A way into your city.

Follow a scene. Find the people and places behind it. Make a plan worth leaving home for.

Culture happens between people

The Place to Be brings together public events, venues, and organizers so you can follow a cultural scene beyond a single calendar. We are starting with Brooklyn and nearby New York neighborhoods, from readings and independent performance to screenings, music, and launch parties.

A catalogue in progress

Listings come from reviewed public sources and submissions. Coverage is incomplete. We link to original listings so you can check times, prices, accessibility, and admission details before making a plan. Unknown information stays unknown.

Make it yours

Choose interests and neighborhoods, follow organizers and places, and save events. Recommendations use those preferences and catalogue information; they are suggestions, not guarantees.
