The Weekender
Have you got plans for your mom all ready? The neighborhood abounds with brunch options: Brick Cafe, Grand Cafe, Cafe Bar, Mary Maguire's even Mundo is getting in on the action this year offering both brunch and a complimentary glass of champagne for mom. If you're planning dinner Brick, Locale, Cavo and Mundo are all excellent choices. Stop by Candy Plum to pick her up a one of a kind present. Or museum hop with her. Whatever you decide make it special and make it all about mom.
Before being the good son or daughter you all know you are head over to Waltz and be the good beer taster you know you are. Tonight at 9 for a participation fee of $15 sample 2 warm up beers and 5 tasting beers to help Waltz decide what to carry. Snacks and tunes provided as well.
Saturday Waltz has a double music bill happening with singers Nicole Collins and Jenn Friedman. 9pm start, $5 cover and a one drink minimum. I call that a deal.
Hellgate Social has DJ Moses spinning tonight and DJ Lo-Fi spinning tomorrow. They also have an as yet not disclosed movie Sunday night.
Don't forget that the Water Taxi Beach is open these lovely weekends leading up to the unofficial start of summer-Memorial Day.
Starting this weekend, yoga and tai chi return to Socrates Sculpture Park and they are joined by Capoeira (a lively martial art that originated in Brazil over 450 years ago. Self-defense techniques are concealed by graceful dance moves and spectacular acrobatics set to music.)
Yoga is Saturdays 11-12. Capoeira is right after from 12-1:30. And Tai Chi is Sundays at 11:00.
Tickets are now available for the Chocolate Factory Theatre's benifit Taste of LIC.
Make it a good one!

Jen, my daughter and I are taking my mom to Il Bambino on 31st Avenue between 34th and 35th Street for Mother's Day. It's an Italian pannini place par excellence, with out of this world cupcakes for dessert and Manhattan-quality lattes. Bambino has become the "command post" for artsy types that live in the area and those attracted to the vintage shops along the avenue. Everything is top quality, reasonably priced, and you can bring your own bottle of wine or beer. Billy, one of the baristas, painted the huge red pig on the wall, a guide to many of the Italian meats in the sandwiches. It's open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Thanks...i know about Il Bambino i just still haven't gotten to give them a try just yet.
glad to know more people enjoy them. i just hope they are not too popular when i finally get there.
