THE LEAD / Art after dark
The Whitney lists Free Friday Nights for today, November 13, from 5 to 10 p.m. Admission is free, but tickets are required, capacity is limited and advance booking is recommended. A free-entry programme is not a guarantee that a place remains available.
Tonight’s listed programme includes Emily A. Sprague and LEYA at 6:30 and 8 p.m., alongside short exhibition tours. These are scheduled activities, not performances this edition has attended.
Our editorial take: a museum evening can be a place to meet, listen and talk as well as look. Choose a programme, check its booking conditions and leave room for the art itself.

CITY / Before you head out
New York City’s service dashboard for November 13 lists alternate-side parking as in effect, sanitation collections as on schedule and public schools as open. Those are citywide dashboard notices, not a live guarantee for every street, building or route. Check the relevant agency if you need a specific service.

LOCAL / Brooklyn response update
FDNY published a November 12 notice linking a public-information briefing on the deadly Brooklyn building collapse. The agency dates the briefing to approximately 12:30 p.m. that day and names the mayor, fire commissioner and other city officials as participants. The update concerns the response to the collapse; this brief does not infer a final casualty count or a completed investigation.

Madison Square Garden lists Dave Matthews Band for November 13 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern, with doors at 6:30 p.m. The venue’s Fall Tour 2026 page gives the date explicitly, even where a relative “tomorrow” label appears. We use the dated listing.
