Things To Do This Weekend

• There are a million places to take a new summer lover this weekend. (Besides the beach and the zoo. The zoo, even if it is evil, is at least a great spot for a date.) In particular, in New York: the Figment Project, which is a loose pile of activities, performances and general weirdnesses. (Much of it overly organic or a bit twee!) Governors Island is going to be a total freakshow. Get your face painted, hippie.

• “The Architecture of Doom” just recently went on Netflix Instant. The 20-year-old documentary is about what kind of buildings Hitler really liked!

• Saturday is World Naked Bike Ride Day! Find one near you!

• Music of Schubert and Glass at the Met on Saturday.

• True Grit just came out on DVD.

• Tree of Life rolls out to such fine cities as Boston, Baltimore, Philly, Detroit, San Francisco, Chicago and more.

• An opening of a group show of recent VCU sculpture students, at The Boiler/Pierogi, so you know what the kids are up to. Opens tonight in North Williamsburg.

• And near that, the Renegade Craft Fair happens in McCarren Park this weekend.

• Have you read China Miéville’s Embassytown yet?

• Or you could read about The World’s Greatest Cowboy, Why Emma Watson Really Left Brown — or brush up on things that you can say to a friend who’s ill or why people are so very irksome.
