It’s SUPER BOWL-UPER-BOWL-UPER-BOWL-UPER-BOWL WEEKEND-EEKEND-EEKEND-EEKEND! (That was my impression of shouting into the void.) Whether or not you have plans to cram eight thousand chicken wings into your body for the sake of sports, there’s plenty to do INCLUDING but also ASIDE FROM watching football. In fact, did you know it’s Groundhog Day on Saturday? Yeah! And Nitehawk is doing brunch screenings! HENCE WE HAVE OUR GIF THEME! Before we dive into all our options, let’s first recap some great #CONTENT you might’ve missed on BYT this week while you were shaking your fist menacingly at Howard Schultz!

  • Meanwhile, it’s Dance Yourself Clean at Baby’s All Right for all of ye olde indie dance party vibes! Tickets to that will run you $10-$12 each.

Sunday, February 3

  • For starters, catch a brunch screening of Groundhog Day over at Nitehawk Williamsburg!
