The three things you need to know today in New York: Thu August 17

1. At 5pm in Union Square, you can watch the Dueling DJs event. The weekly activity pits musicians, dancers and singers against each other in a performance competition.

2. For tonight’s Summer Nights at the Staten Island Museum, there’s a solar eclipse party. There will be arts and crafts and scavenger hunts, and you get two drinks with your $25 ticket.

3. We found the five most delicious dishes at Chelsea Market. Head over to the indoor food destination to order these tacos, desserts and more.
