Weekend Picks — Films, Flu Shots, Shopping, and Cupcakes

By , About.com GuideNovember 21, 2009

It's the weekend before Thanksgiving. That means holiday decorations are popping up all over the city and some of our favorite holiday attractions are opening for business.

  • Gotham Independent Film Awards Series -- See the year's best independent films at MOMA as part of the "Best Film Not Playing at a Theater Near You" series sponsored by the Gotham Independent Film Awards.

  • Free Flu Shots -- New York City is offering free flu shots at clinics in all five boroughs this weekend. Find out if you qualify for a free vaccination and learn how to get free medical advice if you experience flu-like symptoms.
  • Harlem Holiday Trunk Show -- Head to Harlem on Saturday for this day of shopping at Casa Frela, an art gallery in a renovated brownstone in Harlem's Mount Morris Park Historic Landmark District.  The event will feature unique gifts from 10 designers, music by DJ Vega Benetton, and complementary beverages.
  • Cupcake Crawl --This month's Free NYC Dessert Fest is a Cupcake Crawl. Sample the sweetest cupcakes in Manhattan on a tour through the East Village and Lower East Side. Stops will include Baby Cakes, Sugar Sweet Sunshine, and Crumbs. You'll pay for your cupcakes as you go and the suggested $5 donation benefits the Food Bank for New York City.  Meet the tour guide with the red ball cap on Sunday  at 11 am at Baby Cakes at 248 Broome Street, between Orchard and Ludlow.
