The beautiful sounds of the Balkans (with Swedish and Norwegian thrown in) fill Brooklyn's Grand Prospect Hall tonight and tomorrow.
Come early (7:30) on Friday to get a free dance workshop so you can move your body to music from all the Balkan states, plus Ukraine, Norway, Sweden, Hungary, and Turkey to name a few. If you love Klezmer or Greek music, you will have a great time!

New York Comedy Festival
The headliner names have been sold out for this annual laugh fest, but you can still get into some of the lesser known, more local names. Nothing free, unfortunately, this is pretty establishment - nothing experimental. But market-tested means probably sure to please.

Improv and Other Amazing Feats
The Improv crowd is a pretty wacky, hard-working while hard-partying crowd, as FestBuzz found out earlier this year in an introductory intensive. But this weekend the gloves REALLY come off as the Upright Citizens Brigade Del Close Memorial Improv Marathon goes off at 6 different venues in Chelsea and the East Village.
When: June 29-July 1, 2012
Where: Venues throughout Manhattan
Website: http://www.delclosemarathon.com/dcm14/schedule
You can literally see improv all night. The larger venues - SVA theaters and FIT Haft auditorium, play host to long-running favorites as well as teams of alums who have gone on to fame and fortune on TV. A weekend pass is only $30. Un-freaking-believable. I miss these guys so much... can't wait to go back.

Tastes for LAB
A few great tastes events are coming up - this one, like Taste of Tribeca, is for a local school called LAB.

Afterwards, walk it all off on the High Line - the Gansevoort entrance is just a couple blocks away.

Lots of green/natural/organic food and personal products are on display at the booths on the floor. The festival tries to be zero-emissions itself, and invites attendees to bring their own utensils as well as cell phones and batteries to recycle.

New York City Auto Show Returns
IT's BAAAAACCKCKCKCKCK!
The mecca for all things auto returns to the Javits Center to cap off (or start off, however you look at it) another car model year. Tour every recognizable auto label from Ford to Maybach to Porsche and Lamborghini.

Tickets, as always, are required, but it's a good distraction for the Spring Break week, especially now that Ringling Bros. Circus is not making its annual stop.
