The revolving storefront at 303Grand has been the temporary home to the cozy PerkStreet Lounge (303 Grand St at Havemeyer St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn; 347-948-7303, 303grandnyc.com; Thu–Sun noon–8pm), where you’re treated to free coffee, free Wi-Fi and free weekly events. The lounge closes today, so drop by for “Thrifty Thanksgiving” (2–6pm, R.S.V.P. at thriftythanksgiving.eventbrite.com), during which online magazine Shoestring will offer up a gourmet Thanksgiving tasting menu with food from local vendors, plus complimentary booze.
Should you prefer an extreme sugar high to savory grub, take your cup of joe to go and join the Cupcake Crawl (meet at Baby Cakes, 248 Broome St between Ludlow and Orchard Sts, 917-842-4319; 11am–12:30pm, $5 donation to Food Bank for New York City plus cost of cupcakes), during which you can compare and contrast frosting, sprinkles and cakey consistency at five Lower East Side and East Village locations. Says crawl leader Bruce Scher: “We won’t be rating them, just devouring them.” Chew slowly.—Sharon Steel
