This week in 24/Seven

Each week we'll preview what you can expect in our 24/Seven print edition, out Thursday for you southern Brooklynites and Friday for the downtown neighborhoods.

Highlights include:

Opera: BAM's inaugural opera festival brings Purcell's "The Fairy Queen" in all its glory to Brooklyn, among other highlights.

Meat: The Brooklyn Beefsteak is back at the Bell House.

Music: While SXSW may be all the way in Austin, there are still ways to experience the festival here in Brooklyn.

Food: Eat out at Dine in Brooklyn, the borough's own restaurant week, or cook at home thanks to Daisy Martinez, who recently published her second cookbook, "Daisy: Morning, Noon and Night."

Columns: Pumps & Pleats finds the trendiest boutiques on Kings Highway, while the Klutz makes a grown-up breakfast (no more OJ and Cheerio's) and the Reporter's Table makes a crispy, succulent chicken thanks to a secret ingredient.
