New York's best

Reading series where audience members actually acknowledge each other’s existence
1. The FSG Reading Series
  Yeah, it’s kind of a publishing-nerd scene, but in the best way possible. Held upstairs at the fabled Russian Samovar (Susan Sontag hung out there, blah blah blah), this series, organized by the venerable publisher FSG, introduces you to writers established, up-and-coming and simply good. Since it functions as sort of a party, a lot of people hang around afterward, scratching their chins, getting hammered on grappa—you know, literary stuff. 256 W 52nd St between Broadway and Eighth Ave (212-257-0168)
2. The Happy Ending Series
  Curated by author Amanda Stern, this series recently made the move from Chinatown’s Happy Ending Bar to a larger space at Joe’s Pub. And no wonder: Under Stern’s guidance, excellent authors read and humiliate themselves. It’s simply the most energetic series out there. 425 Lafayette St between Astor Pl and E 4th St (212-539-8778, amandastern.com/happyending.html)
