The first one is usually the best. It's the one that has the most impact on your senses. I saw Varekai as my first one but really liked Alegria and Ka.
If you're going to NY on business, I think your only options are Wintuk if it started and I just checked to see if Banana Shpeel opened and you can buy tickets so looks like you're in luck on that. Ovo won't be in NY until May so you're a little early
