THE FLEETING CHICKEN

To Madison Square Park, Posthaste

The chefs behind LA favorites Animal, Son of a Gun and Jon & Vinny’s will be taking over Shake Shack for precisely three and a half hours tomorrow, doling out crispy chicken sandwiches with spicy pickle slaw and rooster aioli for those willing to wait for ’em. And then only the memories will remain.

THE SMASHING PUMPKINS

Should Annihilating Gourds Be of Interest

Choose a pumpkin, grab an axe, mallet or baseball bat, and go to town. There will also be a costume contest, knife-and-axe-throwing workshops and pumpkin carving, but you know why you’re there. To be Gallagher.

Oct 28, 6pm, Gotham Archery, 480 Baltic St (between Nevins and Bond), Brooklyn, 718-858-5060

Fireworks at Fish Bar. Why Not.
THE EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY

Fireworks at Fish Bar. Why Not.

This Friday, you can go see fireworks on the yacht-lounge-restaurant-rooftop that is Fish Bar, for free. Do that, and then carry on with your Friday-ing—or stay, if you’d prefer to sail around the city drinking bourbon-pomegranate beverages and eating charred octopus. And who could blame you?

Oct 28, 9pm, Fish Bar, Pier 81 (at 41st), 212-630-8840

Saturday
A Glowing Forest Inside the New Museum
THE MUSEUM DATE

A Glowing Forest Inside the New Museum

Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist transformed three floors of the New Museum into an interactive exhibit with kaleidoscopic projections, glowing orbs in a pixel forest and a communal sleeping room where visitors lie in beds and stare up at the screens above. BYO... you know.

Through Jan 15, $16, The New Museum, 235 Bowery (at Prince), 212-219-1222
