The Day: New Plays, Feminist Art and a Holiday Fair at MoCADA

Good morning, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.

As nice as last night’s snow was, the rain that crept in will stay with us for most of today – until 3 p.m. or so, according to the National Weather Service. Make sure to remember your umbrellas and raincoats on your way out this morning.
