Onyx is a much-talked-about, highly eclectic New York avant-jazz collective (but don't let that scare you:  they care about FUN).  Their NYXO series features like-minded musicians from the variety of different genres that abound in New York.  If you have any kind of open mind about music, this show is for you.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  To say that Randall's Barbecue is getting mixed notices might be kind.  The problem is that its drawing card might turn out to be its flaw:  in keeping with the neighborhood, it aims to reflect Ashkenazic Jewish food in its 'cue.  As any of us who grew up in that tradition can tell you, however, one ineluctable feature of Ashkenazic cooking is dry, tasteless meat -- exactly what you don't want from barbecue.  I still find the conceit so enticing, though, that I'm not willing to write this place off.
