2) Amali's Charles Dickens-Themed Menu

When: Today, 9 p.m.

4) MASKerade Brunch
When: Today, 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Where: Isa
What: Taavo Somer's quirky bar and restaurant Isa is stepping up its game in 2013 with a crafty MASKerade brunch. This afternoon, while the grown-ups eat brunch full of breakfast pizzas, homemade granola, and sourdough pancakes, their little kiddos can make magical, cosmic bear masks out of rainbows and stardust. The arts and crafts portion of the event is free.
5) Coquito Crawl
When: Today, 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Where:
What: Take that New Year's resolution to drink more exotic drinks to a whole new level on this alcohol-infused trolley tour of East Harlem. The tour pays homage to the coquito, the Puerto Rican version of eggnog that involves coconut cream and sweet condensed milk. The day kicks off at Gran Piatto D'Oro with stops for tastings at four other locations. There will be food samples offered along the way as well. Tickets to the crawl are $25.
Also of Note: Smorgasburg is teaming up with Whole Foods Market Bowery again for a month-long pop-up restaurant in the store. This month, new barbecue joint and Smorgasburg favorite Mighty Quinn's will take over a kiosk which will be open for lunch and dinner through January 30. Looking to try a new restaurant this weekend? Try Williamsburg's newest pizza joint Monk Bar & Pizzeria or Saul Bolton's brand new Italian restaurant Red Gravy. For a taste of the good ol' days, go visit The Good Fork, which recently reopened after sustaining significant damage during Hurricane Sandy.
