Sometimes it can be hard to figure out what to do over the weekend. In a city like New York, there are just too many options. Fortunately, AVENUE’s editors have put their collective heads together and come up with a few suggestions, ranging from an immersive musical experience to an exhibition of jewelry. What unites them all is that they’re worth your time.
