FREE Holiday Soul Spectacular Tonight

Dudes, it’s cold outside. I totally get that you are pretty comfortable in your apartment under that electric blanket of yours, but tonight the enigmatic ladies from old-school soul outfit The Sweet Divines are warming things up with their first holiday spectacular at Lincoln Center.

No Frills, Just Music at The Stone

Like most cool things in NYC, The Stone is hard to find. Not because it’s the next super swanky “knock three times and wink suggestively while purring like a cat” to get in hot spot (do those really exist, by the way? I haven’t been invited yet…), but because the

Dance, Drink and Do Good at Physical Action Tonight
