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
Take a culinary tour around the world without leaving Hell’s Kitchen in the annual Ninth Avenue International Food Festival. Sample local vendors’ offerings from Spain, India, Thailand, and the Caribbean – and, of course, the US will be represented as well, with good ol’ apple pie from the Little Pie Company.
Sat and Sun, May 15-16, 9:30am-6:30pm; pay as you go
Ninth Ave, from 42nd-57th Streets, Manhattan

DRINK
For a night of mystery, suspense and a healthy dose of booze, head to the Soviet-themed bar Pravda on Sunday for the launch of Moscow Noir, NYC’s latest niche literary journal. Contributors will read their Russian crime fiction while bartenders freely dole out the obligatory shots of vodka, for a truly Russian evening.
Sun, May 16, 7pm; free
281 Lafayette St, Manhattan
212-226-4944; pravdany.com
SEE
You’re more likely to see a show in Times Square than be in one, but now you can do both! Perhaps the smallest theater to grace the Great White Way, Theatre for One in Times Square is a box just big enough to fit two people: you and the artist. You’ll be so up close and personal to the performance that it’ll be hard to tell where to draw the line between actor and audience.
Sat and Sun, May 15-26; 1-3pm, 4-6pm, 7-9pm
Duffy Square (at Broadway and 47th Street), Manhattan

SHOP
For those who wonder exactly what Greenpointers do all day, now’s your chance to find out! Get a taste of all Greenpoint has to offer at the Total Franklin Street Immersion Event, where local shops will be offering deals all day long. From vinyl at Permanent Records to quirky décor at Kill Devil Hill to books at the welcoming WORD, you’ll find many reasons to return to the ‘hood.
Sat, May 15, noon-7pm; free
Franklin Ave, Brooklyn
