• 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.
