Friday, October 23, 2026, 1:30 AM - 3:00 AM · Caveat, Lower East Side, New York City
A 9th annual Halloween puppet slam brings hand, string, shadow, and mechanical puppeteers to Caveat for one night. The lineup includes Brian Carson & Silly Willy, Drolly Theater, Gil Verrelli, and several other acts, with tickets priced at $25.
A basement speakeasy-style stage tucked under Clinton Street, Caveat blends smart nights with late drinks and oddball programming. You’ll find lectures, improv, live podcasts, game shows, and wildly niche performance art all in a 110-seat setting with cabaret tables and a bar that sells “cheap drinks.” The space feels equal parts library club and fringe theater, where your next drink might come with a side order of ideas.
From Empanada Mama. Vegan and veggie options too
Buttered popcorn with a full DIY seasonings bar. Vegan butter option
All mixed drinks here are soju-based instead of spirits. $10-12
