Where to GO: Editors’ Picks

Casino royale

Saturday, December 8: Tonight, the uber-exclusive Heights Casino hosts the annual black-tie Yuletide Ball, a benefit for the Brooklyn Kindergarten Society. The party doesn’t start until 10 pm, but once revelers arrive, they’ll be treated to a live band, cocktails and decadent desserts. Think of it as everything your office holiday party should have been but wasn’t.

10 pm at the Heights Casino (75 Montague St. at Hicks Street in Brooklyn Heights). $150-$500. For information, call (718) 623-9803 ext. 10 or visit www.bksny.org.

Gaga galas

Monday, December 10: Tonight, the City Reliquary museum, which exhibits New York artifacts, will host its second annual gala. Expect live music and excerpts from the not-yet-released documentary “Up on the Roof,” by JL Aronson (pictured), to be followed by limo service to a dinner at Bamonte’s.

7 pm at the Automotive High School Auditorium (50 Bedford Ave. at Nassau Avenue in Williamsburg). Tickets are $30-$135. RSVP required. For information, call (718) 782-4842 or visit www.cityreliquary.org.

Electricity free

Wednesday, December 12: Detroit-based electro rockers Electric Six — whose single, “Danger! High Voltage!,” was stuck in our heads for at least two years — are playing a free show tonight at Southpaw. Between this show and the return of the Larry Tee dance night at Galapagos, could electroclash be coming back from the dead already?

8 pm at Southpaw (125 Fifth Ave. at Sterling Place in Park Slope). Free. For information, call (718) 230-0236 or visit www.spsounds.com.

Catch a ‘Tiger’

Thursday, December 13: The Tiger Lillies’ three-night show, called “Suicide for Christmas,” will find the over-the-top trio serenading its fans with macabre songs chock full of its trademark black humor. Be careful what you wish for! Read more on page 9.

8 pm at St. Ann’s Warehouse (38 Water St. at Main Street in DUMBO). $32.50. For information, call (718) 254-8779 or visit www.stannswarehouse.org.

Way off Broadway

Friday, December 14: Aaron Caruso, who’s on his way to Broadway to play the role of Mario Lanza, is bringing his golden pipes to St. Bernadette’s in Bay Ridge for a holiday concert. “I find the people of Brooklyn to be the best audience,” Caruso told us, so stop by and prove him right.

8 pm at the Shrine Church of St. Bernadette (8201 13th Ave. at 82nd Street in Bay Ridge). $20. For information, call (718) 837-3400.
