The weekender! Here’s what you should do on Saturday and Sunday

The Brooklyn Paper

The weather outside may be frightful, but there is so much going on this weekend. Here are The Weekender’s suggestions:

• The Brooklyn Flea goes indoors in DUMBO!

• And while you’re in DUMBO on Sunday, check out the protest against David Walentas’s Dock Street project.

• You gotta see John Doe and Exene Cervenka at the Music Hall of Williamsburg on Saturday night at 9 pm. Music Hall of Williamsburg [66 N. Sixth St. at Wythe Avenue, (718) 486-5400].

• Head to the new Roots Cafe in Park Slope for the best coffee in the world. Or watch Gersh Kuntzman drink it in our exclusive podcast on this page.

• On either Saturday or Sunday, head to Puppetworks [338 Sixth Ave. at Fourth Street in Park Slope, (718) 965-3391] for the premiere of the new show, “Sleeping Beauty.” Our puppetry and mime critic, Thurston Dooley III, will be there on Opening Day (he’s been a first-nighter since the 1950s) to file his review.

• You could recreate our critic’s Peter Luger vs. Morton’s smackdown and verify for yourself that Peter Luger is no longer the best steakhouse in the borough.

• Check out the drunken art exhibition at Sputnik in Clinton Hill.

• Head to Patois, the Smith Street trendsetter, which is closing after 11 years. Au revoir, mon vieux.

Don’t — repeat, don’t — go to the public library this Sunday.

As always, these and other great events are in our exclusive family calendar, our great nightlife calendar, and our matchless events calendar.
