The 8 Nights of Hanukkah with Yo La Tengo
Friday, December 4, 2026 · 7:30 PM · Bowery Ballroom, Manhattan
The Read
The Hanukkah run has been going since 2001 and the format has never changed: a comedian, an opener nobody announced, and a set where the covers outnumber the originals. Proceeds go to charity and the guest list is the draw.
The Venue
Bowery Ballroom
6 Delancey St
Primarily a live-music hall, Bowery Ballroom occasionally makes sense for comedy when a touring comic needs a proper stage rather than a club setup.

Shape The Night
Before
Spicy VillageA narrow Henan kitchen on Forsyth Street, open since 2010 and built around one dish. Big tray chicken arrives bone-in with potatoes in a chili-oil broth deep enough to take hand-pulled noodles, and a tray feeds three or four people. Cash only, no reservations, and you can carry your own beer in.

After
Katz's DelicatessenCutters have been hand-slicing pastrami behind this counter since 1888 and the ticket handed to you at the door is still the system. Order at the counter, tip the cutter, and you eat sooner than a table would let you. It runs straight through Friday and Saturday nights.
