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
Embrace your southern roots and get on down to the crawfish boil at Sycamore. Just $15 scores you a whopping bucketful of the little snappers and a beer to wash ‘em down. Ask locals for their eating technique; there’s a skill to getting all the meat!
Sun, May 23, 2pm
Sycamore, 1118 Cortelyou Road, Brooklyn
DRINK
Two of our favorite things – books and booze – join forces on Saturday night at Books Through Bars, which collects donated books to send reading material to prisoners. Donate a paperback dictionary and get a free drink, plus other prizes.
Sat, May 22, 10pm
Enid’s, 560 Manhattan Ave, Brooklyn
SEE
Bring your overalls and flannel shirts to Brooklyn’s folk fest, bringing together a variety of musical styles under one down-home roof. From folk bands to jug bands, you’ll enjoy great tunes and get down on the dance floor with a square dance.
Sat and Sun, May 22-23
The Jalopy Theater, 315 Columbia Street, Brooklyn
SHOP
We love Williamsburg boutique Catbird, but it does take a toll on our bank account. Not this weekend! Their sidewalk sale brings all the merch down to a price we can afford – almost everything is under $20, and they’ll throw in some free chocolate too!
Sat and Sun, May 22-23
Catbird, 219 Bedford Ave, Brooklyn
PLAY
Take an early summer vacation and get to the beach! POGO Events is taking our popular races to Long Beach for a scavenger hunt and obstacle course around the sunny city! Local bars will be hosting challengers and offering specials for the racers all day. Plus, the winners receive $500, so you’ll be able to take a real vacation later on!
Sat, May 22, 11:30am
Long Beach Boardwalk at New York Ave, Long Beach, NY
