What shouldn't I miss in NYC this Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sun? Bonus where are can I find the best/good freshly made corn tortillas? In the city that is.

Oh my goodness! Come to Brooklyn and eat at Cafe Mexicano at 4th and Union. It seats 6.

Then see my band Happy Fun Smile at Columbia University's Matsuri festival on Saturday at 7! It's free!

If I were in NYC this weekend, I would go to the Mondo Porno party at Arlene's Grocery on Friday.

Oh, and I forgot the big Sakura Matsuri festival at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. Hands down the thing to do in the city this weekend. Seriously. Combine it with your lunch at Cafe Mexicano, or brunch next door at Maria's.

But, as LeVar Burton would say, "You don't have to take my word for it!"

It's also the Tribeca Film Festival this weekend.

Take an afternoon/evening to walk around the West Village and just soak up this wonderful weather. Dinner at John's on Bleeker, and then ice cream at Cones next door. Unbeatable.

Check out the preview for the Impressionist & Modern Art Sale at Sotheby's. See artwork that doesn't usually hang on gallery walls....for free!

Or come to Brooklyn and go to Matamoros Puebla on Bedford Avenue for wonderful corn tortillas. Only one stop away on the L!
