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
Roast lamb, lamb kebabs, lamb chops … lamb ice cream? Feast on 20 different chefs’ creative take on lamb at the Lamb Takedown this Sunday at the Bell House. Then vote for the winner and take home a bag of lamb swag – and a full stomach.
Sun, April 18, 4pm; The Bell House, 149 7th St, Gowanus, Brooklyn
www.chili-takedown.com; $15
DRINK
Grab a friend and celebrate the spring weather with Jamba Juice’s best annual deal: buy any drink on the menu, get a second one free. Whether lemonade, wheatgrass, or smoothie, you’ll quench your thirst twice! The promotion lasts until April 25, so we plan on being regular customers this week.
Sat and Sun; all Jamba Juice locations

SEE
Get a first glimpse of one of New York’s newest houses of history, the Museum of the American Gangster. The exhibits offer a look into the seedy underbelly of old New York, from old mobsters’ weapons to a tour behind the scenes of an authentic speakeasy. Stop by before the crowds find out.
Sat, April 17, 12pm-4pm; 80 St. Marks Pl at First Ave
800-603-5520, $10
SHOP
Get a blast from the past this Saturday, New York’s annual Record Store Day. Although the antiquated machines are becoming retro-cool again, you can enjoy the festivities no matter what format your music is in. Find deals on rare and limited edition LPs, or just enjoy the live music and DJs spinning throughout the day.
Sat, April 17; locations and times vary

PLAY
Get back to the good old days on the playground with NYC’s Street Games, sponsored by the New York Parks Department. Jump ropes, pogo sticks, hula hoops and all kinds of other equipment will be on hand for some old-timey fun. Plus, skateboarding competitions and a performance by Dance Theatre of Harlem will give you a chance to catch your breath.
Sat, April 17; 11am-4pm. Thomas Jefferson Park, First Ave between 111th and 114th Sts, Manhattan
