"NYC's Buzzing Sunday: Broadway, Ballgames, and Bodega Bites"

Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in New York City! It’s Sunday, September 7th, 2025, and this is your globetrotting host, Oly Bennet, reporting live from the heart of the city that never sleeps. Grab your bagels and buckle up as we give you the rundown of what’s buzzing across the five boroughs today. New York’s weather is pure September magic—cool breezes, a hint of almost-fall, and the perfect skies for outdoor shenanigans. The city’s current vibe is electric, with crowds converging in Times Square and neighborhoods gearing up for an avalanche of culture, sports, and surprises. First, if you can hear the sound of tap shoes and jazz hands, blame Broadway. Today marks the epic Founded By Broadway concert in Duffy Square, right in Times Square, starting at 11 AM and running till 12:30 PM. It’s free, rain or shine, and features an all-star parade from shows like Aladdin, & Juliet, Wicked, The Lion King, MJ, and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. You basically get the super bowl of Broadway and you don’t even need a ticket—just a heart full of show tunes and maybe a portable chair if you’re low-key competitive about your viewing spot. If your ideal Sunday involves screaming your lungs out for a home run, catch the legendary New York Yankees as they battle it out at Yankee Stadium this afternoon. Fancy a round-two baseball binge? Head over to Citi Field to root for the city’s other team—the underdog Mets—with first pitch flying around 1:40 PM. Not a fan of peanuts and Cracker Jacks? The New York Giants are gearing up for game day, so sports fans, get ready for some gridiron action that will have you high-fiving strangers and questioning your fantasy league decisions. Maybe you’re more about the global festival scene? Get ready for the Queens Night Market tonight in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. This open-air bazaar runs from 4 PM till midnight, promising a riot of flavors from nearly 100 food and art vendors. Every dish maxes out at six bucks, so eat like royalty without needing a king’s ransom. Want to feast like a Latin American legend? While the NY Latin Food Fest technically starts next weekend, some vendors are teasing flavors today at Industry City, with sneak peeks and taste tests setting off a chain reaction of salsa dancing and spontaneous conga lines.
