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

It must be summer — there are lots of people wearing nothing! (Click now!)

It’s going to be gorgeous this weekend, so let the Weekender help you find things to do:

• Use our user’s guide to the G train — and explore some new neighborhoods!

Play miniature golf at an artist-designed course in Sunset Park — one day only on Saturday, May 30.

• Though the libraries aren’t open on Sunday (!), visit the new outdoor Open Book Cafe at the central branch on Saturday — food by Spencer Rothschild of Barrio!

• Go to DUMBO and get this ice cream by Jacques Torres! The Willy Wonka of Water Street has done it again!

• Go to Coney Island and meet some interesting people wearing next to nothing. And there’ll even be a tug of war on Saturday at 1 pm.

• There’s always the Brooklyn Flea on Saturday in Fort Greene and Artists and Fleas in Williamsburg.

And if you must stay inside:

• Long Island University has a fun seminar on Hollywood’s depiction of Brooklyn. Wear your gang attire from “The Warriors” era. The fun starts at noon. Long Island University [Flatbush Avenue Extension at DeKalb Avenue in Downtown, (718) 488-1052]. Free.

• Take a minute to review City Council candidate John Heyer’s position on abortion and gay marriage!

Eat Lebanese food!

• Rock out at the fundraiser for the Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls all weekend long.

• Go see a great hardcore band, Indecision, on Saturday night in Greenpoint.

• Go to Joe Chirico’s new wine bar on Court Street.

• Enjoy the Lebanese food festival, all weekend in Brooklyn Heights.

• Mourn the loss of an old record store in Park Slope.

Enter our Wilco ticket contest — before May 31.

• And Cynthia Hopkins’s weird “The Success Of Failure (Or, the Failure Of Success)” starts at St. Ann’s Warehouse in DUMBO.

• The Butcher of Flatbush Avenue Extension, theater critic Mike McLaughlin, loved “Le Serpent Rouge,” a sexy retelling of the Adam and Eve story. Go now and get a rise out of the Fall of Man.

• Head to Puppetworks for “Aladdin.” It’s on Saturday and Sunday.

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

Play mini golf (Saturday only)!
