Winter is coming but now you can revel inside a cozy igloo with your friends at Bryant Park. We have the scoop on a great online charity auction —but hurry—bidding ends on Wednesday. Head to Chinatown for a block walk and food tastings. And if you can see the Empire State building tonight, you’ll love what they’re doing. Our Broadway Babe is keeping Broadway alive for all of us.

It featured star-studded Broadway performances and a wonderful roundtable discussion. You can still buy tickets to watch on demand. And you definitely want to check out the online auction that is open until Wednesday. Let the bidding wars begin.
Nov. 8. In the Mood for Food Chinatown Block Walk
Chinatown needs our love more than ever and here’s a fun way you can help. In the Mood for Food takes you along the foodie’s footpath from the eyes of a resident. It’s a lively experience of eating your way through a night market, the socially distanced way. Through small bites from local businesses, and stops to witness the spirit that makes Chinatown extraordinary, this block walk is a way to taste the town, while supporting small businesses and bringing the spirit and unique energy back to Chinatown. Stay safe, chi fan ba! 吃饭吧. Get details and tickets.
