This Week In NYC
This week, CultureCon transforms the Duggal Greenhouse in Brooklyn. The event, described as a cultural homecoming for Black creatives, runs from September 28 through October 1.
Oktoberfest has also arrived. Bars and beer halls across the city are observing the occasion with beer steins and appropriate appetites.
For those whose tastes run more toward the macabre, the Halloween season begins with the opening of BloodManor, a 10,000-square-foot haunted house in Manhattan.
The subway platform soundtrack is heading above ground.
