Welcome back to New York Locals 👋 

Each week we round up the best of the city—new openings, events, and things to do—plus custom maps, and the latest laughs from our iconic @newyorkers column.

⋆⭒TOP 5 WEEKEND ACTIVITIES⋆⭒

1. A New Greek Fast-Casual Spot Opens on McDougal

Gyro City just opened on McDougal Street, serving Greek fast-casual done right with fresh, affordable plates made from organic produce and classic imports like olive oil and tzatziki. 🇬🇷 Generous portions, a wide menu, and Greek fries worth the stop.

2. Disco Balls, Ceviche & Strong Drinks at IKON

IKON New York is uptown Manhattan’s first supper club, blending Peruvian and Dominican flavors with disco-ball energy, craft cocktails, and a scene that feels like a celebration from the jump. Come for the ceviche and lomo saltado, stay for the vibe that turns dinner into a whole night. ✨

3. Free Salsa Nights Are Back at the Brooklyn Museum

Free salsa nights are back at the Brooklyn Museum, February 12th , kicking off with a beginner lesson at 6pm followed by live music, performances, and open social dancing. Admission is limited and first come, first served—so show up early and be ready to move. 💃🔥

4. Your Chance to Move for Free at ESTIA Williamsburg

ESTIA House of Movement is a woman-owned movement studio in Williamsburg offering beginner-friendly dance and movement classes for all ages, from Pilates and Strength to Ballet and Hip Hop. Rooted in community and creativity, the space also hosts performances—and right now, you can enter to win a five-class adult pack. 🩰✨

5. Small Business Spotlight: Tokyo Record Bar

At Tokyo Record Bar, dinner is guided by vinyl, with guests choosing records that shape the night’s mood. ♫ Created by Ariel Arce, the experience flows from a downstairs seven-course izakaya-style omakase by Ignacia Valdés to an upstairs cocktail bar serving Japanese-inspired plates and couture drinks. 🍹
