Hear Old New York Ghost Stories Live at Joe's Pub

For their annual Halloween stage run, podcast hosts Tom Meyers and Greg Young bring macabre historical tales and forgotten urban legends to Joe's Pub. Rather than jump scares, the two-hour evening explores real historical New York mansions, historic park cemeteries, and eccentric nineteenth-century figures, accompanied by live piano and eerie vocals.

The show runs from Wednesday, October 28, through Saturday, October 31, with two performances daily at 7:00 PM and 9:30 PM. Tickets run 36 dollars on weeknights and 48 dollars on weekends, with doors opening at 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM for the 75-minute performances. Joe's Pub enforces a minimum food or beverage spend of two drinks or one food item per person at the cabaret tables.

When the show ends, Lafayette Street and the surrounding NoHo blocks offer quiet corners to discuss the stories over drinks. Walk down Lafayette Street to Temple Bar for low lighting and classic cocktails, or head two blocks east to The Wren for late kitchen plates and tap beers.
