FOOD: Tonight you'll want to indulge in The 8 Best Cheeses in New York City. "Let's get back to basics with a tasting of the eight best hand crafted cheeses available in New York. Expect names like Beeler, Mons, Cravero and Guffanti to be in the house." There will also be "dark chocolate, fruit and at least one mystery cheese (which may be ninth and/or tenth best cheese in Gotham)." Drinks will be on hand but are not included in the ticket price.

6:30 p.m. // Nectar Wine Bar [2235 Frederick Douglass Blvd] // $25

EVENT: Learn something new tonight. Bio-artists Britta Riley and Rebecca Bray are at Idlewild Books and will school you in how to "create personal, super-local, at-home solutions to big environmental and health issues. Their urine to fertilizer kits let you recycle the excess nutrients your body creates when you eat and drink. You can pee in the kit and then perform a biochemical reaction that transforms the nutrients in your urine into an immediately usable fertilizer to feed your own plants. They invite you to join them for a special opportunity to turn your pee into fertilizer and take it home for your houseplants." Yeah, so that's happening.

THEATER: Removable Parts is a theatrical series of love songs and meditations about voluntary amputation. Yep, electing to surgically remove limbs is now a lifestyle choice we’re probably expected to treat with delicate sensitivity. It’s also not the first theatrical incision into this subculture; Kyle Jarrow’s play Armless bobbed through these waters not too long ago. But Removable Parts sets the stumps to music with amusing lyrics like, “I’ll be hooked for life / I’ll fling around these lifeless things / And maybe you’ll be my wife / Just so you can wear both of the rings.” It's being revived at HERE through Sunday as part of Under the Radar; reviewing it in 2007, the Times deemed it “darkly enchanting musical theater…silly, but also desperately sad and layered.” - John Del Signore
