Now in NYC: links to ongoing exhibtions & shows

Here's the list of what's currently rotating through the museums and on the stages of New York City. The list starts with performances (Broadway, concerts, comedy, etc.) then lists exhibitions (museums, galleries,) then film (mainly festivals and special screenings,) a catch-all category labeled "more" (food events, bizarre goings-on,) and lastly, deals.

Each category is listed with the the soonest-to-close at top. To see what's about to open, check NewYorkology's calendar page.
