Start your week off with a BIG laugh. JFL42 (Just for Laughs) is an interactive comedy festival happening all around the city for 10 days.

Seth Meyers, Wanda Sykes and the quirkiest assistant in television right now, Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Chelsea Peretti are among those to look forward to.

After building up an appetite, you deserve to dig into a hefty cut of USDA Angus steak at Day & Night Angus Steak and Raw Bar.
