Your perfect weekend

Sunday, Feb 28

Brooklyn

Ears-deep in a gin hangover from your night of imbibing? Rally your people, curse the G train and hop on (or, if you’re already in the neighborhood, just roll out of bed), and gather in Williamsburg for some hair of the dog. The adorabley retro Lovin’ Cup Caf (93 North 6th St between Berry St and Wythe Ave, 718-302-1180) offers an all-you-can-drink brunch on weekends for a mere $15. Nobody—not even the intimidating Bedford Avenue couple who rolled their eyes at your haircut—will judge you for demanding a bottomless Bloody Mary at an odd hour. The offer is good from 11:30am to 5pm on Saturdays, and 11:30am till midnight on Sundays. Few things top a hazy, half-drunk Sunday in Kings County—unless it’s your worst nightmare. Fear not, Manhattanites. We’ve got you covered, too.—Sharon Steel

Manhattan

Whom do we talk about when we talk about the people who keep making us fall back in love with Manhattan? Lillian Ross, Woody Allen, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Lady Gaga, among many others. And when NPR’s This American Life moved from Chicago to New York City, we were pleased to add its host, Ira Glass, to the list. Tonight, Glass and Jeff Garlin (92nd Street Y, 1395 Lexington Ave at 92nd St, 212-415-5500; 8pm, $27) will converse about the Curb Your Enthusiasm star’s memoir, My Footprint: Carrying the Weight of the World, which wittily chronicles his journey to lessen his physical and carbon footprints. A conversation anyone has with Glass is the sort we’d want to overhear, especially if they’re from New York. Any borough will do.—Sharon Steel
