We’ve got Thursday off and May the Fourth on Sunday. So, get ready for everyone to be talking about a movie featuring sword fighting space monks who are also somehow all related—that sounds like a great concept to bang on about for nearly half a century. Beyond that, we have club nights at Baccarat, improv from Shanghai, a bar opening at Madame K, cabaret Hemingway, and a whole lot more.
