Either way, grab your green attire, belt your favorite Irish songs and bust out a limerick—St. Patrick’s Day in NYC is going to be a blast this year!

Growing up, the sandwich was in constant rotation. A shelf-stable sandwich was a constant cast member in my brown bag lunch, from the reliable turkey with a squirt of mustard to the simple yet satisfying peanut butter and jelly variety, all of which was prepared by my loving mother. But as I've grown, so has my imagination as to what I can slide between two halves of bread.  The mighty sandwich is really a vehicle for all. Carnivorous appetites call for hunks of brisket and barbecue to pastrami-stacked creations. Yet sandwiches sprouting with veggies and vegetarian-forward ingredients can be just as satisfying if not more. And no matter what, a sandwich beats a sad desk salad, any day. When the hankering calls for a carb-laden lunch (or breakfast or dinner, we don't care), thumb through this list and discover your new favorite sub. Editor's note: We removed Bonafide Delicatessen and Cafe, Ciao, Gloria, Henry Public and Rowdy Rooster. We added Bark Barbecue, Calyer, Daily Provisions, Ends Meat, Ollin, Win Son Bakery and The Bonnie.  RECOMMENDED: The 25 most spectacular sandwiches in the world

New York City is full of free outdoor art that you don't even have to go to a museum to see. Sculptures, murals and photographs can be found in its parks, sidewalks and on its buildings!

Everyone knows Queens, NY is a rapidly growing borough with Long Island City leading the way with so much new construction, from new apartment buildings with retail below to new hotels. LIC is not just convenient—one stop on the subway from Manhattan—but it's bustling!  RECOMMENDED: Full guide to the best hotels in NYC Locals and visitors alike are drawn to LIC's trendy bars and restaurants, thriving comedy clubs, waterfront parks and art museums like the Noguchi.  The rewards for overnighting in Long Island City and Astoria include access to eight subway lines (N, W, R, F, M, 7, G, E) for easy trips to other boroughs, a 5- to 20-minute commute to Manhattan, and tremendous value. But the best reasons to choose a hotel here are the neighborhoods themselves. Eat your way through the best Long Island City restaurants and take in cultural institutions like MoMA PS1. And don’t miss nearby Astoria’s bars and beer gardens. February 2025: The Paper Factory & Z NYC Hotel are now closed.

If you recognize the inside of this Long Island City institution, that's because it was heavily featured in the Jennifer Lopez film, Hustlers. Show Palace feels notably less stuffy than strip clubs in Manhattan, and it lauds its own gaudy inside, which is decorated by "majestic chandeliers, bronze railings, plush carpeting, and granite accents." Poles tower over the main stage and reach the ceiling, making aerialists of the girls who work there. Our favorite detail is the neon quote plastered on one of its walls, attributed, unexpecetdly, to Maya Angelou: "I did work in a strip club, but I didn't strip," it reads. "I danced, and I became very popular."

Colombian artist J Balvin has been key in spreading raggaeton and Latin dance music globally. With six Latin Grammys under his belt and dozens of hits—including Mi Gente, In da Getto, and many others—J Balvin's cultural impact is inescapable. Catch him in concert on March 30 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn for a concert that's sure to shake the stadium. 

JoJo became a global phenom when she released her debut single "Leave (Get Out)" in 2004 at just 12 years old. Just as she was set to take over the music world, disputes with her label delayed—and some argue, ruined—any possibility of her future stardom. JoJo refused to give up music, though, and she just released an album in January 2025 called NGL, this time with an entirely new album. We were all rooting for her, and now we can do so in person at Terminal 5 on March 29. 

Peggy Gou's bold approach to house and techno music first got the club world's attention in 2019 when she dropped her highly addictive EP playfully blending English with Korean, "Starry Night." Then, in 2024, her song "Nanana" broke the Internet once more, cementing her as arguably the world's top DJ and producer. Catch her at the Brooklyn Mirage on Sunday, May 18, starting at 6pm for what's sure to be a high energy set, with music from her debut album, I Hear You.

Spain-raised and Berlin-based club producer and performer Sarah Sommers is what you get when you mix high femme aesthetics with hardcore grunge. On March 15, she's landing in the U.S. for the first time and once she's here, she's headed straight to The Chocolate Factory. She will be playing among other icons, including one of our favorite New York DJs, Honey Bun, and Julianna Huxtable who will B2B with Jasss. Expect an unforgettable night of techno, club and disco with energy so high it's sure to burst through the factory roof. 

GloRilla is beloved for her lyrical prowress just as much as she is for her Memphis drawl, and although we've loved her for years, she just released her first album, Glorious, last year. Now, she's going on tour and making a stopover at Hammerstein Ballroom on March 19. The best part? The tickets are relatively affordable, at a cool $126 for floor tickets as of this writing.

When Lizzo took over the music industry in the late 2010s, many knew she'd be a force to be reckoned with: Not only was she an iconic lyricist, but her mean flute skills were a refreshing addition to the self seriousness of many pop stars at the time. Lizzo dropped her fifth and latest studio alubm, Love in Real Life, in February and is returning to the stage for the first time since 2023. Catch her at Irving Plaza near Union Square on March 16. 

With the imminent closure of Paragon, we're trying to enjoy every last event the iconic venue is having in its final month. If you choose one Paragon party to, you might do well to go to Dance Planet on March 8, which will feature the techno, Latin and hyperpop sounds of DJ g2g, Goth Jafar, Vesolo and MERGE. Tickets are just $10 if you get there before 11pm. 

March is MAYHEM month, and you're going to want to be around people willing to dance (or die) till the early morning hours (March 7-8). If Gaga's recently-dropped singles are any indication, this album will be for the clubheads, and there's no better place to exercise your freak than at notorious Bushwick venue 3 Dollar Bill. 

Since its inception in New York City, Laylit—a party that celebrates a modern, blended Arab identity—has grown so much that it throws parties all over the world. That means that New Yorkers get to see less of them, and why it's even more special whenever they're in town. Head to their full Elsewhere takeover on March 15 to enjoy music from the diaspora, blended with club beats from across the world. 

Ever since alt sensation Jorja Smith dropped her debut album Lost & Found in 2018, she's shaped a new generation of British RnB musicians redefining the genre. Her last album, blended soul, RnB and house music to create a uniquely danceable album. Catch her at Brooklyn Paramount on Monday, March 10, or Tuesday, March 11. 

Mercury in Raggaeton, the Latin-centered party that happens only when Mercury is in retrograde, is coming back after months of anticipation. On March 22, you'll be able to dance all night to a lineup of local and international DJs including Saint Cabolco, Dangerous Rose, Josh Steers, Sinkitty and Skywalker at the up-and-coming venue Chocolate Factory which yes, was formally a funcitoning chocolate factory. Last time, Mercury in Raggaeton's perreo opened portals and left an unforgettable mark, and this year promises even more debauchery.

Last year, the G train became a source of headaches for many when it shut down for months, but all those inconveniences have led to this special moment: the G just introduced two open gangway trains—those modern, European-looking subways cars that actually feel like they belong to this century—to its route. This makes the G only the second subway line to have open gangways, after the A and C trains integrated them into their route last year.  RECOMMENDED: See inside the new GITANO These R211 subway cars are an essential part of the MTA's efforts to modernize. They include 58-inch wide door openings, a whole eight inches larger than the current cars in the system, which should significantly help facilitate boarding, especially during rush hour. The cars also include additional accessible seating, digital displays, brighter lighting, and many other features, per the MTA. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Time Out New York (@timeoutnewyork) “The innovations we’re bringing to the G—New York’s only crosstown subway line—are key to improving service long term for thousands of daily riders in Brooklyn and Queens,” said MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber. “That’s why new train cars and modern signals are such huge components of the next MTA Capital Plan – and why Albany needs to fully fund it so we can keep making progress.”  The New York City Transit Committee approved an order for 435 additional R211 subway cars, which includes 355 closed-end cars

If you want to see Cher and Alicia Keys in the same room, act fast: a benefit concert at the Beacon Theatre tomorrow, March 6, will feature both artists and many others, who are coming together for one night only to support a noble cause. All proceeds from the concert will go towards God's Love We Deliver, an organization that alleviates hunger for people with HIV/AIDS and other chronic illnesses, as well as Project Angel Food, which provides meals for those affected by the recent L.A. wildfires.  RECOMMENDED: NYC is celebrating World Water Day with a free concert by Britton & The Sting This will be the ninth installment of Love Rocks NYC, and this year's lineup will be amongst its most impressive, with Cher, Alicia Keys, Mavis Staples, Peter Frampton, Trey Anastasio, Kate Hudson, Michael McDonald, Luke Spiller Dave Stewart, and others taking the stage. There will also be a celebrity guest appearance by Tracy Morgan. The concert will start at 8pm and will also be live streamed. “This year is especially meaningful as God’s Love We Deliver celebrates having delivered more than 40 million meals since our founding in 1985," God’s Love We Deliver CEO Terrence Meck said in a statement. "We are so proud of our work nourishing our neighbors affected by severe and chronic illness, and we are grateful to Love Rocks NYC for the visibility and funds it raises for God’s Love We Deliver.” Since the show launched in 2017, it has raised more than $50 million and has helped fund more than 5 m

In recent years, the restaurant-slash-party spot Gitano has been the setting of many a drunk brunches and splashy Fashion Week shows. What it's never been, though, is easily accessible: the clubsaurant is usually only open from May to September on Governor's Island, which means the masses have had to take a ferry to reach it. Things are about to change, though: Grupo Gitano, the global luxury hospitality brand behind Gitano, just opened its first permanent location in the U.S. at the Seaport.  RECOMMENDED: Macy's is officially closing several New York locations The new restaurant, stylized in all caps as GITANO, sprawls across a 13,605 square-foot space at the 89 South Street and plans to bring its signature fusion of jungle vibes, elevated design and clubbing—this time, with prime views of the Brooklyn Bridge. The debut of the flagship location will come at the heels of the opening of GITANO Dubai and a series of pop-ups and activations across the globe that have increasingly cemented the brand's name in the international entertainmentscape. "We will blend the energy and creativity of New York with the laid-back luxury of the Yucatán, to transport our guests out of the city to our bohemian, tropical paradise that is delicious, glamorous and fun!," said James Gardner, founder and CEO of Grupo Gitano, in an official statement.

Fresh water is the reason human life can be sustained on earth and yet, pollution, economic inequality and climate change are making the precious resource harder for millions to access. We don't talk about it that much because, well, how do you make water awareness sexy?  This year, a free concert at the Gramercy Theatre on March 24 is aiming to do just that, with panels, workshops and an immersive theatrical performance by the iconic alt-soul group Britton & The Sting.  RECOMMENDED: A Skims experience just popped up in the middle of Times Square The March 24 event is spearheaded by MAMA, a theatrical experience that was first commissioned by Little Island and led by Tony Award winning artist Britton Smith and his band, Britton & The Sting. Last summer, MAMA performed five sold-out shows on a stage located on the floating park—which is surrounded by the Hudson River on all sides—and furthered conversations on the importance of water not just for our physical survival, but also as a cultural force that connects us all. "Unfortunately, It’s hard to make anything sexy that we believe is too easily attainable," Smith tells Time Out. "But when we take the time to remember the history, the journey and give voice to the water as our mother, something sexy happens. An awakening. A return. A new new. That’s sexy. And that’s available to all of us. All the time." MAMA's goal is to "awaken audiences to their deep, inherent connection to water." Fusing music with personal accounts, th

Ginger's Bar has been a staple of queer Brooklyn for a quarter of a century now, and the beloved lesbian bar is gearing up to throw a massive rager for St. Patrick's Day weekend from March 14 until March 16. In an Instagram post announcing back-to-back events and parties, the bar mentioned the current threats to queer rights and their desire to create a space for "queer joy, resistance, community and love." RECOMMENDED: Out Late: What insiders and partygoers are predicting for NYC nightlife in 2025 For its 25th anniversary, Ginger's will have live Irish music, DJ sets, Irish dancing and special guest appearances from Ireland itself. "Ginger's has always been more than just a bar—it's a home for the queer community created by my business partner, the original Ginger, Sheila Frayne," Brendan Donohoe, the bar's operating partner, said in a statement. "For 25 years, Ginger's has been a space where people can be themselves, nurture community, celebrate their identities, and build lasting connections." The statement also noted the amount of lesbian bars across the country that have been closing and the importance of spaces that affirm all parts of the queer community. Recently, the Trump administration removed all mention of trans people from Stonewall's website, further galvanizing LGBTQ+ spaces throughout New York. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ginger’s Bar (@gingersbar_brooklyn) Highlights of the three day palooza will include a Saturday,

Whether it's the West Indian Day Parade or the Pride Parade, New Yorkers love to see a good procession. What you probably didn't know is that planets have their parades too, and this week, New Yorkers will be able to witness one of them. Seven planets—Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune, Mercury and Saturn—are about to align along the Milky Way and will be visible from the tristate area from Wednesday, February 26, until Friday, February 28.  RECOMMENDED: The best things to do in NYC this week What time is best to see the Parade of Planets? The alignment will be most visible just after sunset, which now happens around 5:44pm. The best nights to see it will be tonight, Wednesday, February 26, or Friday, February 28, since the forecast is predicting overcast skies all of Thursday.  How often does a Planet Parade happen? Planetary parades happen every few years, and the last time one was visible was June 3, 2024. That time, though, only six planets were in alignment. Can you see it without a telescope? The short answer is “no”—you won't be able to appreciate the full planetary parade without a telescope. Uranus and Neptune will be too dim to be able to see without a telescope, while Mercury and Saturn will be too far out in the horizon to be spotted with the naked eye, per NBC. That means that only Mars, Jupiter and Venus will be visible without a telescope.  In short, you should try and get access to a telescope or binoculars if you want to actually see the planetary alignm

“Out Late” is Time Out’s nightlife and party column by DJ, Whorechata founder and Time Out New York Culture Editor Ian Kumamoto, and is published every other Tuesday. The previous edition was about the Black women DJs who are running NYC nightlife. It's kind of a weird time to party in New York. For one, the Trump administration seems to be doing its best to scrub trans people's existence, iconic nightlife venues are closing left and right, it costs too much to get anywhere, and did we mention it’s brick outside? It’s easy to catastrophize about the current state of clubbing and we love to complain that past eras of nightlife were better than the current one. The truth is that New Yorkers have always found a way to party and each wave is unique in its own right—whether it was in hidden dens during Prohibition or the illegal superspreader basement raves that became the stuff of COVID lore (which, by the way: Straight to jail!). In New York, the party never stops—it just looks different from era to era, and we’re definitely on the cusp of a new one right now. We asked nightlife insiders, frequent partygoers and hospitality people where they see NYC nightlife heading in 2025, as well as what they hope to see this year. These are the main takeaways from their insights.  1. There will be a lot less emphasis on alcohol and a lot more wellness-centered social clubs Photograph: shuddervisions | at Ray's It's not just pop psychology: Gen-Z really is drinking less alcohol than any ot

The most limited resource in New York City is space, and many of us are willing to pay an arm and a leg just to have somewhere comfortable enough to lay down at night, let alone create beautiful works of art.  If you're an artist who lives in Bushwick or its vicinity, that might soon change: a brand new “makerspace”—a term used to refer to co-working spaces for artists who often work with large, hard to access equipment—is coming to the neighborhood, and memberships are actually relatively affordable. RECOMMENDED: Streetwear brand Stüssy just opened a new flagship store in Nolita The brand new space, Brooklyn Spark, will open in mid-March at 75 Stewart Avenue near the Jefferson L stop and will offer space for local artists to work in. The membership will include access to hard-to-access equipment, including a table saw for woodworking, a kiln, a sewing machine and textile area, laser cutter, a 3D printer and more. The space was opened by local artists who were having trouble finding places to create, and the project will be run by volunteers. They encourage people of all skill levels to become members, and they'll hire professionals to teach classes for newbies across disciplines like sewing, ceramics and more.    Photograph: @njahobby The space will be available 24/7 to its members, and they'll first have to go through a safety orientation class to make sure they're qualified to use the machines in the space. Once they go through that orientation, members will be able to u

If you happened to walk along Prince Street over the weekend and noticed a long line of cool-looking young adults stretching down the block, that's because they were all waiting to get inside the newly-opened Stüssy flagship store in Nolita. Located at 50 Prince Street, the brand's latest major location features some pretty chic touches blending minimalism with a retro vibe for a zen-like shopping experience geared towards streetwear aficionados. RECOMMENDED: A first look at The View, New York’s only revolving restaurant—reborn Although Stüssy was founded in Southern California in 1984, the brand directly birthed much of the streetwear we now associate with New York City—most notably, Supreme, which was created by James Jebbia, a designer who was part of Stüssy's founding team along with its namesake, Shawn Stüssy.  Stüssy has gone through many iterations of itself, hitting a peak of cultural relevance in the late ‘80s, and has recently regained notoriety for its collaboration with Nike and other major brands. It's also garnered love from a younger generation that appreciates its classic streetwear style that has stayed relatively consistent throughout the decades.  The new flagship is located inside the 5,600-square-foot space that previously belonged to the McNally Jackson bookstore. The inside is the embodiment of minimalism, with lots of wood incorporated into the space and the occasional brutalist cement wall.  View this post on Instagram A post sha

Update, February 24: A previous version of this article mentioned that weekend programming would be spared from the budget cuts, but it appears that the museum has also suspended First Saturdays. Twenty twenty-five was slated to be an iconic year for the Brooklyn Museum—the institution is celebrating its 200th anniversary, for which it planned an entire year of special events and an expansion to some of its spaces. Now, the status of those celebrations is no longer clear: over the weekend, the museum announced it would lay off several employees and cut back on its exhibitions due to a $10 million budget deficit.  RECOMMENDED: Severance season 2 filming locations that New Yorkers can visit “We cannot continue to operate with the growing deficit we are carrying. No organization can continue in this way,” said Brooklyn Museum director Anne Pasternak at a meeting on Friday morning, per Artnet. The cuts will also involve laying off 10% of the museum's staff. Aside from the deficit, the Brooklyn Museum also cited inflation-related issues that have increased the institution's costs. Unfortunately, the funding that the museum receives has not kept up with the growing trend. Pasternak also added that the museum would cut the number of the exhibitions held each year from approximately 12 to 9, or a 25% reduction. It's not yet clear if any of the exhibitions that have already been announced will be affected by these cuts.  While Pasternak had previously noted that even though the museum

Nick, Kevin, Joe: if this seemingly random sequence of names stirs something deep within your soul, we got some major news for you.  On March 23, you'll be able to finally set your inner child free at JONASCON, a giant festival celebrating the musical legacy of the Jonas Brothers at the American Dream Mall in New Jersey.  RECOMMENDED: A first look at NYBG's transportive Orchid Show that takes on Mexican Modernism this spring JONASCON will celebrate the 20th year anniversary of the Jonas Brothers with live performances, DJ sets, panels, activations, immersive experiences and surprise guest appearances.  Everyone who registers to JONASCON here will have first access to Jonas Brothers-themed events happening on March 22 and 23 in both NYC and at the American Dream Mall.  In anticipation of the celebrations, the iconic trio dropped a video on Instagram earlier this week to thank fans for their support throughout two decades. Check it out: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jonas Brothers (@jonasbrothers) If you thought the Jonas Brothers were over, you are so wrong. The brand released its biggest album to date, aptly called The Album, in 2023, which included hit singles "Waffle House" and "Wings." In 2024, the world tour in support of the album became their biggest yet, including sold-out shows at Yankee Stadium.  But the Jonases have been part and parcel of our culture for years, now, especially for those of us who grew up in the early 200
