The weather's not the only thing that's warming up this weekend! Wait, are we a NY1 anchor? Sorry. Anyway, there is some fun stuff to do this weekend! Mira Nair's long-awaited (by at least one of us!) film version of Jhumpa Lahiri's The Namesake opens, and Lahiri and Nair will chat about it at the NYPL! There is more of a beer festival in Williamsburg than usual! Plus, comedy and graffiti! Don't just stay inside and pick your scabs.
