TICKETS + INFORMATION

New York’s crack Gamelan Dharma Swara presents small-band gamelan with Balinese dance accompaniment. Gamelan — an orchestra of gongs — is transfixing and invigorating, and the accompanying dance style, highly formal but immediately communicative, is, too. Just the thing for when you’re looking out over the water at New Jersey.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: It was hard to believe the original iteraton of the brasserie Pastis was good, and it’s even harder to believe the new iteration is. But it is.
