Top Events for January in NYC

One of the best events to check out going on now through the 8th is the New York National Boat Show. It is the perfect time to start thinking about summer and the water. The Boat Show takes place at the Javits Center. You will find everything here to enjoy the water in from fishing boats to the most luxurious yachts.

Also happening now and through the 8th is the Under the Radar Festival. This annual is put on by The Public Theater. It displays new theater events from throughout the US and internationally. This is a great place to find out what is going on and to see some of the most experimental performances.

Do not forget about the Pro Bull Riders Event. It is officially the Pro Bull Riders Madison Square Garden Invitational and it runs through the 8th. There is nothing like a bull ride competition in the heart of NYC. You will be able to see all of the pros and interact with the various exhibits.
