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
In case you missed last week’s Meatopia – the biggest celebration of meat in NYC since Katz’s Delicatessen – you can still indulge your carnivorous side at 3rd Ward’s Third Annual Pig Out. House-made sides of pickles and cole slaw will accompany the main event: a 200-pound roast pig. Take a few hours to digest while listening to local band’s paeans to pork.
Sun, July 18; 2-9pm
195 Morgan Ave, Brooklyn; 3rdward.com
DRINK
The World Cup may be over but you can still support your favorite team – through your beer selection. Get an international beer tour at the Village Pourhouse this weekend, where samples from over 50 beers from Finland to Japan will give you a chance to select and root for your favorite team. Plus, free brewery swag will be available for all participants.

Who’s the freshest kid on the block? Check out the rad display of breakdancing skills at El Musea del Barrio’s block party. Two competitors at a time will face off in a head-to-head breakdancing battle, working up to the night’s final match that will determine the Barrio’s Freshest. If you’re feeling a little too creaky to enter, you might feel more comfortable in the afternoon’s Hula Hoop contest instead, where at least you’ll keep both feet on the ground.
