Symphony Space announces 2026-27 season of live programming, with Ethan Hawke talks, 'Wicked' singalongs and a big Billy is one of our hand-picked Events finds for New York. A star-studded season of books, music, comedy and film will give way to a citywide “Pop-Up Year” during the venue’s renovation.
Why New York? New York is the ultimate dense, 24-hour city — five boroughs of iconic skyline, world culture and neighborhood-deep diversity. The city is known for the skyline and Times Square, Broadway, museums and global food.
Good to know: Spring and autumn are ideal; December dazzles for holidays; summer is hot and humid. The 24-hour subway is the fastest way around; Manhattan and much of Brooklyn are very walkable.
