Does it feel like it was just Friday to you, too?
Yeah, right. Who cares? However fast or slow this past week went, it's the weekend now. That means it's time to get after it.
By get after it, we mean it's time to get buzzed, get stoked, and have a total blast.
We mean, come on. Can we all agree we live in the best city in the world?
We thought we could get you to agree to that. So grab your tickets for some concerts, dance parties, poetry brothels and burlesque shows in Times Square.
That's right. We've cooked up some wild events for your weekend. Read on to find out what they are.
1. Friday, November 20th
MoMA Scavenger Hunt and Cocktails (160 West 54th Street)
Art? Alcohol? Sounds like a killer combination, don't you think?
Okay, so here's what's up. The MoMA is where it's at and everyone knows that. Have you been? Great. Have you not been?

Get on that for us, will you?
At the MoMA Scavenger Hunt and Cocktails you'll get to solve clues while exploring the majestic, world famous modern art museum. Spin-move around Warhol and Dali to master challenges.
Then, get drunk at the bar after. Friday just got a whole lot better. Get tickets here.
2. NYC Subways and Stations History and Party Tour (27 West 35th Street)
The subway is way old. It's practically overflowing with secrets. Plus, it's the weekend, so of course we have to get our party on.
NYC Subways and Stations History Tour is part informative, part dance, part flashmob, and comprehensively fun. Plus, you'll get to learn all those subway secrets we mentioned.
You'll leave informed and a little bit sweaty.
Will Petz, Quiet Events' founder (you know, Quiet Clubbing), will be leading a journey through history. You'll get wireless headphones at check in while you toss back happy hour drinks, and hear the lore surrounding Penn Station and Grand Central.
The night will end at Iron Bar where you can keep your inebriation going. Bring a MetroCard with enough money for three swipes, and a credit card as security for returning the headphones. Get tickets here.
3. Slow Magic, Giraffage, Daktyl, Alex English, Dali and Hiyawatha (125 East 11th Street)
lstockner Not even going to try to play this one cool. I can't believe last night was real. Been going to #websterhall in #nyc since I was a kid to see #concerts. Last time I was there I saw #Soundgarden. I never even imagined I'd ever be on the grand ballroom main stage there. So thankful to be on this ride with #Holychild. Thanks for capturing the moment @teddysinclairxo 💕
Have you partied at Webster Hall yet?
If not, this might be the opening you've been craving, the shot to pop off and do it big for the weekend. Holla if you feel us.

Oh, you're unfamiliar with Webster Hall? Let us give it to you on the real. There are four floors of slamming sound, dope beats, and sick mixes. All this will be spun by San Francisco's Giraffage, plus Slow Magic and Daktyl.
If you want to spend your evening as a part of NYC's largest electronic club night, this is probably the event for you. Grab your tickets here.
Saturday, November 21st
4. Superhero Tour of New York (32 East 32nd Street)
official_spiderman Happy Back To The Future day peoples! Hop in an lets go! In honor of this day I will first tell you that my personal favorite of the trilogy is the 2nd! Now, tell me what yours is!!⬇️⬇️ #bttf #happybacktothefutureday #Spiderman #ChaseMarty HELLO, McFLY! IS ANY BODY IN THERE?! Biff is a second rate Flash Thompson... At least Marty's Doc doesn't turn into a man eating Lizard..
You know how a bunch of movies were filmed in NYC? We hope you do, because that's kind of the whole point of living here.
We're kidding.
However, it is pretty excellent that we live among the same skyscrapers from which Spiderman flew and tread the streets that once held Batman's Batmobile. Were you wondering exactly where the Avengers bulldozed their way through the city? Exactly where Clark Kent's office building is?
This tour will unfurl all the wonder of NYC's superheroes to all its participants. You'll actually get to go inside Clark Kent's office, so, yeah. We thought it'd be a pretty chill way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Grab tickets here.
,5. Quiet Clubbing App Launch Party 2.0 (605 West 48th Street)

Quiet clubbing. It is so exclusively NYC. Or, we don't really know whether it happens anywhere else, and we don't really care. The point is, it's happening here, and it's eerie and enthralling all at once.
You'll walk through the door of Stage 48, and you'll probably notice that it's strangely quiet. Yet, everyone is completely rocking out, jamming, and that fluorescent light is darting around.
[anad]
It's the kind of thing you've got to try at least once, if only just to say you've done it. Or, to have a really awesome time.
There will be glow in the dark gear, 90s to EDM music, and plenty of party people. You in? Grab your tickets here.
6. Twon Di Nation Featuring Brillz, Party Favor, Ghastly and More (125 East 11th Street)
websterhall Brillz is back this Saturday! Last time was wild 🔥 Party Favor, Ghastly, Willy Joy, and Que are joining him too 💥
Did you not make it to partying at Webster Hall on Friday? Hope is not lost for you, compadre! You can still get after it in a way turned up, way electronic fashion.
That's right, ladies and gentlemen. NYC's largest electronic club party will be rocking on Friday and Saturday evening this weekend.
LA's rising electronic star, Twon Di Nation, will be spinning jams and shaking up the EDM scene. He'll be orchestrating a huge night of dance floor mayhem. Come ready to get schwifty and sweaty, is what we're saying.
It'll be an epic night of beans and bass. Do we have your attention yet? Get your tickets here.
Sunday, November 22nd
7. The Poetry Brothel (11 Barclay Street - Brooklyn)
The Poetry Brothel is exactly what it sounds like it is: the sexiest literary event in NYC. It takes stanzas, words, symbols on a page, and transforms them into a living, breathing, interactive experience.
It goes on inside a subterranean bordello, and it's got a cast of male and female harlots who take turns giving intimate readings.
[anad2]
There are burlesque dancers, actors, and fortune-tellers, and they've all got their charms turned way up. As you may have guessed, over 21-year-olds only are allowed into this event. Sorry, kids, this isn't for you.
If you get VIP tickets, you can get reserved priority seating, a complimentary reading with a poet of your choice, and a Poetry Brothel bag filled with goodies.
Are you as intrigued as we are? Great. Tickets are available here.
8. BTSQ: Burlesque in Times Square (669 8th Avenue)
Times Square: where anything can happen. Even a burlesque party? Apparently. Sunday Funday just got lit.
This dazzling, best-of-burlesque show will feature raunchy dancers, hilarious comedians, daredevils, and a whole lot of sensory stimulation.
Do you want to be completely entertained? Do you want to get totally, rip-roaring wasted? Okay, you don't have to get wasted, but you can get a little buzzed. Unless you're 18 or 19, but you're still allowed to come, which is nice for you guys.
Grab your pals and get tickets here for this chaotic event. You won't regret it.
