This October 18 is the 10th annual Global Champagne Day—yes, that’s a thing—and corks will be popping all over NYC in celebrations. Here are some choice selections, featuring Flûte, Air’s Champagne Parlor, Terroir Tribeca, and others.

Cocktail spots and wine bars are a dime a dozen below 14th Street, but a truly good happy hour is harder to come by. Don’t pay full price for drinks (or snacks) at these 15 downtown watering holes, offering very happy happy hours throughout the week.

Musicians and music lovers will want to check out Play It Loud: Instruments of Rock & Roll, opening at the Metropolitan Museum of Art April 8. When you see the sheer volume (some 130) of mind-blowing instruments that have been played by a cross- section of iconic musicians all tucked into one space, you soon understand why the Met is the appropriate location for such an exhibition. It's the first time a music exhibit of this magnitude has been presented, co-organized with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

In many ways, the brilliant Broadway revival of My Fair Lady at Lincoln Center’s Vivian Beaumont Theater is very much like the smash musical when it premiered on Broadway in 1956, starting with the plot.

New York's rock roots run deep—probably even more than you know. Pop open the cover of Rock and Roll Explorer Guide to New York City and you'll enter a series of scenes, times, and places that left a mark on culture around the world.

Comedy shows can be found all throughout the city, but rarely do you find an affordable show as authentic and fun as Casual Town. This weekly stand-up show is hosted, produced, and starred by a powerhouse comedy crew and really gives ‘underground comedy’ a whole new meaning. Casual Town occurs every Thursday in the basement of the unique and eclectic East Village karaoke bar, Sing Sing Avenue A, which serves $4 beer and well drinks and $3 well shots until 9pm. If you’re feeling extra feisty, you can pay $2 to sing karaoke at the bar for all of your fellow happy hour dwellers to enjoy.

I suspect the writers of The Play That Goes Wrong had a bit of trouble coming up with a name for their fabulously frenetic show. I mean, it could’ve easily been called “The Script That Goes Wrong,” “The Set That Runs Amok,” or “The Cast That Couldn’t Shoot Straight.” Still, in terms of comic genius, everything about the production is very, very right.

At this very almost-March moment, the megalopolis known as New York, New York is the most theatrically exciting city on the planet thanks to electrifying new productions, record-breaking musicals, long-awaited revivals, and high-profile celebs who make Broadway and Off-Broadway their home for a limited—or ongoing—run.

Thanks to a scorecard of white-hot shows laced with a jolt of celebrity voltage, Broadway is positioned to become a mega theatre mecca for January, 2018.
