As we saw yesterday, the power is back to most of Manhattan and many more shows are starting to happen. Subways are continuing to get better too. Yesterday we mentioned that the 4, 5, 6, and 7 trains were back up, and now the J and F train are back too. Current subway outage map is here.

Here’s our list of things happening or not happening in NYC on Sunday (11/4).

As mentioned on Saturday, Peter Wolf’s shows are cancelled, but City Winery is opening tonight for a NYC stand-up comedy benefit for Hurricane Sandy victims.

True Stories of Sex, Desire and Romance” show to November 23 and are currently looking for a new location to do tonight’s hurricane relief open mic.

Maxwell’s, which is undamaged, finally got their power back, but unfortunately, “it came too late to enable [them] to host the Crooked Fingers/John Vanderslice show tonight,” so that show has been cancelled.
