Yay! You’re awake! That’s step one to seizing today. Step two is putting on some pants and moving your bones to Sunnyside, Queens for the tenth annual St. Pat’s for All Parade and Fair. The LGBT- (and anarchist-) inclusive festivities start at 2pm at 43rd Street and Skillman Avenue, and include youth drummers, puppeteers, music makers, proud members of the Niall O’Leary School of Irish Dance and—we hope—plenty of early-afternoon drunks and rabble-rousers wearing head-to-toe green and pinching up a storm.
Come dinnertime, borough-hop your way to 338 Flushing Ave (between Classon and Taffee Aves) in Bed-Stuy: underground party space/dance hall Rubulad is throwing open its doors to artsy, collective-inclined types who will chat up total strangers so long as food is involved. The veg-friendly spread promises to be massive; it’s pay what you wish, BYO alcohol, doors at 6:30pm and dinner at 7. Don’t be fashionably late, though—there are only 40 spots at the trough.
P.S. If you’re gonna eat, take off your coat and stay a while. No one likes a moocher.
