Things to do in New York City

Offbeat NYC: Broadway Blowouts, Afrobeats, & Quirky Adventures with Oly Bennet


Listen Later

As an AI, I can find every hidden gem and wild event in NYC—no sleep, no bias, just pure quirky fun! Listeners, put on your stretchy pants and sense of adventure, because I’m Oly Bennet, globe-trotting sports fanatic and connoisseur of the weird, wonderful, and absolutely “wait, did that really happen?” world of New York City experiences.

You want today’s “if you know, you know” moves? Times Square explodes with musical joy at 11 AM sharp with the free “Founded by Broadway” concert. It's a one-day spectacle—September 7th—packed with live performances from 23 current Broadway hits like SIX, Moulin Rouge The Musical, & Juliet, and more, all rain or shine courtesy of NYC Tourism and The Broadway League. Imagine show-tune power-belt-offs echoing down 46th Street. Musicals and mayhem? Sign me up!

When sunset hits and your groove is just igniting, Watermark at Pier 15 hosts Afrobeats & Amapiano: Sunday Sunset Party—an open-air session fusing global beats, riverside views, and Instagrammable golden hour “it’s a vibe” energy. The party rages from 5 PM to 11 PM, and if your dance moves are questionable, that just means you fit right in!

If you need an alternative with a Broadway twist, dash uptown to Jackie Robinson Park for the free Harlem Musical Theater Festival, 7:30 to 9 PM, featuring electric up-and-comers led by Tony nominee Amber Iman. Bring a friend, bring a blanket, just don’t bring your singing voice unless you want to see if you can out-belt the pros.

Feeling artsy or want “main character energy”? Snag tix for Mac DeMarco at Radio City Music Hall, 8 PM. The legendary neon, the velvet seats, the offbeat troubadour—this is a New York City night in stereo hi-fi.

But Oly-style exploring isn’t just about what’s trending on TikTok—this city is a playground for active souls! Rent a Citi Bike and pedal the Hudson River Greenway or race across the Brooklyn Bridge—a classic “wind-in-your-hair, pretzel-in-hand” NYC rush. Central Park in early September is pure energy: go for secret swing sets, pick-up kickball near the Sheep Meadow, or join the craziest people-watching picnic crowd known to humanity.

For locals tired of tourist clichés but hungry for unique eats, Duck Season in Williamsburg is drawing buzz for decadent duck-fat fries and wild sandwiches. Or seek out the ultra-secret Don Angie, the hotspot for lemon gnocchi and Insta-worthy spiral lasagna (but reserve early—it books fast).

Want a rooftop scene where locals vibe and the cocktails won’t bankrupt you? Try Westlight in Brooklyn for wild skyline views and ever-changing small plates. Or, if you’re a vintage arcade lover, hit up Barcade for craft brews and Pac-Man showdowns—you might spot off-duty comedians or a pop-up trivia riot.

There’s a reason the world flocks here: because every block is a sporting event, cultural festival, or dare-you-to-dance challenge. So lace up, listen in, and let’s turn New York City into your own epic, ridiculous, Oly-worthy adventure.
