It’s May Day weekend, so don’t let the gloomy weekend weather keep you from celebrating the ultimate worker’s holiday. Here are the Weekender’s suggestions:
• Tonight, check out the pro wrestling show at Fort Greene’s Masonic Temple.
• In a decorating rut? Head to the annual Brooklyn Designs in DUMBO — and bring our guide to redecorating your pad without making a big dent in your wallet.
• While you’re in DUMBO, join famed chocolatier Jacques Torres’s fight to save his “Champagne Kiss” from Hershey’s.
• Feel the itch and check out the flea markets popping up all over the borough — and take our handy guide with you.
• Get started on your Mother’s Day gift shopping with our handy gift guide. And don’t forget to bake Mom some scones — with our recipe, courtesy of Melissa Murphy of Sweet Melissa Patisserie.
• Dance, drink and soak in a eucalyptus-infused bath all at the same time, thanks to indie band, Sway Machinery.
• The sheep and alpacas at the Prospect Park Zoo will get their spring haircuts this weekend (it’s always a party). 11 am. Prospect Park Zoo [450 Flatbush Ave. at Ocean Avenue in Prospect Park, (718) 399-7339]. Free.
• See a puppet show about bees on Sunday in Williamsburg. Dooley loved it!
• Also on Sunday, take the annual Clinton Hill house tour — which ends at a barbecue at the Kelso of Brooklyn brewery! Meet at St. Luke’s Church at noon. (259 Washington Ave., between Dekalb Avenue and Willoughby Street). 2 pm. Barbecue. $10. Kelso of Brooklyn [529 Waverly Ave. between Fulton Street and Atlantic Avenue]. RSVP requested at kelsoofbrooklyn.com.
• This is still time to see the cherry blossoms at the Botanic Garden.
• Buy your tickets for the Wilco show or, better yet, enter our ticket giveaway!
• Head to Puppetworks for the new show, “Aladdin.” It’s on Saturday and Sunday.
• Go to a fancy new supermarket in Downtown.
As always, these and other great events are in our exclusive family calendar, our great nightlife calendar, and our matchless events calendar.
