Mesh Date Night: The Best Things To Do This Week

Alexandra Wee/ Leave a Comment/ 3623

Kick off your weekend in the East Village with Ukrainian dancing then move to Greenpoint for a vegan skin care market. Or, head up to Harlem for Vendy-winning eats and round off in SoHo with a night of international short films. Wherever you start it, we hope your weekend is as good as every weekend should be!

FRI 15: East Village 39th Annual Ukrainian Festival

E. 7th St. between 2nd and 3rd Ave.; all day May 15-18; FREE admission

Eager to re-build after the devastating March fire, the East Village kicks off another year celebrating its vibrant Ukrainian community. Stroll down 7th for a weekend off perogies, kielbasa, and borscht by Veselka and the East Village Meat Market alongside traditional dances, singers and artisan vendors. Grab brews from Jimmy’s No. 43 and toast not only to a rich culture, but to Lower East Side History Month! 

SAT 16: Sarut Spectacular Warehouse Sale

780 Humboldt St., Brooklyn; 11am-4pm; FREE admission

Looking for the perfect kitchen accessory? Quirky jewelry? Floral whistles and a coin purse shaped like a 3D donut? If so, this Greenpoint market gallery is a must see. With Sarut’s fun and innovative array of vendors and goods—think Kikkerland or Fred & Friends meets Urban Outfitters—you’re leaving with something you love. We promise. 

SUN 17: Vendy Plaza at La Marqueta

1590 Park Ave.; 12pm-6pm; FREE admission

Every weekend features kitchen demos and an exclusive rotation of beers and ciders from NYU breweries. 

MON 18: SoHo International Film Festival

Plus, check out the hair braiding station, make-up demos, mini makeovers and a how-to on making your own bitters.

Explore the horror stories that inspired Disney’s whimsical spin-offs. From Rapunzel’s freakish birth to Little Red Riding Hood’s disturbing enemy, Natalie Frank reimagines the famous Grimm’s tales in a dark exhibit of pastel drawings. Unraveling one of the most misunderstood literary forms, Frank dares to illustrate these fairy tales’ seemingly innocent taboos under which lie sexual desires and haunting fascination.
