The goal: Easily see upcoming events from various NYC venues in one place, possibly a Google Calendar.

The problem: Bars and venues all use different sites and apps to manage their event calendars, meaning I have to check EACH one individually. It sucks.

A few venues use Google Calendar, so I've already managed to import those to my own Google Calendar via IFTTT. But the rest use their own website. I've listed all of my desired venues & their calendars below.

My best guess at a solution: Find a way to convert these sites to RSS, then use IFTTT to convert the RSS feeds to Google Calendar entries.

  1. Is that the correct solution?
  2. Does anyone know the best way to do that?

Here are the calendars that I need to convert:

These venues already use Google Calendar, so I've successfully imported them into my Google Calendar.
