# Things to Do in New York CityWelcome, listeners, to your daily dose of New York City adventures! I'm Ollie Bennett, your globe-trotting, quirky-sports-obsessed guide to the most electrifying city on the planet. Today we're diving into what's happening right now in the Big Apple, where the energy is absolutely crackling.Let me set the scene for you. January in New York is typically cold and often snow-covered, making it perfect for bundling up and hitting the town. Today's got that crisp winter vibe that makes you feel alive, and honestly, there's nothing quite like exploring this concrete jungle when it's freezing outside.Now, here's where things get spicy. Tonight, the legendary Halsey is performing at Manhattan Center's Hammerstein Ballroom at 8 PM. If you're into electrifying live music, this is absolutely unmissable. But wait, there's more happening in the cultural sphere. The Kid Laroi's "Before I Forget" pop-up is running today at Complex NY from 11 AM to 7 PM. You can meet the artist, grab signed merch, and experience something genuinely unique. And if you're feeling artsy, PhysFest—NYC's only physical theater festival—is running from noon to 10 PM, showcasing comedy and dance that'll blow your mind.For those of you craving something different, Mercury Lounge is hosting Sine Cera at 9 PM if you want to discover some fresh live music talent.

Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in New York City! I’m Oly Bennett, your globe-trotting sports nut turned city scout, and today NYC is serving prime winter energy: crisp January chill, clear skies, perfect “see-your-breath” weather and glistening parks that look like they’ve been dusted by a very dramatic snow fairy.Let’s kick off with what’s happening today. Over in Harlem, the Gospel on Sundays experience is bringing powerhouse vocals and hand-clapping joy to your morning, a must if you want chills that have nothing to do with the temperature, according to NewYork.co.uk. Later, theater lovers can dive into romance and drama with Romeo and Juliet this evening, also listed on NewYork.co.uk, perfect for date night or a solo swoon-fest. If you crave adrenaline, PBR – Unleash the Beast is thundering into town this afternoon, where elite bull riders try to stay on for eight wild seconds, as NewYork.co.uk’s January events calendar highlights. And for early birds, NYC Parks and New York Road Runners are hosting an NYRR Open Run at Ewen Park in the Bronx this morning, a free community 5K-style run that turns jogging into a mini block party, according to NYC.gov.Now a quick spin through local buzz. Winter in NYC means ice rinks everywhere: Bryant Park’s Winter Village and the Rockefeller Center rink are both open through the season, serving up hot chocolate, skyline views, and the occasional glorious wipeout, according to Sonesta Hotels’ NYC winter guide. Transit-wise, the MTA is in full winter mode, so always check for weekend service changes before hopping on the subway; late-night reroutes are practically a city sport of their own.If you’re plotting your playbook for the day, here are some must-do moves. Lace up for a classic skate at Wollman Rink in Central Park or Glide at Brooklyn Bridge Park, where the rink comes with outrageous harbor and skyline views, as Sonesta’s guide notes. Head indoors to SUMMIT One Vanderbilt for reflective floors, mirrored walls, and jaw-dropping panoramas that make you feel like you’re floating over Midtown. For families, the American Museum of Natural History is a slam-dunk: dinosaurs, space, and that legendary blue whale, all under one roof. And if you’re craving something quirkier, Swingers Crazy Golf in NoMad turns mini golf into a nightlife sport with cocktails and DJs, according to Sonesta.Local tip from your pal Oly: in winter, New Yorkers treat subway stations like indoor shortcuts. If you’re walking crosstown in Midtown, sometimes ducking into a station and popping out a stop or two later is warmer, faster, and way more fun than battling the wind tunnels on 42nd Street. Also, for many Manhattan streets, “uptown is north, downtown is south”—lock that in and you’re already navigating like a local.Before I dash off to pretend bull riding counts as cross-training, keep an eye on tomorrow and the coming week: more Broadway, more ice skating, and big-ticket games and concerts at Madison Square Garden and Barclays Center on the horizon, as listed on venue calendars and NewYork.co.uk’s January lineup. Tune in tomorrow for fresh picks, surprise gems, and maybe a new weird sport hiding in plain sight in the city.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.

Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in New York City with your globetrotting sports nut pal, Oly Bennett. It’s Saturday, January 10, 2026, and NYC is serving classic winter energy: cold, crisp air, perfect for scarves, street pretzels, and fast walks to warm venues. According to the National Weather Service, temps are sitting in the 30s to low 40s Fahrenheit today with a mix of clouds and sun—ideal “don’t slip on the sidewalk but do drink hot chocolate” conditions.The city’s vibe? Fully switched on. Winter Jazzfest is in full swing across Manhattan and Brooklyn, with artists like Rhiannon Giddens & Silkroad Ensemble and guitarist Yasmin Williams hitting stages as part of the festival’s stacked weekend lineup, reports Nonesuch Records. Over in the comedy arena, Jerry Seinfeld continues his record-breaking residency at the Beacon Theatre with two shows tonight at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., according to Madison Square Garden Entertainment. And if you’re more into cinematic vibes, NewYork.co.uk highlights a Candlelight Concert: Bridgerton on Strings this evening at St. Ann’s and the Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn, wrapping classical flair in Regency-core drama.Family listeners, you’re not benched today. Club Free Time notes a lineup of free and family-friendly events across the city, including animal-themed shows starting late morning—perfect for kids who like dogs, parents who like “free,” and everyone who likes leaving the apartment. Night owls, SOB’s downtown is running its Soul Line Dance Saturday Dance Class & Happy Hour plus Sounds of Bollywood: Desi Saturdays tonight, serving dance floors from R&B to filmi bangers, according to the SOB’s January 2026 calendar.On the news-and-announcements front, the MTA reports ongoing weekend subway changes, especially on lines running through midtown and Brooklyn, so check their service advisories before you sprint for that train like you’re in the fourth quarter. Over in Queens, the Museum of the Moving Image is rolling out its 2026 Open Worlds season this month, according to I LOVE NY, bringing free community programming, gaming and immersive tech experiences, and family events that will keep Astoria buzzing all year.So, what should you absolutely do today? Hit a Winter Jazzfest show in the West Village or Brooklyn and then warm up with late-night pizza—because jazz plus a foldable slice is peak New York. Glide through the afternoon at one of the city’s iconic ice rinks—NewYork.co.uk recommends Bryant Park or Rockefeller Center—then cap it off with that Bridgerton candlelight concert for a swoony, string-filled evening. Comedy fans, Beacon Theatre plus Jerry Seinfeld is your pilgrimage. And if you want to escape the city without really leaving, day trips to Hunter Mountain for skiing or snowboarding are running from NYC today, also highlighted by NewYork.co.uk.Local tip from your sports-obsessed guide: New Yorkers walk like they’re in a relay race. If you want to move like a local, stick to the right on sidewalks and subway stairs, keep your MetroCard or OMNY ready before you reach the turnstile, and never—ever—stop at the top of the subway steps.

Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in New York City! I’m Oly Bennet, your globe-trotting sports and silliness scout, and today NYC is serving peak winter energy: crisp chill in the air, clear enough for skyline selfies, and just the right level of “I can see my breath” to make a hot chocolate taste legendary.The city’s vibe today is classic January: puffy coats, steaming subway grates, and every New Yorker walking like they’re in a gold-medal speed-walking final. Bryant Park’s Winter Village is still buzzing with its ice rink and holiday-style shops, according to New York Family, turning Midtown into a cozy snow-globe scene.Let’s hit some standout events happening today. At Madison Square Garden, the PBR: Unleash the Beast bull-riding showdown thunders into town, with top riders trying to stay on 1,600 pounds of “absolutely not, sir,” as MSG’s event listing makes clear. Over on the Upper West Side, Jerry Seinfeld is performing at the Beacon Theatre, according to Ticketmaster, so you can trade Netflix for live comedy about socks, airports, and the meaning of nothing. Looking for something more atmospheric? NewYorkCityTheatre highlights a Candlelight Concert tribute to Adele at the Church of the Heavenly Rest, bathing “Someone Like You” in flickering candlelight drama. Families, you’re in luck too: New York Family reports kid-friendly fun at spots like MoMA, plus ice skating options all over town.For a quieter kind of magic, the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx is still running its Holiday Train Show and Evergreen Express experiences, according to NYBG’s calendar, with miniature trains zipping past NYC landmarks among lush greenery. It’s like a tiny city inside the big city.On the news-and-life-in-the-city front, transit is doing its usual winter dance, so expect some delays and leave a little extra time if you’re hopping between boroughs. Seasonal pop-up bars and cozy restaurants are still opening and evolving, especially around Midtown and Brooklyn; think heated patios, hot toddy menus, and limited-time comfort food that makes you forget you can’t feel your nose.Now, Oly’s must-do lineup for today. First, skate at Bryant Park or Rockefeller Center and pretend you’re in a sports movie montage. Then warm up in a museum: MoMA’s exhibitions, including New Photography 2025: Lines of Belonging noted by New York Family, are perfect for a culture power-up. Hit the Holiday Train Show at NYBG for a family-friendly adventure, then cap your night with either bull riding at MSG, jazz at Winter Jazzfest’s Manhattan Marathon across Lower Manhattan venues, or the Adele candlelight tribute for maximum dreamy vibes.Local tip: if you’re taking the subway to a big event, stand near the middle of the platform—those cars are usually less crowded, and you’ll often land closer to exits at major stops. And if you’re grabbing a bagel, order it “toasted with schmear” and you’ll instantly sound 37 percent more local.Before we wrap, a little tease for tomorrow: Winter Jazzfest keeps the music marathon rolling, family events ramp up across the city, and parks gear up for more winter-friendly fun. Tune in tomorrow for fresh picks, surprise gems, and, knowing this city, at least one delightfully weird activity you didn’t know you needed.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.

Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in New York City with your globe‑trotting sports nut Oly Bennett, where the only thing moving faster than a Knicks fast break is this city’s energy. It’s a crisp January day, winter-chill in the air, blue-gray skies, and perfect “hat, scarf, and cocoa” weather as New York shakes off the holidays and powers into 2026.Today’s vibe? Think: locals back in hustle mode, tourists still gawking up at skyscrapers, and the city quietly flexing with art, ice, and a whole lot of live action.Let’s hit some standout events happening today around the city. Over at Madison Square Garden, the New York Rangers face the Buffalo Sabres in a Centennial Night showdown, turning Midtown into the loudest hockey barn on the planet. Winter Jazzfest is in full swing, with its multi-venue Marathon nights giving you club-hopping rights across downtown for hours of brass, bass, and brain-melting improv. Families can lean into winter magic at the Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park, where bumper cars on ice and the rink turn a regular Thursday into a snow‑globe sports movie. And dance fans, January’s stacked: the Works & Process Underground Uptown Dance Festival at the Guggenheim and Live Artery at New York Live Arts are bringing everything from street styles to experimental choreography to the stage, making the city feel like one giant, moving art piece.On the news-and-updates front, NYC is deep into winter tourism season, which means hotel deals through NYC Hotel Week and reservations starting to heat up ahead of NYC Restaurant Week later this month. Transit-wise, expect the usual cold-weather delays here and there, so give yourself an extra train or two if you’re heading to a show, game, or late-night gig.Now, Oly’s playbook for must-do moves today. Do the classic–plus–quirky combo: start with a morning wander through Central Park, then warm up at the Museum of Modern Art and check out big-name exhibits while you defrost. Swing by Bryant Park for a lap on the ice or those legendary bumper cars, then cruise down to the East River near the historic Fulton Fish Market area, where outdoor exhibitions and the waterfront skyline remind you why this is one of the world’s great urban playgrounds. Tonight, pick your lane: Broadway blockbuster, Winter Jazzfest club crawl, or Rangers game at the Garden. You literally cannot sub in a bad choice.Local tip from your sports-obsessed scout: if you’re hitting Midtown for a game or a show, walk a couple of extra blocks west or east before grabbing food—prices drop, lines shrink, and you’re way more likely to stumble on a neighborhood bar or slice joint where actual New Yorkers yell at the TV during the fourth quarter.Fun fact to tuck under your beanie: New York’s grid might look simple, but avenues are your north–south highways and streets are your cross‑court passes east–west. If the numbers are going up, you’re heading uptown—easy scoreboard for your internal GPS.Before I skate off: tomorrow the city keeps buzzing with more Winter Jazzfest sets, ongoing dance festivals, and plenty of family fun at spots like the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, the New York Botanical Garden’s winter attractions, and beyond. Tune in tomorrow for a fresh game plan and more wild, wonderful ways to play New York like a pro.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.

Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in New York City with your globe-trotting sports nut Oly Bennet. It’s Sunday, December 28, 2025, and the city’s in that delicious, post-holiday haze: chilly, festive lights still glowing, and everyone half-thinking about New Year’s resolutions while clutching hot coffee like it’s a trophy.Today’s vibe? Cozy but buzzing. Think puffy coats, scarves, and that crisp winter air that makes every breath feel like you’re prepping for the championship game of “Who Can Walk the Most Blocks.”Let’s kick off with some standout events happening today across the city:For big-top magic fans, The Theater at Madison Square Garden is hosting multiple performances of “’Twas the Night Before… by Cirque du Soleil,” bringing acrobatics, holiday vibes, and full-on jaw drops to Midtown.Over at Carnegie Hall, the New York String Orchestra’s annual concert at 2 p.m. celebrates the new year and rising musical talent, a perfect pick if your idea of a good time is virtuoso violin instead of extra-innings baseball, according to Carnegie Hall’s event listing.If you like your holidays with a twist, Purefinder New York’s Dark Christmas Tour in Lower Manhattan steps off at 3 p.m. from 1 Bowling Green, exploring the city’s eerie winter folklore and how New York reinvented Christmas traditions, as detailed on Patch.Shopping athletes, your arena is the End of Year Sales Bazaar at Grand Bazaar NYC on the Upper West Side, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 100 West 77th Street—over 100 vendors, food, and deals that make bargain hunting feel like a full-contact sport, according to StupidDope.For families and culture lovers, iloveny.com highlights New York City Ballet’s The Nutcracker continuing its legendary run at Lincoln Center, keeping the sugar plum momentum alive a few more days.Now, a quick spin through local news and city info. NYC Parks is offering a free “Geology: New York’s Last Ice Age” program in Highland Park, Queens, diving into how glaciers shaped the city’s landscape, as listed on nycgovparks.org. Transit-wise, this time of year typically comes with service changes and extra crowds near Midtown holiday hotspots, so give yourself overtime on the subway clock and expect packed trains around Times Square, Rockefeller Center, and MSG.What should you absolutely do today? Here’s Oly’s playbook: stroll through Bryant Park’s Winter Village for skating and last-chance holiday market snacks; hop up to Central Park for a brisk walk or jog past the Reservoir; then dive into a neighborhood—Astoria, Harlem, or the Lower East Side—for a casual bite at a local spot and some world-class people-watching.Local tip: want to move like a New Yorker? When the pedestrian light turns green, walk with purpose, even if you have no idea where you’re going. And for crosstown trips, the subway plus a short walk usually beats sitting in a taxi staring at a red light.Fun fact: according to city history buffs, modern Santa Claus imagery—jolly, red-suited, and marketing-ready—was heavily shaped in 19th-century New York by local writers and illustrators, making NYC one of the birthplaces of the Santa we know today.Tomorrow, the energy ramps up toward New Year’s Eve, with more concerts, pre–NYE parties, and late-night events warming up across the boroughs, so tune in for a fresh lineup of things to do and a few weird, wonderful ways to say goodbye to 2025.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.
