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
Play ball and eat pancakes! Brooklyn’s famed High School of Sports brings local sports legends back together for their Champion’ Brunch this weekend. Honorees include Ruth Lovelace, first woman coach to win the Men's PSAL Basketball Championship. Work off the calories by rooting for your favorite celebs at the following Charity Celebrity Softball Game! All proceeds go to scholarships for the school.
Sat, June 5, 10am; $30
Brooklyn Baseball Gallery at MCU Park, 1904 Surf Avenue, Brooklyn; bklynevents.com
DRINK
Maybe you’ve taken up the “eating locally” craze, but what about drinking locally? Luckily it’s easy in Brooklyn this week, because the Fermented NY festival is offering a beer tour of Williamsburg. You’ll taste offerings from four different Brooklyn breweries and over a dozen beers. You’ll never go out of the city for a beer again.
Sat, June 5, 12:30-3:30pm; $55
Meet at Mugs Ale House, 125 Bedford Ave, Brooklyn; urbanoyster.com
SEE
Manhattan’s scenic neighbor, Governor’s Island, is open once again for the summer, this time with a free music series to boot. The opening evening features a set from hipster band Yeasayer, and openers Keepaway and Delicate Steve. When you’re done dancing, take a rest and soak in stellar views of Manhattan (and Jersey, if you’re into that).
Sat, June 5, doors at 6pm, show at 8pm; free

Take all your finds home in a drawstring bag that you helped make!
