Inflation is rising and hitting New York City especially hard. In May 2026, inflation reached 4.2%, its highest level in over three years.

Hamilton, with book, music, and lyrics by Miranda, already has a history of inspiring block party vibes on 46th Street with Ham4Ham, their in-person lottery turned pop-up concert event.
