Guide to the Weekend returns, in the one post where you’ll ever find both burlesque and food trucks together.
Friday – Sunday
New York Film Festival
Alice Tully Hall
1941 Broadway
$7 for students
“In the past, the festival has showcased the likes of Jean-Luc Godard, Pedro Almodóvar and Martin Scorsese. Adventurous cineastes will especially want to check out the Views from the Avant-Garde series.”
D.U.M.B.O Art Under the Bridge Festival
Various neighborhood locations
Free
Artists turn the area around DUMBO into a series of temporary projects, using a variety of mediums.
Friday
New York School of Burlesque Student Showcase
The Satin Room
167 Orchard Street
$5, 8-10 p.m.
Seriously, it’s “hosted by NYSB Headmistress Jo “Boobs” Weldon.” What more do you need?
Saturday
The Kitchen Block Party
The Kitchen
West 19th Street between 9th and 10th
Free, 12-5 p.m.
“Artists from the indie institution prepare collaborative sculptures, hula-hooping workshops, and lessons in double Dutch.” Sounds hipstery!
Dance Theater Workshop
FAB! and DMAC

The free program, in its 15th season, brings together a huge number of choreographers and dancers for both inside and outside performances.
Sunday

MoMA
Free, 1 p.m. start time
Yes, the title sounds sketchy, but MoMA? Commericals? British? Consider it a cocktail that’s too intriguing to pass up.
