Friday, it's Black Friday -- the start of the Christmas shopping season. Not interested in partaking in the shopping storm? Read About.com guide John Roleke's take on avoiding Black Friday in town. And Friday night at sunset, check out dj onda Skillet at AeroTropic: World Series upstairs at Mezzo Mezzo (31-29 Ditmars Blvd). That place has all sorts of things going on, it seems.
This weekend is a fantastic one for classic films at the MMI (35th Ave at 36th St). Saturday they're showing Meet Me In St. Louis, The Wizard of Oz, and Singin' in the Rain. Sunday is the magnificent Gone With the Wind and Brokeback Mountain (6:30). Every single one of these is worth seeing on the big screen! Note that the Museum is closed on Thanksgiving.
For something a little different, movie-wise, head to Hellgate Social (12-21 Astoria Blvd) on Sunday at 8:30 p.m. to see Jingle All the Way, starring California's own Governator, Arnold Schwarzenegger, as a frazzled dad. I was there for movie night last Sunday and it was awesome. Loved the relaxed vibe and the excellent Polish beer. Stop by Saturday night for DJ Lo-Fi, who will undoubtedly be spinning great tunes.
Great recent eats include Guacamole (38-07 Broadway) and Rizzo's Pizza (30-13 Steinway St), and I got to say - check out the coffee at Cafe Expresso (25-51 Steinway St). I had a cappuccino there recently and it was really good! Oh, and by the way, Rose and Joe's Bakery (22-40 31st St) is making little baby cream puffs that are extremely tasty.
Enjoy your turkey weekend!
