1 Dinner
Sipping Earl Grey might be as sexy as granny panties, but at the cozy Roebling Tea Room you don’t have to limit yourself to geriatric drinks (our pick: apple cider spiked with Rittenhouse rye, $16 for two). Prove to that hottie that you’re not afraid of dying young by biting into delicious-but-life-shortening bratwurst sandwiches ($20 for two). 143 Roebling St at Metropolitan Ave, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (718-963-0760)
2 Concert
See what the kids in Tunisia are grooving to by hopping two blocks to Middle Eastern lounge Sultana. On Saturday 15 from 9pm until midnight, the joint will be hosting the Sha’abi Shake Down, a free concert that’s part of the Brooklyn Maqam Arab Music Festival. Share a strawberry hookah ($10 for one) while kicking back to tunes by Moroccan-Sephardic fusion ensemble Asefa. 160–2 North 4th St between Bedford and Driggs Aves, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (718-218-8545)
