🪩 March NYC Events & Happenings

Guys, we made it to the last month of winter! This is the time of year when we’re collectively OVER the cold, but don’t lose hope…spring is just around the corner.

A bit of a light edition today for March, but I’m trying something new: because I add so many events throughout the month, I’ll be sending a mid-month Out There so you don’t miss a thing.

This month, keep your eyes on the always fun Flamenco Festival NYC, the final week of the Outside Art Fair, and the LES’s indie music festival, The New Colossus.

As always, keep those notes coming if you attend something, see something I missed, or just want to say hello.
