The Weekend: 4.23-4.25

Lots to do this weekend. Here's a look at what's going on in a neighborhood near you (and to try something new, we'll be noting things by neighborhood!):

Friday, April 23

Red Hook: This play is garbage - literally! "A Thousand Thousand Slimy Things" explores what happens to oceans when cleanup stops. Plus, mermaids are thrown in for good measure.

Saturday, April 24

Bushwick: Get in the street art scene at the launch party for the new book, "Street Art New York."

Carroll Gardens: Its 1920s glam at Swing House. Bring your boa.

Greenpoint: In honor of Earth Day, shop eco-consciously at the Handmade Cavalcade.

Sunday, April 25

Williamsburg: Watch as the first ever Mr. Transman gets crowned.

Crown Heights: Hear from the man behind the iconic Obama HOPE poster when Shepard Fairey speaks at the Brooklyn Museum.
