Bring your friends (or come by yourself- most people do!) and spend your Tuesday night at an event where you know everyone else is there for the same reason.

Radio City Nocturne!

Radio City Nocturne!

Sat, Oct 24, 11:00 PM
From Painting the City
4.9

Radio City Music Hall lights up brilliantly at night and we're going to take advantage of that with a weekend nocturne. This is also a special event because this is my last event before I have a newborn in my life (surprise!). November's events will necessarily be, uh, probably non-existent. Don't write me off fully! But I will obviously need to take some time to create a routine with my new tiny roommate that can accommodate plein air painting sessions again. Our meeting point will be at 7pm across 50th st from Radio City Music Hall, against the Warby Parker. Check in with me on-site so I know who's attending, and then we'll disperse to our individual painting spots. At 2pm, we'll meet back up to show off our art and discuss the day. Gather your materials (watercolor, oils, gouache, acrylics, marker: all are welcome) and join with other artists for the joys and challenges of painting outside!

Millennial Skip the Small Talk: Make Friends, Not Small Talk

From !!NY Singles!! Professionals & Friends. Discover New York!!!

**###PLEASE NOTE: Even if you RSVP on Meetup, you will need to grab a ticket here https://www.skipthesmalltalk.com/store/millennial-skip-the-small-talk-night-at-lizs-book-bar-tuesday-november-3-2026 in order to attend###** This event is cross-posted so Meetup RSVPs won't accurately reflect the actual number of attendees; typically there are around 30-40 people in attendance. Folks in this Meetup group get **10% off**! Use code: **MEETUP** at checkout. **What's It Like?** We've all heard that making friends is hard, loneliness is an epidemic, and the internet is making us all forget how to be humans. So let’s ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING about it and talk to other human beings! You’ll pair up with the other nice people who showed up, and you’ll switch off partners every so often (kinda like speed-dating, but without the speed and without the dating). We'll have a fabulous host leading the whole shebang so it won't be awkward, and we'll give you question cards to guide conversation just a few notches deeper than you'd usually go so you don't accidentally talk about what you do for work six times in a row. And don’t worry… the questions aren’t going to trick you into trauma-dumping and aren’t just variations on “If you could have dinner with anybody dead or alive, who would it be?” They’re designed to actually help you feel connected to people, so they’re stuff like, “In what ways are you different from the person you were five years ago? In what ways are you the same?” And, “If you could give your 10-year-old-self one piece of advice (after stock tips and lottery numbers and that kind of stuff), what would it be?” And if you don’t vibe with any question for any reason, you can always just pick another one! Feel free to come alone (most people do-- we promise we won't make it weird for you) or bring a friend! There will be drinks and snacks for sale! **There is a 2 drink/food item minimum purchase for this event,** so please keep that in mind. **Check-in** for this event will begin around **6:45 pm**. Please do your best to arrive before 7:00 pm so we can begin as close to on time as possible. Skip the Small Talk is dedicated to providing an inclusive, welcoming environment for everyone. Check out our safety policy here: tinyurl.com/ststSafety Please see our event [page](https://www.skipthesmalltalk.com/store/millennial-skip-the-small-talk-night-at-lizs-book-bar-tuesday-november-3-2026) for more accessibility info. We tend to sell out in advance in most of our cities, and it bums us out when we have to turn away people at the door, so if you’re interested, PLEASE **[grab a ticket](https://www.skipthesmalltalk.com/store/millennial-skip-the-small-talk-night-at-lizs-book-bar-tuesday-november-3-2026)** as soon as you find a date that works for you! **Want to stay in the loop for future events?** If you want to be the first to hear about our events before we sell out, you can join our **[non-spammy mailing list here](https://sendfox.com/skipthesmalltalk)**.

Gotham Go Group - Tuesdays at the Hungarian

Gotham Go Group - Tuesdays at the Hungarian

Tue, Nov 3, 10:00 PM
From Gotham Go Group
4.8

Every Tuesday evening from 5 - closing. All are welcome, from beginners to pros. We usually have 8-15 players show up. This is a casual coffee house environment so don't expect a Go tournament kind of silence, but rather a din of conversation that is probably the vanguard of intellectual New York. Absolutely free, it costs nothing to play, and there is nothing to join. But PLEASE do get a drink, dessert or both to support the good folks at the Hungarian Pastry Shop who so graciously allow us to use their storied and humble space. We have some boards and stones, but it never hurts to bring your own.
