Some highlights from TONY: If the new Cosmos TV series has you wanting more of astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, head for the Hayden Planetarium, where he narrates the Dark Universe space show every half hour from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ($27); for tonight's fun and games, check out Linda Loves Bingo, free, at Cibar Lounge on Irving Place, with drag hostess Linda Simpson.

It's the first 60plus-degree day since Dec. 23, 2013. Spend 30 minutes in Central Park. Use this interactive map from the Central Park Conservancy to find a spot you've never visited.
