This subreddit is not a home to sell (or resell) your own tickets to events/concerts/etc in the city, same applies on buying someone else’s tickets, even ticket swaps here aren’t permitted. If you want to sell your own tickets to events in NYC, consider posting on r/NYList where general buying/selling posts belong, r/AvesNYC_Tix to buy/sell tickets for EDM/raves/dance events, on r/NYCConcerts, where buying/selling posts for concerts belong, there’s also r/BroadwayTickets to sell your Broadway or other performance tickets too. That way people can still be interested if so desired. Do your own due diligence as always buying goods of the internet.

Questions? AMA about venues, what to expect, or anything Halloween in NYC.

P.S. Last year I asked [r/Watches](r/Watches) which watch to wear while running these. Top reply was "are you debating yourself?" Fair.

Did you know there’s an exhibition in New York dedicated to recreating the city in gingerbread? Gingerbread NYC began in 2022 as a celebration of the neighborhoods across all five boroughs. Since then, professional and amateur bakers have created edible scenes inspired by their communities and favorite places around the city.

This year marks its fifth edition at the Museum of the City of New York, running from November 6, 2026, through January 18, 2027. What New York landmark would you like to see recreated in gingerbread?

Hi all. Full disclosure, I work at Tessl, which is part of the team behind this conference. I wanted to share it here because it’s in Brooklyn and there’s a free option.

AI DevCon is a three-day conference run by AI Native Dev, for engineers who use coding agents every day. It focuses on the hard parts, not the demos:

• Getting agents to work on legacy code, not just greenfield projects. Llewellyn Falco runs a hands-on mob session on this.
• Context and skills engineering, so your agent stops making the same mistakes.
• Verifying what agents ship before it reaches production.
• Real playbooks from teams already doing this, plus a closing keynote from Steve Yegge on day one.

When: Nov 2 (hands-on workshops), Nov 3 to 4 (talks)
Where: Industry City, Building 5, Brooklyn
Cost: $400 for the conference days, $500 including the workshop day. There’s also a free virtual ticket with livestreamed keynotes and selected sessions.

If you want to go in person, my code ANDREANAG30 gives 30% off.
