Something you can actually Go Out to (although it's not quite "live").  Gelsey Bell, that vocal star of NYC Alt Classical, has conceived of a piece that walks you around Green-Wood Cemetery (starting at the Sunset Park Entrance).  You download the soundtrack on your phone beforehand.  Bell wrote the text and narrates, with a co-composing assist from the inestimable Joe White (who seemingly couldn't write an unenjoyable tune if he tried).  The Cemetery itself will do the performing.  (Bell insists you can also enjoy the soundtrack at home without going to the Cemetery, if you're not inclined to travel.)

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Bring bottled water.  As for afterward, 5th Avenue between 40th and 41st Streets is designated for street dining, if you find that compelling.  OTOH:   https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2020/07/23/reckless-driver-plows-into-sunset-park-outdoor-dining-area-injuring-patrons/
