It’s hot outside, but things just got hotter in Brooklyn: Brooklyn Salsa, a new BK-based company, is launching this weekend, with salsa samples, sales and live music that is spicing up this weekend. Brooklyn Brewery is throwing in $2 brews all night to cool your palates after a steamy snack.

DRINK
New York has gotten World Cup fever, and where better to watch the games than in the drunken company of other soccer fans? That’s why Mason Dixon, the Lower East Side bar, is offering all-you-can-drink wristbands during every World Cup game; for $40 a pop, it will be paid for in no time. Plus, fans who wear the jersey of a competing team get two-for-one deals all game. Score!

133 Essex St, Manhattan (212-260-4100, masondixonnyc.com
SEE
If you miss the old days of family camping trips and summers hiking through the woods, you’ll get a big dose of nostalgia with Campire, a mysterious urban outing that includes party games, interactive art, costumes and soundscapes to evoke the sensation of sitting around the fire – all in a New York warehouse. RSVP for location details.
Sat, June 19, 10pm; $15
Location TBA; R.S.V.P. at wandbnyc.com/campfire
SHOP
The first of three summer Backyard Bazaars hits Greenpoint this weekend, with a bevy of vintage furniture, clothing, jewelry and crafts by local vendors. Everything is 10% off their original prices, but if that doesn’t induce you to drop some cash, maybe the free booze will: mimosas and beer are complimentary while you browse.
Sat, June 19; free admission
70–72 Greenpoint Ave, Brooklyn; greenpointbackyardbazaar.blogspot.com
