Not sure why it is all javascript. The functionality is nothing special. The things you do with Javascript are annoying to me (popup windows that are no browser/OS-controlled windows).
Apart from that it seems nice. Seemingly good results for my non-USA hometown which is rare.
also the results show events that were only temporary and are already over .i only checked Hamburg, Germany and the first 2 results are temporary events that are over.
I can't middleclick on results meaning that I cannot make tabs of things I am interested in. Not sure why it is all javascript. The functionality is nothing special.

Alternative browsing method might be using Next/ Previous buttons inside lightbox, or left right arrows on keyboard
I really liked it - tried it out for my hometown here in the UK and got some pretty pertinent results. One thing though - why is there no persistence of my facebook opt-in choice across the session? For instance, if I tried 'Oxford', and then 'London', I was prompted for facebook permissions both times - was that by design?
Same experience here - your app re-prompted me for Facebook for each city, so each time I had to say no. Would be better if you could ask once, not each time.
I imagine it's going to be hard to present information in the same way for large and small towns... Maybe you need some kind of a city/busy/crowded interface to give categories and narrow down, but for a little place without much of interest you just showed paged and ranked like this? Like, "entertainment in Chicago" or "food in Los Angeles" are way too broad a category to present in this format.
When I click Places, then Arts & Entertainment, a little cross appears next to the A&E.. i don't know if clicking it will take me back to all types of events.. or will show me all events minus A&E... that part isnt very intuitive
Clicking All on the left points strongly to the right.. as if it refers uniquely to the event types and not the column as well..
– The search UX isn't very good. I sat there for 20-30 seconds after typing "detroit" in the box and clicking on the greyed-out button (not clear that's a deactivated state until you see green) before realizing that i had to make a selection from the drop down. I would add a notification with instructions upon clicking on the greyed out one at the least. Additionally, even after typing "Detroit, MI" in the box, an exact match, i had to click it in the dropdown. Don't like that at all.
– Facebook popup after searching was a bit in-your-face for me. Plain annoying for the second and third searches. Searching nearby cities can give new, useful results, so I'd love to see an additional search input on the results page. (http://cl.ly/0s0b420a0q3p1K2m1y0Q looks like a good spot)
– Infinite scroll would be great on the results page, as the app seems to be great for browsing through many thumbnails and discovering a few new things.
Nice job though! I found many things around me that I hadn't heard of before. Great start.
