BAM’s Punk ‘n’ Pie
This Thanksgiving, after you give thanks, finish your pie and go to BAM to give thanks to those who’ve really made a difference in your life: Joe Strummer, Ian Curtis, Sid Vicious, and the UK punk/post-punk music scene that still influences our culture today.
Tonight, Saturday, November 29, and Sunday, November 30. Movie times vary. $12. Brooklyn Academy of Music, BAM Rose Cinemas, 30 Lafayette Avenue.

Winter on a Flatbush Farm
Get ready for winter as they did in the 19th century farming village of Flatbush. Kids can learn how to make candles, start a patchwork quilt, and preserve food for the coming months. Watch flax be spun into thread and enjoy Dutch treats made in an open hearth from a Lefferts family recipe.
Today, Saturday, November 29, and Sunday, November 30. 1-4 p.m. Free. At Lefferts Historic House in Prospect Park, at the intersection of Flatbush and Ocean Avenues and Empire Boulevard.

Saturday, November 29. 10:30 a.m. Meet in front of the 9th Avenue subway station on 39th Street.
