About this pick

This famous Upper West Side bar—a local favorite for beer and football—is closing after 32 years next month is one of our hand-picked Events finds for New York. The Amsterdam Avenue institution will pour its final round this October after losing its lease.

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.
