South Slope Events Spotlight: February 14 – 17

From teen angst to jazz hands, there are a million things to do in South Slope this weekend. These are our top picks:

Thursday, January 14

We can’t think of a better way to spend your Valentine’s Day than listening to some of the finest examples of teen angst known to man. Come Cringe at Freddy’s (627 5th Ave), as brave souls read from their “teenage diaries, journals, notes, letters, poems, abandoned rock operas, and other general representations of the crushing misery of their humiliating adolescence.” The fun kicks off at 7:30. No cover.

Friday, January 15

Mary’s Bar (708 5th Ave) has DJ Hearsay kicking it old school with vinyl records all night long. No cover.

Saturday, January 16

Brooklyn Lacrosse will be holding the second of three FREE clinics this Saturday at P.S. 10 (511 7th Ave). Kids from PK – 8th Grade are invited to attend. Sign up online for one of three time slots:

PK – 2nd Grade: Noon – 1pm

Girls 3rd Grade – 8th Grade: 1pm – 2pm
