I did it twice: one was orchestra right and the other was orchestra left. Both were maybe 10 rows back and had great views.

Haha, I sure hope so, considering I spent quite a long time assembling it myself!

Oh, that makes me so happy to hear! I've been to a few of their Math Encounters talks before. Once it was even a former professor of mine! Every time it's different than I expect and so fascinating.

I really wanted to include that, actually! The only issue was I was trying very hard to make sure every event was within the five boroughs of NYC. I love the idea of expanding what sports one can see being played professionally around here.

YES - I'm a HUGE Broadway fan and tried to be extremely selective in which Broadway show I would call out. I also tried to have most of the events be free or at least affordable. (Though with lottery, rush, etc., it is certainly possible to see a Broadway show for much less than the default price on the ticketing site.)
In addition to Peter Pan Goes Wrong, there's also the currently-playing Off-Broadway Play That Goes Wrong.
And if I were to promote one more Broadway show for March, Dancin' begins previews on March 2. Personally I'm counting down the days to see that one!!

I'll add one more art pick on top of yours: Cy Twombly at the Gagosian on 980 Madison Avenue.
It's a BREATHTAKING collection of late career works by him and closes March 4. Easily my favorite art show so far in 2023.
Thank you for sharing!

It's not easy!! My starting point is a very long list of bookmarked calendars that I go through one at a time. Then it becomes a giant Google Search problem, where I'm trying different dates, boroughs, and event types until I've got something for every day.

Thank you for that! I will keep those in mind when figuring out March.

The starting point is a gigantic list of NYC venues and performing groups that I have personally saved as a folder of bookmarks. Many are places I've been and groups I've seen, but by no means all. I assembled it a while ago but never had an outlet to use it! After that it was trying a variety of search terms like "solo recital NYC," "NYC society events," and "2023 tour dates NYC."
TimeOut is nice, but it doesn't account for many small, niche venues, and it is just insane how much there is to do in this city!

Thank you—I appreciate the feedback! The arts are what I know best and thus easiest for me to research and gauge the "coolness" of. What other sorts of events would you be interested in seeing?

Please see u/IIAOPSW's previous reply to you. I'll repeat a variation of their question: why exactly is it morally reprehensible, in your view, for an 18 year old to be in a relationship with another older adult? Again, assume the relationship isn't based on power or manipulation or anything like that—just two people with an age gap who swiped right on Tinder and met up.

Yeah, this seems like a big ol' "duh" to me. I'll take the hypothetical even further. What if an 18 year old and 48 year old are in a consensual relationship that isn't based on power or manipulation and isn't hurting anybody else? Why should anyone else care? People in general just seem to have a hard time letting other people do what makes them happy when they wouldn't do it themselves.
