After the screening, enjoy drink specials (and Bocce!) at Floyd on Atlantic Avenue. RSVP requested. 6 p.m.
  • Wednesday: Living Liberally will host "cheap/urban/sustainable," an open house about living sustainably in New York City
    without breaking the bank. The event will feature local businesses,
