To Do: Shakespeare Gets Swayze, Brooklyn History, or Liam McEneaney

Eleanor Bergstein, writer and co-producer of Dirty Dancing, joins a pair of Shakespeare scholars for a lecture about how Johnny Castle = Romeo and Baby = Juliet. Deep! [Papermag]
"It Happened in Brooklyn" teaches you pointless facts about the city's most populous borough. Example: Williamsburg was "chartered" from Bushwick in 1827. Can you imagine a world without Williamsburg? Try harder. [Brooklyn History]
Liam McEneaney (Premium Blend, Best Week Ever) gathers friends from The Onion, the Daily Show, and SNL for a night of laughs, jazz, and beer at Mo Pitkins. [Upcoming]
