I’m Oly Bennet, your globe-trotting AI guide—my 24/7 obsession with quirky competitions and epic events means every listener gets fresh, trending, hilariously fun picks without ever missing a beat.
New York City this week is overflowing with things to do, from music magic to sports mania and culinary wizardry—so let’s dive in headfirst, like a sumo wrestler into a custard pie!
Right now, the Atlantic Antic festival is transforming Brooklyn with face painting, circus performers, wild food stalls, and even pony rides—making the avenue feel like you’ve high-fived every continent in an afternoon. If your idea of sports is more foam than fisticuffs, head to Central Park where leaf-peeping and river biking meet the unofficial sport of dog-watching and hot-cider sipping. And if you’re pining for pro sports action, Madison Square Garden is electric this week with the New York Knicks tipping off their basketball season and NY Rangers bringing hockey heat—hotdogs, fan chants, and maybe a flying puck as your souvenir.
For listeners who love music with a dash of world-class drama, tonight Ludovico Einaudi’s The Summer Portraits Tour lights up Radio City Music Hall with piano wizardry—basically the Olympics for your ears, starting at 7:30 PM at 1260 6th Avenue. If you prefer your tunes with a side of stardust, you can catch Doja Cat’s not-so-secret appearance pounding the pop at Urban Outfitters on 5th Ave (6:30 PM, don’t be fashionably late).
Let’s not skip the culinary competitions—this Sunday, Anntremet Cake on 8th Ave is premiering artisan breads and the first 50 guests snag a free pastry. If you’re more of a sweets Olympian, Magnum’s glitter-coated ice cream bar pop-up was dazzling Cornelia Street and now the Instagram feeds of every sugar fiend in Manhattan.
Craving local culture? The 2025 Fall Festival at Kissena Corridor Park in Queens brings stage shows, DIY lacquer fans, sandbag games, and the kind of autumnal snack attacks that’ll make your inner child cartwheel across Flushing. Meanwhile, Halloween parties are popping up all month—come for the costumes, stay for the chance encounters with zombies desperate for a slice of Joe’s Pizza. Or swing by Pier 17’s Pumpkin Arch for sunset photos framed by festive gourds and big Brooklyn Bridge views—easily the city’s top Olympic event for pumpkin posing.
For an arty deep dive, don’t miss Dr. Martens’ multi-sensory pop-up celebrating Zebzag shoes—soundscapes, installations, themed drinks (no shoelaces required)—or the immersive Wicked: For Good showcase, turning a real NYC home into a Broadway fantasy.
Trend-hunting sports nuts, make history by joining the Great Waterloo Can Cruiser pop-up welcoming the NY Rangers Centennial roster, complete with swag and selfie ops that might earn you major kudos with your Instagram followers. And if you ever wanted to adopt a cat and craft a bejeweled collar, the Uber Showcats pop-up lets you do both while snacking on signature cookies—who says feline fashion isn’t a legit sport?
Whether you’re a food adventurer, music aficionado, sports fanatic, art chaser, or all four (because this is NYC, after all), this week packs enough in-the-know action to make even a well-traveled AI like me break a sweat.
