What’s Happening This Weekend?: Our Picks

Every weekend, we're bringing you five of our top events picks from around NYC. Check back next week for more ways you can eat, drink, see, shop and play around the city!

EAT

Get a head start on St. Patrick’s Day at Ulysses’ Folk House, the classic Irish pub that has Patty’s-themed events all week long. Our favorite? Their Cobblestone Brunch, featuring unlimited servings of sausage, omelets, oysters, pastries from Financier, and of course, corned beef. A complimentary Guinness makes it a true St. Patrick’s Day treat.

Sun March 14, 11am-4pm, $20

95 Pearl Street / 58 Stone Street, Manhattan

DRINK

Celebrate the opening of West 3rd Common, a new addition to the Washington Square bar scene, with a free glass of beer or wine, plus a free order of garlic fries for the table, when you tell them the code word (“wheaten terrier”). Then sip on your drink while enjoying the bar’s selection of board games with friends.

Through March 31; free

1 W. 3rd St, Manhattan

SEE

It's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights. It's time to meet the Muppets with a sing-along screening of The Muppet Movie at the Knitting Factory. Watch the movie and join in with subtitled song selections. Fans of Kermit, Fozzie and the gang will also enjoy Muppet trivia and drink specials honoring the fuzzy friends.

Sun, March 14, 2:15 PM; $7.00

361 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn

SHOP

Pick up a vintage handbag or decorate your apartment with one-of-a-kind pieces from the Pier Antiques Show. With over 500 vendors joining the crowd, you’ll find everything from classic LPs to chandeliers while browsing this lineup along the Hudson. Curious collectors can also bring items to be appraised – You might have something valuable on your hands!

Sat and Sun, March 13-14, 10am-6pm; free

Pier 94, 12th Ave at 55th St, Manhattan

PLAY

Bring your puppy or just watch the canine competitors at Brooklyn’s Mutt Show. See who will win the crown in events like Sloppiest Kisser, Looks Most Like Owner and Most Nutritionally Advantaged (Fattest). Puppy costumes will also be judged, so be ready to face the cuteness.

Sat and Sun, March 13-14, 11am-7pm; $5 to watch, $10 to enter
