This Week in New York City

This is the seven-day slice of everything we track, sorted by date. Two things make it different from a raw calendar export. First, recurring events are placed on their actual next occurrence — so Bryant Park's noon juggling shows up today if today is a weekday, MoMA's UNIQLO Friday Nights lands on Friday, and the Billion Oyster Project's Tuesday-to-Saturday volunteer shift lands on each of those days — rather than sitting on whatever date they were first entered. Second, nothing here was scraped from a venue's marketing page: each listing was read by a person off the venue's own calendar, and the price shown is the one printed there. The one automated feed we use is NYC Parks' own open data, and those still go past a reviewer.

If you are looking for something specific, the narrower pages are faster: free events for anything with no ticket, workshops & classes for pottery, glass, weaving and printmaking, volunteer & cleanups for shoreline and garden days, live music, film and family events.
