Are people who FaceTime while walking down the street literally insane?

Come cheer on Portugal at Time Out Market this summer! Time Out is partnering with FPF (Portugal Football Federation) to create a one-of-a-kind cultural celebration and fan experience at Time Out Market that you’re not going to want to miss. If you’re looking for an immersive way to experience the FIFA World Cup 2026 in NYC, then head to the Market for lively watch parties, cultural activations, live DJs and much more.

Starting this Wednesday, June 10, Time Out Market, Brooklyn will be transformed into the multi-sensory Portugal House where you’ll be able to not only watch the thrilling games live on June 17, 23 and 27 but also take in the best that Portuguese culture has to offer. 

Stop by the Market’s fifth floor pop-up, to experience a range of Portuguese wines, try delicious food specialities, pose for memorable photo ops, enjoy entertainment on the stunning terrace and compete in an interactive Portugal Match Quiz.

Fleet Week gets a supersized makeover from July 3–8 as New York City hosts International Naval Review 250, part of the nation’s big 250th birthday celebration. The expanded event will bring military vessels from around the world into New York Harbor, honoring members of the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine. Expect ship tours, demonstrations and special exhibitions across the city, offering a rare chance to step aboard working vessels and get an up-close look at maritime history in motion.

Jay-Z is coming home in a way only a New York icon could. The Brooklyn-born legend will take over Yankee Stadium for two massive summer shows celebrating the albums that made him a titan of hip-hop. Announced by Roc Nation, the back-to-back concerts—dubbed “JAŸ-Z 30” and “JAŸ-Z 25”—are set for July 10 and July 11, respectively.

Each night is dedicated to a different milestone. The first marks 30 years of Reasonable Doubt, Jay-Z’s 1996 debut that introduced his razor-sharp storytelling to the world, while the second celebrates the 25th anniversary of The Blueprint, his 2001 masterpiece that helped redefine the sound of modern rap.

The setting is as mythic as the music. Yankee Stadium has hosted its share of blockbuster concerts, but these shows feel especially personal. Jay-Z, born Shawn Carter in Brooklyn, has spent decades mythologizing the city in his lyrics, and his return for a career-spanning celebration at one of its most iconic venues lands as both a victory lap and a love letter.

Some movies are set in New York. Others are New York. On the Town belongs firmly in the second category. The beloved 1949 MGM musical starring Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Jules Munshin is returning to the city's waterfront for one night only with a free outdoor screening at The Battery next Wednesday, July 8.

Presented by the Downtown Alliance, the Battery Conservancy and Perelman Performing Arts Center, the screening is part of the Big Screen at the Battery summer series—and the setting couldn't be more fitting. The movie opens with three sailors arriving in New York Harbor for a whirlwind 24-hour shore leave and now, more than 75 years later, you'll be watching it just steps from where their adventure begins.

If you've never seen it, On the Town follows three Navy buddies determined to cram an entire New York vacation into a single day. Along the way, they race across the city, fall in love, dance through iconic landmarks and sing their way into movie history with "New York, New York.”

If you've ever wished you could eat Nom Wah dumplings with a craft beer in Greenpoint—or sip one of Dante's legendary Negronis without trekking to Greenwich Village—your oddly specific dream is about to come true.

Starting on Monday, July 6, Threes Brewing's Greenpoint outpost is launching a Summer Guest Series that will temporarily turn the brewery into a rotating lineup of some of New York City's most beloved restaurants and bars. Every Monday evening through August, a different hospitality heavyweight will take over the space, bringing its own menu, music, decor and staff for a one-night-only residency.

The series kicks off with Dante and New York Cocktail Co., followed by The Irish Exit on July 13 and Nom Wah on July 20. August's lineup includes Veselka (August 3), Chi Ba Bakery (August 10), Shifka (August 17) and Peter Luger (August 24). Each pop-up runs from 5–8 pm and is first-come, first-served, with specials available until they sell out.

Rather than simply dropping off a signature dish, each guest is actually taking over the brewery for the evening. Expect each partner's playlist on the speakers, custom menus in guests' hands and visiting teams working the floor. Cocktail-focused nights, including Dante and The Irish Exit, will feature signature drinks paired with dishes from Grand Army, Threes' in-house food partner. Food-focused evenings will spotlight each restaurant's specialties, paired with custom beer or cocktails.

Few summer traditions are as quintessentially New York as watching a movie beneath the stars with the Manhattan skyline glowing in the background. Brooklyn Bridge Park’s beloved Movies With A View series returns for its 26th season, bringing free outdoor screenings to Pier 1’s Harbor View Lawn on Thursday nights throughout July and August, plus a special family movie night in September. This year’s lineup will be Hamilton (July 2), When Harry Met Sally (July 9), Bend It Like Beckham (July 16), The Talented Mr. Ripley (July 23), Clueless (July 30), Jurassic Park (August 6), Do the Right Thing (August 13), Bridesmaids (August 20), Public Choice Screening (August 27) and How to Train Your Dragon (September 18). Bring a blanket, arrive early and settle in for one of the city’s most scenic movie nights.

Comedy festivals all promise big laughs, but only the Fun & Dumb Improv Festival delivers 200-plus shows, 750 performers and four days of what organizers describe as "the silly stupid good stuff." Returning July 9–12, the fifth annual festival takes over the Brooklyn Comedy Collective and neighboring venues in East Williamsburg with a dizzying lineup of improv, sketch, musical comedy and experimental performances. Expect appearances from some of the biggest names in alternative comedy alongside emerging performers from across the country, plus workshops for aspiring improvisers and late-night jams for anyone still standing. Whether you're an improv obsessive or simply looking for an excuse to spend an entire weekend laughing, this sprawling festival offers enough absurdity to keep you busy from morning until the wee hours.

Spend your Thursday nights by the Hudson at River & Blues, Battery Park City's beloved free concert series. Returning to Wagner Park on July 9, 16, 23 and 30, the waterfront tradition pairs sunset views with an eclectic lineup spanning New Orleans brass, country-soul and roots music. This year's performers include Grammy-winning New Orleans institution Rebirth Brass Band, powerhouse duo The War and Treaty, singer-songwriter Allen Stone and Amelia Day, with DJ collective A Vibe Called Blessed warming up the crowd each week. Doors open at 6:30pm, concerts start at 7:30pm and admission is free, though advance RSVP is encouraged.

Hockey player romance has us all in a chokehold, and we will never complain. For one night only, Club 90s goes full Off Campus at Webster Hall, giving us the dance break we all need to work off some of that pent-up aggression we all feel every time Hannah and Garrett or Allie and Dean lock eyes. Plus, our other favorite steamy hockey puckers aren't left out; there will be Heated Rivalry edits, as well. Grab your sticks and see you on the dance floor on Friday, July 10!

Art galleries can sometimes feel intimidating, but the Pancakes & Booze Art Show would rather hand you a stack of flapjacks and turn up the music. Headed to The Brooklyn Monarch on Thursday, July 9, this long-running underground art party brings together hundreds of emerging artists for a one-night-only celebration of creativity, community and carbs. Expect salon-style walls packed floor to ceiling with paintings, photography, mixed-media works and live art installations, plus DJs, live body painting and, yes, free pancakes served throughout the night. Ages 21 and over.
