Best Websites for General NYC Entertainment Info
Try these for a wide variety of entertainment info — live music, clubs, theater, dance, cabaret — and searchable events calendars.
nyc.com. Highly recommended for all sorts of NYC info. Excellent events calendar, easy to browse and search.
nymag.com. Another favorite. Excellent search engine. Events calendar.
timeout.com/newyork. This one has a younger, hipper, artsy vibe. Also pick up a copy of the magazine when you’re in town.
villagevoice.com. Also pick up a copy of the magazine when you’re in town.
(Note: Like I mentioned on the “Bars” page, I’m a bit past the age of trendy velvet-rope “clubbing” and never was cool enough to even know about underground parties and the like, so you won’t find that information here. If you are younger and hipper, and eager to find a scene, try these sites: www.timeoutny.com, www.partythisweek.com, www.cutnyc.com, or www.joonbug.com.)
