EVENT: The avant-gourmands from Radiohole (who have been blogging about their adventures in Vermont) will be giving “private-dingy palm readings and psychic-portraits featuring Peek-a-Boo Technology” at the grand opening party for Three Legged Dog. The company’s new home, which is at the World Trade Center site, was recently heralded by the Times as a sign of “hope” for the other stalled projects at Ground Zero. The party is free and boasts performances by League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots, Aldo Perez and other hopefuls. - John Del Signore

THEATER: If you’ve got time-pressed guests from out of town who can’t decide between seeing a show or taking a tour, “Accomplice: New York” could be the ideal solution. Described as “an adventure in organized crime”, the show is part mystery/scavenger hunt and part walking tour through downtown Manhattan, orchestrated by a gang of seasoned improv actors. For three hours, your team chases cryptic leads dropped by a shady array of noir wise guys and dolls. It is never exactly clear who’s part of the production and who’s just part of the woodwork, which makes the whole mystery more intriguing. (And if three hours of pavement pounding sounds daunting, rest assured that pit stops at various pubs are weaved into the adventure.) Not for nothin’, but word on the street says the show was voted “Best City Tour 2006” by citysearch.com. - John Del Signore
The show runs every half hour on Saturday and Sunday, starting at 1pm // Tickets, which are going fast, are still available for some time slots at www.zerve.com
