Sometimes it's just as easy as seeing what countries are celebrating their independence day. Try going to that kind of ethnic restaurant on that day - there's bound to be a celebration afoot.

Additionally, visit NYU's Center for Multicultural Education and Programs (CMEP) or even some of the cultural studies departments here on campus. They will have event information laying around or on their websites, i.e. free flamenco, a guest speaker, or an art gallery.

Finally, you can always come to Jarett and ask what's going on in NYC. If he doesn't know, he'll help you find out.
