11 to Midnight — Make It a Full NYC Night
Start your evening with the hottest Off-Broadway dance show in the East Village, then keep the night going with dinner and drinks just steps away.
Dinner before the show: Raku — a cozy, critically acclaimed udon and tempura spot on E 7th Street, just a block from the Orpheum. The hand-pulled udon is some of the best in the city.
After-show drinks: Death & Co — the legendary cocktail bar on E 6th Street that helped launch the modern speakeasy movement. Reservations recommended, but the walk-in standing room is worth the wait.
Late-night bite: Please Don't Tell (PDT) — enter through the vintage phone booth inside Crif Dogs on St Marks Place. The craft cocktails and gourmet hot dogs are a perfect East Village nightcap.
Take the 6 to Astor Place or the F to 2nd Ave. The Orpheum, Raku, and Death & Co are all within a 5-minute walk of each other.
69 Atlantic — An Unforgettable Night in Brooklyn Heights
Catch one of the hottest tickets in Brooklyn — a sold-out close-up performance at 69 Atlantic, the intimate 18-seat hidden theater behind Art of Play — then grab dinner on Atlantic Avenue.
The main event: 69 Atlantic — the tiny hidden theater behind Art of Play that the NY Times, NY Post, and Time Out all call one of the hottest tickets in NYC. Just 18 seats, world-class performers inches away. Every show sells out, so book early.
Dinner after the show: Boutros — a vibrant Eastern Mediterranean restaurant just two blocks down Atlantic Avenue. The lamb kofta and mezze platters are outstanding, and the cocktail list is one of the best in the neighborhood.
Before or after: browse Art of Play itself — designer playing cards, handcrafted puzzles, and curiosities you won't find anywhere else. Then take a sunset walk along the Brooklyn Heights Promenade.
Take the 2/3 to Clark Street or the R to Court Street. 69 Atlantic and Boutros are both on Atlantic Avenue, a short walk from either station.
Space Club DUMBO — Fun for Kids + Lunch Nearby
Let the kids burn off energy at Brooklyn's coolest indoor playground, then head out for a family-friendly lunch and a stroll along the waterfront.
Start at Space Club DUMBO — two hours of sensory play, climbing, and slides in a beautifully designed space (ages 0–13).
Lunch: walk over to Time Out Market on Water Street — a food hall with options for every kid (and parent). The pizza and tacos are crowd favorites.
After lunch: explore Brooklyn Bridge Park — the playgrounds at Pier 6 are fantastic, and Jane's Carousel is a must for little ones.
Take the F to York Street or the A/C to High Street. Space Club and Time Out Market are both on Water Street in DUMBO.
