Shimmy and groove at Lola Star's Dreamland Roller Disco
Tonight's theme is "hair metal," so tease your mane and amp your air guitar moves to the max, because prizes are going out to best dressed on the rink. Last year's big event sold out so make sure you get there with plenty of time to rent your skates. 
Lakeside at Prospect Park, 7:30; $18

Watch an outdoor screening of the original dance-off aka West Side Story
The Metropolitan Opera's 2015 Summer HD Festival kicks off with the classic Natalie Wood musical that melted hearts across America. Who can forget the Romeo and Juliet-like couple Maria and Tony singing "One Hand, One Heart"? Whether you want an uber-romantic date night or a sappy solo affair, Tony is calling your name... if your name is Maria.
Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center, 8pm, free

Channel your most embarrassing Carrie Bradshaw moments at Awkward...Sex and the City
You're not alone! Hilarious writers and comedians candidly share their worst sexual encounters and dating fails at tonight's show. Don't be alarmed at the location (it's in the basement of a sex shop on the Upper East Side)—it adds to the ambience! Bonus: free wine and beer all night to help you forget those cringe-worthy memories. 
The Pleasure Chest, 8 or 10 pm; $15, $20 at the door
