Nothing to do this week. Sorry.
We looked for some fun activities in Bay Ridge this weekend, but there is nothing worth doing. Instead, we will use the rest of this column to list the reasons to move out of the Ridge — maybe to New Jersey, where all the action really is. April Fool’s!
Yeah, there is plenty of stuff happening in the Ridge, as always. Start your weekend with a double-decker party on Friday night with Full Disclosure and Gary Weiss at Greenhouse Cafe (7717 Third Ave. between 77th and 78th streets). This is not one to be missed — the Full Disclosure frontwoman Cathy Lau Hunt and Gary Weiss are both celebrating birthdays tonight — and that’s no April Fool’s joke.
The next afternoon, treat yourself to the 4 pm show at Red, White, and Brew (8910 Fifth Ave. between 89th and 90th streets) with Staten Island’s Dusk To Dawn, led by vocalist Dawn Sansevero.
Then you can rock out and do some good for your community by heading to Three Jolly Pigeons (6802 Third Ave. at 68th Street). Nine local bands will play from 8:30 pm until 1 am, and they will be passing the hat to raise money for amputee kids and their families to attend Camp No Limits, which helps the tykes to cope with their injuries and develop a healthy and happy lifestyle.
And the late night nod goes to Wine With Sue, who come all the way from beautiful Rockaway Beach to lay down some “party rock” covers at the Wicked Monk (9510 Third Ave. between 95th and 96th streets). The pole-vaulting, drinking, and dog-racing enthusiasts go on at 11 pm and refuse to leave the stage until 3 am.
The Irish had their big day last month, but now it is time for the Welsh to have a turn. Longbow Pub and Pantry (7316 Third Ave. between 73rd and 74th streets), Brooklyn’s only Welsh bar, will host the second night of Welsh Trivia Cup New York on April 5 at 7 pm (the first night is in Queens, which no one care about). So you think you know Wales, you apparently existent Brooklyn Welsh population? Prove it on Tuesday, when the Welsh tourism board gives prizes to those who can answer their toughest questions. Pob lwc!
