You know how there are some shows that you just know are going be lame, but you find yourself compelled to go anyway? Here, the New York Phil pays what will undoubtedly be an exceedingly earnest musical tribute to its native city. Various chamber ensembles made of Philharmonic players will be strewn throughout the Cemetery; you are led to them as part of a guided informative walk. Expect a lot to be made of Leonard Bernstein's grave. My advice is to really load up on the whiskey (they say it's free, but come on: tickets are 100 Fucking Dollars) at the tasting that precedes each performance.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: You deserve one of the Slovak-style fried dough-encased burgers at Korzo.
