Planning your weekend in New York? Somo gathers the full weekend line-up in one place — from Friday after-work to Sunday brunch. We cover everything that's on: big concerts, festivals and clubs, but also the smaller discoveries — flea markets, food events, gallery openings and local sports. Our thesis is simple: every event counts. A great weekend in New York isn't just the headline names — it's in the breadth where the most memorable nights come from.
A typical weekend in New York runs from Saturday breakfast at a new café to club nights on the city's best dance floors. Take a long walk to an exhibition, book a theatre ticket, play padel with friends, try a new restaurant, catch stand-up or find a live concert. For families, museums, parks and indoor play areas offer kid-friendly options. Fancy something outside the city? Somo covers the region — nearby towns often have hidden-gem events worth the short trip.
Use the time filter to drill into what's on specifically Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Many of the weekend's most popular events sell out in advance — save them in the Somo app and book tickets as soon as you find one you like. Turn on notifications to hear about new events in New York, or follow specific organisers and categories for a personal feed. Clubs and bars often update their programmes late in the week, so it pays to check back on Thursday or Friday.
The most popular categories in New York are live music and concerts, nightlife and clubs, food & drink, theatre and performing arts, sports and family activities. New categories surface constantly as New York evolves. Click the links below to explore a specific category, or combine category and time filter to find exactly what you're after — for instance "concerts this weekend" or "food & drink today".
