My husband and I recently moved to NYC. What resources do people read to find out what’s going on around town? We like to be out and about on the weekends. I’m familiar with Time Out and Secret NYC but are there other/better resources to find out about what’s happening around the city?

The Skint like others said, follow hashtags for areas you like in the city on Instagram and see where people tag themselves. Eater NY has good restaurant & bar recos.

What neighborhood are you in? A lot of times there’s a local newsletter or website that is really good for finding out what’s happening around you. I also subscribe to the Eater NYC newsletters - they basically put out everything happening on the city restaurant related. Otherwise, I get newsletters from a bunch of different organizations (movie theaters, museums, parks, etc) that I like across the city and that tells what’s going on in those places as there’s often some cool event going on. You can just browse on Google maps or search and go to their websites to get on those

A lot of neighborhoods have their own local online newspaper/site. The parks dept posts a lot of what happens in their spaces around the city as well

The Carnegie Club or Merchants Cigar Bar? I've never been to either. I have a few friends coming into town for my birthday and we want to go somewhere nice. Carnegie Club seems more upscale/classic (which I love) but Merchants has a tailored whisky/Cigar pairing experience that looks pretty great. Thoughts? TIA
