Free Friday Five

Nothing's cheaper than free. This weekend we bring you....

1. Music Slut Anniversary Party, Saturday 6/9, 8PM
at The Delancey (166 Delancey Street)
Live music! Free PBR from 8-9! The Music Slut's throwing a party in honor of its second anniversary, and everyone's invited...

2. Atlantic Avenue Art Walk, Saturday 6/9 & Sunday 6/10 1-6PM
Atlantic Avenue (Cobble Hill, Brooklyn)
Artists along Atlantic Avenue will be opening their studio doors to the public during this neighborhood celebration of all things art-related. Restaurants and bars are gearing up for the crowds by offering special deals, and several local bands are slated to perform.

3. Literary Magazine Fair, Sunday 6/10 12-5 PM
at the Housing Works Used Books Cafe (126 Crosby Street)
If you're more into Pynchon than Picasso, then this fair's for you. There's no cover charge, and all magazines are selling for a measly $2. Added bonus: Proceeds go to charity.

4. Somee Cards
Care enough to send the very best?
These free e-cards range from the pathetic ("I'm terrified of being offline") to the downright devilish ("Being away from you has given me clarity on how insane you are").
Send at your own risk.

5. Shakespeare in the Park, ongoing
at The Delacorte Theater in Central Park
Nothing says summer in NYC like Shakespeare in the Park, and, as of June 6, it's back in business. Hit the park early with a picnic dinner, and you can soak up a little sun along with some culture (current show: Romeo and Juliet).
