About
A weekly-updated calendar of things worth doing in New York, plus a Monday newsletter and the occasional review.
Hi, I’m Martha
I love going to events — and I love telling people about them afterward. Readings, shows, sound baths, the weirder the theater the better. New York keeps surprising me, and I’d honestly rather be out in it than home.
Culture Calendar is where I keep track of what’s on and pass along the parts worth your night.
The Monday newsletter
Every Monday morning I send out five events for the week ahead — the ones I’d actually go to — with a link back to this calendar so you can see the rest and plan around them.
It’s free. It also has reviews and musings: what a show was actually like, whether the ticket was worth it, the small things that make an evening.
How the calendar works
- Updated weekly. Events are pulled from a set of favorite venues and refreshed by hand each week — always double-check the venue’s own page before you go.
- Martha’s picks is the default view: the handful I’m recommending right now.
- Might like widens it with guesses — things that fit the pattern of what I go to.
- All events is everything, filterable by venue and category.
- The Guide & Map has the venues themselves, ticket tips, and the festivals worth planning around.
