Sports

Saturday, December 15th – Jason Kidd and the New York Knicks host the Cleveland Cavaliers at MSG on Saturday night.

Music & Entertainment

Friday, December 14th – Movie release day. Quiet night tonight? Check out this huge flick which is most definitely an unexpected journey! Director, Peter Jackson returns to holy ground with his Lord of the Rings prequel, “The Hobbit” (PG-13).

Many of the familiar faces from the original trilogy will be returning to satisfy any fans hunger!

Friday, December 14th – Saturday, December 15th – It appears the post-grunge movement still has plenty of blood running through it’s veins. Road dogs and Indie studio darlings, Nada Surf have been steadily releasing new material long past their one major MTV hit, “Popular.” If you have only heard this long faded single then you have a ton of choice tracks to catch up on. Luckily the band is playing all weekend here in NYC. Unfortunately, it’s sold out so be sure to hold up one finger and hope for a miracle ticket. (Bowery Ballroom)

Nightlife

Friday, December 15th – You’ve waited all year and it’s finally here. Throw on your trendiest reds and greens and get on line for Pacha’s Holiday Party!

If you arrive before midnight it’s free entry, but you need to be on the list! (Pacha NYC)
