This weekend's guide is full of holiday fun that'll sweep you off your feet. We've nailed down some live concerts that you must hear, providing modern takes on classic tunes and hilarious holiday-themed comedy.
If you're still gift shopping we've scouted some small pop-ups that'll provide you unique picks as well as benefit some great causes. Lastly, we've picked out some physical activities for those looking to liberate themselves from cozy bedroom seclusion. 

Get Your Gifts

It's about more than just shopping and compiling items or material. The seasonal craft fairs of the upper west side are about experiencing the Christmas spirit.
Visitors can survey the participating vendors' elegant art, handmade pieces, edible goods, and more artisan products for sale. If you're adventurous, attend the fair simply to spectate. 

Squeaky Flies

David Lynch's multidisciplinary work is drawing in crowds of art lovers. His "Squeaky Flies in the Mud," speaks to humanity's experience through text and imagery.
The surrealist undertones merge dreamlike visuals with relateable texts that ground viewers. The in-between state of creation makes for an immersive and stimulating event.

Exhibit Destruction

David Datuna became one with the $120,000 work "Banana on the wall," at Art Basel. When the artist took a bite out of the banana, he swears he did so as an act of performance art.
Most are perceiving the act as vandalism or a publicity stunt. What do you make of the incident considering the pieces price point and the prestige of Art Basel?

Protecting Avian Life

New York's architecture is taking a stand to protect birds moving forward. The City Council's new bill will mandate the materials used in building windows to decrease the number of bird deaths taking place.
Thousands of bird collisions end in fatality because of material used now and with the conversion, the new windows would be glazed or patterned to increase visibility. A staggering 230,000 birds die due to imperceptible windows each year.

Eat Your Drink
Sponsored by:


Smith & Sinclair's first-ever USA pop-up is making 'Adult More Fun' for all the grownups of New York! This event is open from Friday, December 6- 22nd.
There will be delicious alcohol-infused gummies and experiences throughout. You can visit this aptly named pop-up, Twisted Cocktails at their Adult Candy Shop on Greenwich Ave. For $40 you will get two hours of sensory-stimulating, adult-like fun.
Come to experience how to smell, sip, lick, and eat your drinks!

Climate Fight

A recent protest took place addressing climate change and it was thanks to 1,000 teens. Although they aren't old enough to vote, the young environmentalists took to City Hall with signs and concerns this past week.
Voicing their concerns about fossil fuel use and damage, the troop garnered plenty of attention. Important issues like deforestation, flooding and more were also brought to the table.

Pooch Takes Limelight

Some panels have a keynote speaker or a special guest and PetCon NYC has Mochi. The pug has gone viral on social media and dog mom Gemma Gené monitors his accounts.
Approximately 288,000 followers adore Mochi online as cartooned by Gené, who is also a talented artist. The 7-year-old pug is the star of her book, “My Life with Mochi" which has allowed Gené to pursue her illustrative career full time. In today's digital age, there's no limit to success.
