Free Friday Five

Here at cheap tricks nyc we know that nothing is cheaper than free. So we bring you the Free Friday Five - our weekly guide to the best five free movie screenings, art galleries, food tastings, street fairs and anything else worth doing for the weekend. This weekend we bring you....

1. Peanut Butter & Co, Sunday 5/13
240 Sullivan Street (b/w Bleecker and W. 3rd Sts)
Free sandwiches at this PB&J West Village emporium for all mothers! I don't know about you, but I'm looking into borrowing a child...

2. You Are Here: A Maze, Friday 5/11 5-11pm
at Chashama 112 W. 44th St (b/w 6th and 7th Aves)
This is a big performance show that takes place in a maze. What does that mean? Might as well go and find out. There's also a possibility of a free open bar.

3. Leaving Dirty Jersey: A Crystal Meth Memoir - reading by James Salant Friday 5/11 7:30pm
at Barnes & Noble 396 Ave of the Americas at 8th St in Greenwich Village
Come to see a man who actually tattooed "dirty jersey" on his forearm. Stay to hear how this upper-middle-class kid from Princeton, NJ wound up in Riverside, CA on a year-long meth binge.

4. The Dig - through Sunday 5/13 at Coney Island
Watch a performance art group dig a hole for seven hours, then refill it. Or just enjoy the beach.

5. The Stoner's Walk - anytime
Start at ChipShop (129 Atlantic Ave between Clinton and Henry Sts, Brooklyn Heights)
Time Out NY this week has a series of themed walks around the city. Try The Stoner's Walk (check out www.timeout.com/newyork/ for maps) which starts at ChipShop where you can pick up a deep fried twinkie and includes stops at The Doughnut Plant and Pomme Frites. Mmmmmm...exercise is always better when fried foods are involved."
