Wednesdays are rough - colloquially referred to as the hump day of the week, it's usually a relatively unexciting day. Regardless of how your Wednesday is going (flying by or dragging on), there's at least one piece of exciting news for this day. For New Yorkers, this is the day of the week that each new Village Voice is released!
A free publication like AM New York and the Metro, the Village Voice is well known around the New York City. It may not have the daily crosswords and sudokus to keep you occupied like the free daily publications, but it IS a great guide to the arts scene of the city. While the other free publications do offer some city guides and upcoming events, the Village Voice should be your go-to guide if you're looking for a unique event. They break up their offerings into different sections such as Music, Dance, Art, Movies, and Food, and they talk about new openings, one time events, and ongoing offerings. Each issue has listings of events for the coming week, as well as numerous reviews.
I'm very fond of the Village Voice - it has entertaining news articles, and has always paid a fair amount of attention to the city's dance scene even when other papers would only allow a column for all of the dance events and reviews. Some of their classifieds and ads may be a little seedy at times, but this paper is an excellent guide to what you should attend each weekend (or even during the week!). So, if you're not sure what to see or do one day and I haven't posted anything to your liking recently, pick up a copy of this publication on a nearby street corner. It's free and always worth flipping through - it focuses on a lot of the downtown scene, but includes events throughout the city. You can also visit it online and find more information on upcoming events, reviews, and headlines.
