On October 9 -- which would have been John Lennon's 70th birthday -- City Winery hosts a tribute concert for the former Beatle, featuring live performances from Kimya Dawson, Freedy Johnston, and more. A special "Imagine" wine flight, curated by the winery, will accompany each set. City Winery, 155 Varick St at Vandam St. . . . Oct 9 at 9pm; $95-$225.

If John were still with us I think he'd say, "Imagine enjoying a series of buttery chardonnays and full-bodied merlots while being serenaded by half the Moldy Peaches and somebody who peaked at #54 on the Billboard Hot 100, for just a couple hundred bucks. Now it isn't hard to do!"
