READING: Earlier today Rosie O'Donnell was there, but tonight Shalom Auslander will spend some time at Barnes & Noble reading from his book Foreskin's Lament. Raised an Orthodox Jew (something he refers to as "theological abuse"), each page tells a story of his relationship with his religion, his family and everything in between.
7pm // Barnes & Noble [675 Sixth Ave] // Free
THEATER: Jump, the new martial arts/acrobatic/slapstick comedy extravaganza has pounced on Union Square direct from Korea, where many of the cast members moonlight as award-winning athletes. The show is reportedly spectacular; “set in the interior of a traditional Korean home, it tells the story of an anything-but-typical family. Each member of the household, from the strict Grandfather to the pretty young daughter, enjoys nothing more than challenging the rest of the family to martial arts showdowns. When two burglars break into the house occupied by three generations of highly trained martial artists, the family turns their expertise on the unexpected guests.” – John Del Signore
8pm // Union Square Theater [100 E 17th St] // Tickets $20
MUSIC: Next week O'Death will help kick off our Gothamist House shows...tonight though, catch the lead singer at his very own solo show. He'll be performing songs from a new compilation called People Take Warning, which features old timey "disaster songs and murder ballads".
8pm // Cake Shop [152 Ludlow St] // Free
