1. Catching Raz Mesinai's Badawi perform at Tonic (107 Norfolk St, between Delancey and Rivington). Badawi has gone far beyond the realms of dub, electronica, middle eastern and avant-garde music while remaining true to his roots. Mesinai's fifth Badawi release "Clones and False Prophets" is yet another turn in this never ending journey.

2. Watching The Honey Brothers perform at the Living Room (154 Ludlow St at Stanton). The Honey Brothers are a comedic and ukulele-driven mish-mash. Ari Gold, director of Helicopter, is the head of the band and Adrian Grenier, the actor with the "million dollar face" is their drummer. Over this past weekend Grenier was replaced by Belle Honey, an equally as cute in her own way, Cooper Union student.

3. Barbecue on a roof, courtyard, street, or any exterior location. I recommend Fairway for vegetables, fruits and fish. So fresh and so cheap.

4. A park, any park or garden will do. Everyone has their favorite park, but the parks are the icing on top of a lovely weekend.
