For every first Tuesday through April, the LMCC and Poetry Society of America bring you Poems & Pints. Each evening, two award winning poets read their own work and favorite poems by others. It all happens in the Nichols Room at Fraunces Tavern, a well-known meeting place since 1762 as well as the site of Washington’s farewell address and the first State and War Departments. Tonight's third reading features Edward Field (a Lambda Literary Award winner and Guggenheim Foundation Fellow) and Vijay Seshadri (a James Laughlin Award winner and recipient of the MacDowell Colony’s Fellowship for Distinguished Poetic Achievement).

Live Flamenco at Luca Bar

FreeNYC Event Flyer

Date: Tuesdays
Time: 8:00pm
Location: Luca Bar (119 St. Marks Place, btw 1st Ave and Avenue A)
Cost: Free

Instead of the usual hump day tomfoolery, why not take a quiet night at Luca Bar. Sip some fine wine (or have a small bite to eat) while listening to live Flamenco music in a chill French Bistro-like setting. We've also been told they have the city's best sangria.

Short Plays about UFO’s and other aliens

FreeNYC Event Flyer

Date: Tuesday, December 2nd
Time: 8:00pm
Location: The Living Theatre (21 Clinton Street)
Cost: Free

Tonight, The Living Theatre presents three free staged readings of an extraterrestrial nature: UFO Story and The Flowers Sing: Strindberg’s Dream by Howard Pflanzer
along with Aporia by Paul David Young "Howard Pflanzer’s plays are eccentric flights of imagination. One explores the personal meaning of unexplained aerial phenomena… the other presents August Strindberg – a playwright not associated with the Living Theatre – as he discovers that iron and sulfur are constituents of gold (!). Mr. Young’s script, on the other hand, takes us to the disturbingly undeniable world of sex and American imperialism… a troubling combination…" All Ages.

FreeNYC Event Flyer

Date: Tuesdays
Time: 10:00pm - late
Location: Happy Ending (302 Broome St at Forsythe)
Cost: Free
Open Bar: Yup, see below

So Tuesdays seem to to be the day for free boozin lately and Happy Ending seems to take the cake with two separate parties and two separate open bars. First, 66Sick girls take on one floor (with guest Cobra Krames this week) and bring you electro-glammed out trashyness in the basement with a full hour of open bar from 11-12. While upstairs, the Disco Down crew bring some 80's love to the floor with an open vodka bar from 11:30-12. Seems like if you like free boozin, this is the place to be tonight. 21+

Eastenders

FreeNYC Event Flyer

Date: Tuesdays
Time: 10:00pm - late
Location: The Skinny (174 Orchard St at Stanton St)
Cost: Free

"This party may be more Lower East Side than East End, but that won’t stop its organizers from their stated goal of supplying a spot “for people looking to escape the current doom and gloom of nightclubbing.” Paisley Dalton (from London’s Ghetto club) and the Ones’ Jojo Americo spin a mixed bag of tunes to a mixed crowd of revelers, while Nomi from Hercules and Love Affair, Sophia Lamar, Evan Monster, Murphy and Soigne Deluxe serve as hosts." via TimeOutNY. 21+
