When/Where: Saturday, Nov. 3, 5 to 9 p.m. at Brooklyn Museum, 200 Eastern Parkway

Why Go: After days of being cooped up in your house, give yourself a full sensory experience at Brooklyn Museum's Target First Saturdays.

Cost: $15

 

King Con Brooklyn

When/Where: Saturday Nov. 3 and Sunday Nov. 4, Brooklyn Lyceum, 227 4th Ave.
