excerpt from Hamlet in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for being the world’s fastest talker (she failed). Then she appeared on a TLC episode of My Strange Addiction, where she claimed to be addicted to tanning (“If you told me I had skin cancer… I would just scrape it off,” she infamously told a news anchor). She starred in Eminem’s “We Made You” music video and uploaded 7 Eleven muckbangs she filmed from her car, many of which have millions of views on YouTube. At one point, she came out as a non-binary drag queen, and released a Christian pop song called “I Love You Jesus.” She had a successful podcast called Frenemies that took off during the pandemic, and is now about to star in her own Broadway production, Trisha Paytas’ Big Broadway Dream. Her repertoire is an amalgamation of nonsensical statements and niche accomplishments strung together to create one impossibly complicated and captivating person.  And then, of course, there are the cancellations—lots of them. It turns out that saying everything that’s on your mind can make people angry, including working moms, queer people, Shane Dawson fans,

More than just another Lunar New Year celebration, Welcome to Chinatown will be hosting a weekend filled with fesitivities at the Brooklyn Banks, a public space under the Brooklyn Bridge that was closed for 15 years—until now. Throughout the weekend, the non-profit is celebrating small businesses from the neighborhood, so you can expect vendors like Fong On, Anna Ye Tea, Chinatown Social, The Bao Bae, The May Flower, and more. 

We can't stop thinking about Bad Bunny's latest album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, a heartfelt tribute to Puerto Rico. Head to SOB's downtown for a night of dancing to dembow and raggaeton all night, including, of course, plenty of Bad Bunny tracks. If you RSVP, entry will be free from 10pm till 10:30pm, but if you're a Nuyorican with a Puerto Rican lying around in your house, you'll get free entry at any point in the night if you bring your flag (RSVP still required). 

Soulection, an L.A. music collective that has its own radio show, record label, festival and clothing line, is celebrating its 14th birthday at the Knockdown Center at the end of February. Although we don't know who's on the lineup, we know it's going to be good—If you want to get a feel for their vibe, check out its YouTube channel.

Internationally renowned chef Lana Lagomarsini—who, by the way, was just announced as a contestant on the next season of Top Chef—is hosting a special pop-up event in celebration of Black History Month on Saturday, February 8. Expect a four-course tasting menu inspired by Georgia Gilmore, a culinary hero of the Civil Rights Movement. This intimate dinner will reinterpret Gilmore's underground supper club that once fed and funded the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The combination of history and delicious food will make this the perfect event for your brain and stomach.

For the duration of New York Fashion Week, Jacques Bar and Majorelle at The Lowell Hotel are paying tribute to some of the world's most legendary designers by offering drinks inspired by them. Each drink was carefully thought out in order to reflect the essence and personality of the designer, interpreting them into carefully crafted, aesthetically pleasing drinks. Expect a cocktail inspired by Coco Chanel, who was a famously a fan of champagne, as well as cocktails inspired by Christian Dior,  Yves Saint Laurent, Oscar de la Renta and others. 

Not even Charli xcx could have predicted the massive success of Brat last year, when she sold out Madison Square Garden on her joint tour with Troye Sivan. Now she's coming to Brooklyn for four consecutive nights from April 30 to May 4—this time by herself—for any of us who might have missed her the go around. The impact of Brat will likely be felt in the music industry for years to come, and we're excited to catch Charli perform our favorite songs in her post-Grammys glow.

With a more than eight decade-long run, Mary J Blige's career has stood the test of time, and she's showing her fans some love with a tour aptly named the "For My Fans Tour." Her concert at Madison Square Garden on April 10 will likely touch on most of the songs from her Gratitude album that came out in November 2024, but we're sure to get some of the biggest hits from her expansive career, too. She's taking the stage with other R&B icons NE-YO and Mario, so expect a full-on production. 

Billy Joel has one of the most iconic discographies of any artist in the modern era, and at 75 years old, he's still going strong. This year, the icon from Long Island is taking the stage with Rod Stewart at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx on July 18; the MetLife Stadium with Stevie Nicks on August 8; and then Citi Field with Sting on August 21. 

The Australian rock band formed in 1983, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, has cycled through many eras, and this might be one of their most iconic yet. Last year, they released their 18th studio album, Wild God, which topped the charts across Europe and was praised for its over the top and poisitive vibes. Catch them at the Barclays Center on April 17. 

Tyler, the Creator has lived many lives, and his latest album Chromakopia examines the artist's point of perspective on potential past timelines. Narrated by his mother Bonita Smith, the project is conceptual yet cohesive and is widely considered to be one of the best albums to come out of 2024. Lucky for New Yorkers, we'll be seeing a lot of Tyler in 2025: First in June, when he'll take on the stage at Gov Ball. But if you want the full Chromakopia experience, head to his solo concerts at Madison Square Garden on July 14 and 15, or the Barclays Center on July 27 and 28. 

Pull back the curtain of fashion week and learn about all the sweat, blood and tears that goes into organizing one of the most glamorous events in NYC. The 5 day pop-up experience, from February 9 to 13, at 21 Greene Street will include Q&As with designers, talks on how IMG models get scouted, interactive experiences, exclusive merch and more. The experience opens at 11am and guests will get access on a first come first serve basis. 

With the sad news of Paragon's imminent closure, we're trying to party at that iconic venue as much as humanly possible. The perfect function to support this month will be Dick Appointment's BOO2BOO, a night celebrating Black queer love in all its forms. On February 15, expect two different vibes across two rooms, with 12 DJs from around the world that will include Pressure Point, BERRAKKA, PINKYY, Funky Raggae House Party, and many others. For this special Valentine's meets Black History Month edition party, Dick Appointment wants you to "stay late and leave with a third."

Nick, Kevin, Joe: if this seemingly random sequence of names stirs something deep within your soul, we got some major news for you.  On March 23, you'll be able to finally set your inner child free at JONASCON, a giant festival celebrating the musical legacy of the Jonas Brothers at the American Dream Mall in New Jersey.  RECOMMENDED: A first look at NYBG's transportive Orchid Show that takes on Mexican Modernism this spring JONASCON will celebrate the 20th year anniversary of the Jonas Brothers with live performances, DJ sets, panels, activations, immersive experiences and surprise guest appearances.  Everyone who registers to JONASCON here will have first access to Jonas Brothers-themed events happening on March 22 and 23 in both NYC and at the American Dream Mall.  In anticipation of the celebrations, the iconic trio dropped a video on Instagram earlier this week to thank fans for their support throughout two decades. Check it out: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jonas Brothers (@jonasbrothers) If you thought the Jonas Brothers were over, you are so wrong. The brand released its biggest album to date, aptly called The Album, in 2023, which included hit singles "Waffle House" and "Wings." In 2024, the world tour in support of the album became their biggest yet, including sold-out shows at Yankee Stadium.  But the Jonases have been part and parcel of our culture for years, now, especially for those of us who grew up in the early 200

Wake up, another affordable housing lottery just dropped! This time, it's at a luxurious, highly-anticipated new development in Manhattan. Based on the renderings and information we have so far, the new building, Maison78, is set to feel like a giant hotel, with every amenity you could possible hope for. Even NYC Housing Connect, which lists the lotteries, has called it its “most-anticipated.” Here's everything you need to know about the building, and how to snatch a unit for an affordable price.  RECOMMENDED: 9 tips and tricks on how to win an affordable housing lottery in NYC Where is it? Maison 78 is located at 356 East 78th Street in the Upper East Side, about a 10 minute walk from the 72nd Street Q train. What units are available? There are 45 newly-constructed units available under the affordable housing lottery, which includes eight studio apartments, 14 one-bedroom apartments, and 23 two-bedroom apartments.  How much do they cost? The most affordable units are for families earning 75% of the Area Median Income. Studios will cost you $1,828, and one-bedroom apartments will cost you $1,954 if you make between $66,995 and $76,090 per year. The two-bedroom apartments are going for $4,434 for a two-person household making between $152,023 and $161,590 annually. Prices vary depending on how much you make and how many people you're planning to live with, so make sure to check NYC HousingConnect for the exact numbers. What else do we know about this building? This buildi

At this point, we should all know that there would be no gay rights or Pride without trans activists. Whether it was Marsha P. Johnson, who rioted at Stonewall, or contemporary icons like Qween Jean and Cecilia Gentili, trans people have long been at the forefront of every movement for queer dignity. Even so, the current administration has made it abundantly clear that they’re set on erasing trans people from our history. Their latest affront to the LGBTQ+ community came this morning, when the National Park Service removed all mention of trans people from The Stonewall's website.  RECOMMENDED: Here’s how to spend a day in Black-owned Bedford-Stuyvesant If you visit the Stonewall’s website now, “LGBTQ+” has been shortened to “LGB,” effectively eliminating any references to trans people. “Through the 1960s almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was a violation of law, rule or policy,” the website reads. “New York City’s prohibitions against homosexual activities were particularly harsh.” Previously, the website mentioned the role that trans people had played in the queer liberation movement. According to the New York Times, the Park Service’s public affairs department was taking “actions to carry out an executive order signed by President Trump on his first day in office that was described as 'restoring biological truth to the federal government.’” The changes were made without consulting or previously alerting the people who are on the g

「ONE PIECE」や「NARUTO -ナルト」、さらには「パックマン」のファンなら見逃せない情報が届いた。 これらのブランドを含む数多くのライセンスを手がける日本の大手企業が、2025年2月28日（金）、ニューヨーク・ブルックリンのインダストリアルシティに、アメリカ初の直営店「Bandai Namco Cross Store Brooklyn, New York」をオープンすることになった。 この出店は、2023年8月にオープンしたロンドン・カムデン店の成功を受けたもの。日本やイギリスの既存店舗と同様に、この新店舗も没入型のリテール体験を提供する場となり、販売商品に加え、クレーンゲームや「ガシャポン」など多彩なコンテンツを備えるという。 さらに「ガシャポンバンダイオフィシャルショップ」「MegaHouse Official Store」「ONE PIECEカードゲーム 公式ショップ」など、さまざまなブランドショップの限定商品も購入可能。中でも「たまごっちのおみせ」のアイテムには心が躍る。懐かしい思い出がよみがえること間違いなしだ。 広大な店舗空間には、ブランドごとの小規模な「ショップ」が多数設けられ、それぞれがコレクターズアイテムやカードゲーム、フィギュアなど、日本へ行かなければ手に入らないような商品を販売する。 バンダイナムコアミューズメント・アメリカの社長兼最高経営責任者（CEO）であるジョン・マッケンジーは、「ブルックリンのこの新店は、消費者、ファン、プレイヤーのみなさまに向けて、当グループの多彩な商品とサービスを紹介する絶好の機会となるでしょう」と語っている。 バンダイナムコがアメリカ展開の新拠点に選んだのは、インダストリアルシティ内の「ジャパンビレッジ」。近年急速に発展し、日本の文化・食・ショッピングの拠点として知られるようになったこのエリアには、日本食材を扱うスーパー、手頃な価格の雑貨店「ダイソー」、漫画やフィギュアを扱う「ブックオフ」、茶室、さらには気軽に食事を楽しめる店が数多く並ぶ。また、日本の酒の魅力をニューヨーク中に広めることを使命とする「Brooklyn Kura」のテイスティングルームへも、徒歩すぐの距離だ。 関連記事 『Japanese entertainment giant Bandai Namco is opening its first U.S. store at Industry City（原文）』 『日本文化を世界に向け発信するために必要なこと』 『2025年の「ベストシティ50」発表、東京は31位』 『東京、2から3月に行くべきビンテージマーケット5選』 『大阪がランクイン、ニューヨーク・タイムズが2025年に行くべき街を発表』 『ニューヨークの名物料理12選』 東京の最新情報をタイムアウト東京のメールマガジンでチェックしよう。登録はこちら  

If you’re a fan of One Piece, Naruto or even Pac-Man, mark your calendars: the Japanese conglomerate that licenses those brands and many others is going to open its first-ever U.S. retail store at Industry City on February 28.  Bandai Namco’s Brooklyn debut is coming at the heels of the success of its store in Camden, London, which opened in August 2023. Like its other locations across Japan and the U.K., the new latest Namco will be an immersive retail experience that will include merch for sale, claw machine games, gashapon machines and much more. RECOMMENDED: Here’s how to spend a day in Black-owned Bedford-Stuyvesant Fans will be able to buy exclusive merchandise from brands including Gashapon Bandai Official Shop, MegaHouse Official Store, One Piece Card Game Official Shop and many others. I’m personally most excited for the Tamagotchi Shop, which is definitely going to bring back plenty of childhood memories. The sprawling new Brandai Namco space will feature plenty of smaller “shops” for the different brands and franchises and each will sell collectibles, card games, figures, and other items that you'd usually have to travel to Japan to get your hands on. “Our Brooklyn location will provide our Group with a wonderful opportunity to show our compelling range of products and services for consumers, fans and players alike,” said John McKenzie, President and CEO of Bandai Namco Amusement America.  Photograph: Courtesy Bandai Namco   Photograph: Courtesy Bandai Namco  

We don't know about you, but we're very much over this cold. Luckily, one of our favorite airlines, JetBlue, is celebrating its 25th birthday this week and offering New Yorkers some pretty special deals to some very warm places.  From now until February 14, you'll be able to hop on a JetBlue flight from New York to several different islands throughout the Caribbean starting at a very humble, very affordable, $79 one-way. RECOMMENDED: A first look at NYBG's transportive Orchid Show that takes on Mexican Modernism this spring If you're trying to take advantage of the deal, there are some catches, of course: You have to book your flight before February 14 at 11:59pm and be willing to travel between February 25 and June 11 during a weekday, since Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are excluded from the sale. The deals also don't apply if you wanted to travel between April 10 and April 29, which tends to be the busy spring break season for airlines.  As of this writing, we're seeing $79 one-way trips from JFK to Barbados; $99 one-way trips from JFK to Belize City, Belize and Aguadilla, Puerto Rico; $139 one way flights from JFK to Antigua; $125 one way flights from JFK to Aruba; and many more. Check out JetBlue's deals page for the full rundown of deals available right now.  If you haven't heard, JetBlue also recently announced new routes from Long Island's MacArthur Airport—located about an hour from midtown Manhattan—to sunny Fort Lauderdale starting in April.  Who needs therapy whe

This just in: Right in time for Valentine's Day, we're getting data-backed confirmation that dating in New York absolutely sucks.  At least that's according to Time Out's latest global survey, in which we asked 18,500 city folk what they thought about their dating lives, specifically how easy it was to find love in their respective cities. Let's just say the dating situation for New York is not looking cute.  RECOMMENDED: The best things to do for Valentine’s Day in NYC The survey asked thousands of people if they thought finding love in their city was easy. Out of the worst cities for finding love, New York came in fifth place, tying L.A., with a meager 26% of locals proclaiming they felt it was easy to find love.  If you don't live in New York, you might be confused—There are millions of people here, and probably just as many ways to meet strangers. We're chalking it up to the apps and the fact that having so many "options" means we're constantly looking for the next hottest person. Whatever the real reason is, it probably doesn't say anything good about us.  The good news is that New York didn't come in first—that dishonor was given to the Spanish city of Bilbao, where just 14% of inhabitants said it was easy to find love. Tokyo came in second, where 21% of people found their love lives easy. Hong Kong came in third, at 23% and Marseilles, France came in fourth, with just 25% of locals being satisfied with their love lives.  But if one thing is true about New Yorkers, is t

“Out Late” is Time Out’s nightlife and party column by DJ, Whorechata founder and Time Out New York Culture Editor Ian Kumamoto, and is published every other Tuesday. The previous edition was about the NYC parties shaping a new Arab American identity. Throughout the 2010s, DJs like Tiësto, Diplo and Avicii were selling out stadiums and reaching levels of celebrityhood rivaled today only by the likes of Taylor Swift. They cemented the image of successful DJs as cool, straight white dudes who pumped their fists and jumped up and down in front of seas of fans. And then 2020 happened, which brought with it a massive cultural shift in American cities like New York. The protests for George Floyd led to a reckoning that too many talented artists had been kept from opportunities simply because they didn't have the right connections. On a microlevel, that awareness became clear in Bushwick's nightclubs: More and more women and Black DJs began to populate lineups, further fueled by an ecosystem of Black-centered parties like Everyday People, Dick Appointment, Raw Honey and many others.  Today, we're finally starting to see the fruits of that movement—so much so that a huge part of Brooklyn's club scene is driven by Black artists like Honey Bun, Bodegaparty and Dada Cozmic, who came up at a time when they were encouraged to challenge the status quo and empowered to create the nightlife spaces they wanted to see. They also represent a new generation of DJs fueled by the awareness that ho

Several recent studies have confirmed that Queens is home to the most sought after neighborhoods in New York right now, which means that it probably won't be too long until the cost of living in the borough will hit Brooklyn price levels.  If you want to get ahead of the competition, a new affordable housing lottery just opened in the heart of Long Island City, which continues to be one of the fastest growing areas in the borough. Here's what you need to know about the building, if you qualify and how to apply.  RECOMMENDED: This viral pizza shop is giving $1 slices this weekend Where is it? The new development is located at 25-01 Queens Plaza North, just outside the subway station that services the 7, N and W trains.  What units are available? A total of three studio apartments, 107 one-bedroom apartments and 16 two-bedroom apartments available.  How much do they cost? The monthly fees are around $3,416 for a studio, and you have to make anywhere between $117,120 and $141,310 as a one-person household to qualify. One bedrooms come in at $3,653 per month, and a single person household has to earn between $125,246 and $141,310 to qualify. Two bedroom apartments are $4,366, and you have to earn between $149,692 and $161,590 to qualify. Keep in mind that all financial qualifications vary based on how many people belong to your household. What else do we know about this building? Amenities are becoming increasingly important for New Yorkers and this building has no shortage of

Twenty twenty-five was slated to be an iconic year for the Brooklyn Museum—the institution is celebrating its 200th anniversary, for which it planned an entire year of special events and an expansion to some of its spaces. Now, the status of those celebrations is no longer clear: over the weekend, the museum announced it would lay off several employees and cut back on its exhibitions due to a $10 million budget deficit.  RECOMMENDED: Severance season 2 filming locations that New Yorkers can visit “We cannot continue to operate with the growing deficit we are carrying. No organization can continue in this way,” said Brooklyn Museum director Anne Pasternak at a meeting on Friday morning, per Artnet. The cuts will also involve laying off 10% of the museum's staff. Aside from the deficit, the Brooklyn Museum also cited inflation-related issues that have increased the institution's costs. Unfortunately, the funding that the museum receives has not kept up with the growing trend. Pasternak also added that the museum would cut the number of the exhibitions held each year from approximately 12 to 9, or a 25% reduction. It's not yet clear if any of the exhibitions that have already been announced will be affected by these cuts.  While Pasternak noted that the museum's weekday events will be reduced, weekend programming will increase—which means that if you're a fan of the iconic First Saturdays happenings, for example, you will continue to be able to attend them.  The news of the cuts

If you've been on TikTok or Instagram at any point in the past few years, then you've definitely seen Subway Oracle on your feed: sporting a red durag, his videos usually start with a POV of him running up to someone at a subway station before stopping them to ask random, chaotic and sometimes downright crazy questions. In a recent video, he stops a commuter frantically, as if for an emergency, only to ask him, "Are tortas taking over the world?" If that didn't translate in written form, it's not meant to. The nonsensical videos capture the essence of New York's subways, which, like Subway Oracle, are disorganized, frustrating and perpetually frazzled. It reminds us that everyone else in the city is also a little bit insane.  We went to La Noxe, a bar located inside a subway station, and sat down with Morris Cordewell—yes, that's his government name—to ask the 24-year-old prankster what he's learned from years spent trolling the subway.  RECOMMENDED: A baby Silvered Langur was just born at the Bronx Zoo View this post on Instagram A post shared by Time Out New York (@timeoutnewyork) How did Subway Oracle come about? “I started by doing prank videos online. Then me, Drew and David [his co-producers] made Subway Oracle, which was inspired by a segment from a longer show they had. We started with predicting people's futures on the train.” Do you ever get anxious when you run up to people? “I do get nervous, especially in big crowds. Sometimes people recognize me

Move aside, Moo Deng: There's a new adorable baby animal infiltrating our feeds, and it ain't hippo-shaped. A rare baby Silvered Langur, which is a primate native to Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia, was born at the Bronx Zoo in November, and is finally ready to be seen by visitors.  RECOMMENDED: This is officially the most romantic restaurant in NYC in 2025 You'll be able to easily spot the new baby langur at the zoo's JungleWorld exhibit—compared to they're grey counterparts, baby langurs are bright orange up until they're about three to five months old, which means you only have a few more weeks to see this baby in its full golden splendor.  Getting to see these animals IRL is a real privilege: silvered langurs are classified as "vulnerable" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), mainly due to rampant habitat loss in their southeast Asian home.
