’Hoods at the Hall
Saturday, May 12: Brooklyn’s changing all around us, but that’s nothing new. Stop by Borough Hall to hear veteran community leaders discuss the revival of the borough. At 3:30 pm, writer Pete Hamill will host an interactive town hall meeting.
10 am at Borough Hall (209 Joralemon St. at Cadman Plaza West in Brooklyn Heights). Free. For information, call (718) 951-5581.
Mom’s omelet
Sunday, May 13: Plenty of spots are participating in DUMBO’s “Brunch Under the Bridges” Mother’s Day event, but Superfine and Bubby’s have the best deals for Mom. Superfine’s offering Mom any drink she wants on the house while Bubby’s has a complimentary bouquet.
A novel idea
Wednesday, May 16: Park Sloper Ellen Shanman will read tonight from her novel, “Right Before Your Eyes.” The story’s about a down-and-out writer making her way in the world — not too far a stretch for this debut novelist.
7:30 pm at the Park Slope Barnes and Noble (267 Seventh Ave. at Sixth Street in Park Slope). Free. For information, call (718) 832-9066.
Lou’s two
Thursday, May 17: Last time we were at Fort Greene’s Loulou, no fewer than 10 people stopped by to ask if the garden was open. It wasn’t that night, but sure is now, so stop by for the dinner special — entrees are buy-one-get-one-free on Thursdays — and enjoy one of the most enchanting spots in the neighorhood.
Dinner begins at 5:30 at Loulou (222 DeKalb Ave. at Adelphi Street in Fort Greene). For information, call (718) 246-0633.
Flying high
Friday, May 18: STREB Slamshow takes conventional dance and turns it upside down. STREB’s team of dancers sail through the air and bounce around the room performing their gravity-defying routines. Think of it as Cirque de Soleil for the Williamsburg set.
7 pm at the STREB Laboratory for Action Mechanics (51 N. First St. at Kent Avenue in Williamsburg). $20, $10 for kids. For information, call (718) 384-6491.
