The three things you need to know today in New York: Tue March 13

1. The Low Road at the Public Theater is one of the best shows of the year so far, with five stars. The dark comedy is set in 18th-century America. 

2. Attend A Brief History of Irish Food at Brooklyn Brainery today. The historical lecture is the perfect thing to hear before Saint Patrick’s Day.

3. Battle of the Divas goes down at Union Hall tonight. This time, it’s Patti LaBelle versus Aretha Franklin, with hilarious commentary and presentations. 

For more events, check in with Time Out throughout the day.
