THE SWAYZE

<em>Dirty Dancing</em>, Dancing

It’s a Dirty Dancing–themed night at this rooftop bar in Bushwick, with a screening, a trivia contest, themed drinks, a DJ set of songs that influenced the movie’s soundtrack and a bunch of people dressed like it’s the ’60s. Do join them.

THE BRUNCH

New Competition for Best Breakfast Sandwich

Union Fare, fast-casual-lunch-spot-extraordinaire/dinner spot/raw bar/bakery/wine bar, felt as though they just didn’t do enough. So now they’re doing a brunch that’ll include an apple sausage breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese, bacon glaze and a cinnamon roll bun. That’s just one thing.

Sat-Sun, 11am-3:45pm, Union Fare, 6 E 18th St (between Broadway and 5th), 212-633-6003

THE SLIPPING AND THE SLIDING

Last Summer-Flinging at Roberta’s

For their last party of the summer, Roberta’s will be throwing a party of beer, pizza and a good old-fashioned Slip ’N Slide. We already know they’ve got at least two of those down.

Sep 11, noon-9pm, Roberta’s, 261 Moore St (between Bogart and White), Brooklyn, 718-417-1118

Nice Turkish Things for Your Face

RVS, an Istanbul-based purveyor of handsome, sometimes-outlandish sunglasses, has a pop-up on the Bowery. Go there, and the top of your nose will be all the better for it.
