Pig Island
Governors Island will be playing double duty this weekend because aside from all the art, they'll be hosting their annual pig-out (pun intended). Twenty five different chefs will be on hand to create all sorts of pork dishes that'll satisfy BBQ traditionalists and avant garde eaters alike. The day's fare will come from 80 locally-sourced hogs along with tons of side dishes and craft beers and ciders. [via Village Voice]
Crabapalooza

Budweiser Made in America Festival
Okay technically this one's not in the NYC confines but we thought we'd be remiss if we didn't include Jay-Z's inaugural fest. Besides, it just may be worth the road trip to Philly to catch Hova, Pearl Jam, Skrillex, Dirty Projectors, Santigold and more. (And don't rule out the possibility of a Beyoncé or Blue Ivy sighting...you never know!) [via nymag]
Tiki Disco at Roberta'sSUNDAY:
Tiki Disco at Roberta's
Bushwick fave Roberta's hosts its weekly summer Tiki Disco Party with tons of beer and dance-friendly beats and since it's one of Cole Haan's sponsored weekly parties this month, be sure to tweet about the shindig with the hashtag #DontGoHome for the chance to win some pretty cool prizes. Today's party will feature DJ sets by Holy Ghost!, Lloydski, Andry Pry and Eli Escobar. And drink up! No work tomorrow. [via Time Out]
The Producers at BAM Rose Cinemas
Bialystock and Bloo-oom! Before The Producers was a Broadway hit, it was a Mel Brooks cult classic, combining dark political satire and absurdist humor. The late-'60s comedy stars Zero Mostel and Gene Hackman as a scheming producer and accountant who plan on making the worst Broadway show of all time and then splitting town with the profits from investors. Things don't go as planned. [TONY]
Roxette at Beacon Theatre
'80s Swedish pop duo Roxette are back, baby! When we were kids, we thought Roxette was one of the most sophisticated examples of stylish, fun music that beautiful women with giant hair blasted from their convertibles in L.A. (And still sort of think that.) Their hits "It Must Have Been Love," "The Look," "Listen to Your Heart," and "Joyride" (which were all on one album) are still great party jams and you can expect to hear them all tonight, along with stuff from their new album, when they play the Beacon Theatre with Hesta Prynn. [TONY]
What the Funk?! at (Le) Poisson Rouge
LPR hosts a funk night in honor of James Brown and Fela Kuti with DJs Spinna and Rich Medina. [via Flavorpill/(Le) Poisson Rouge]
Valley Girl at Nitehawk Cinema
Nicolas Cage is seriously the hottest hottie in this 1983 film about punk boy meets preppy valley girl, loosely based on Romeo and Juliet. Tonight's midnight screening at Nitehaw's gonna be bitchin', man. [Flavorpill]
