5 Things: FAB Friday, Sing-a-long Fun, Help Carry a Stroller

1. Have a FABulous Friday. Come out to Fulton Street for FAB Friday at the Putnam Triangle Plaza (Cross St. Grand Avenue) from 4-8 p.m. But before those festivities begin, participate in the The Uni Project from 2:30-7:30 p.m., a pop-up reading room with children's picture books for browsing and a variety of activities such as making origami and reading aloud by volunteers. From 4-6 p.m., enjoy free games and arts & crafts activities for Kids with NY Cares Volunteers Plus, as well as a sidewalk chalk art project with Children's Book Author Elisha Cooper-in partnership with Greenlight Bookstore.

2. Sing a song. Come partake in a sing-a-long (and bring the kids) today at 10:30 a.m. at Dean Street, located at 755 Dean St. The sing-a-long will be led by Mike Messer, lead singer of the Dirty Sock Funtime Band of Nick Jr. fame. $5/family.

3. Help a mama out. Birth Day Presence will be hosting the annual Help A Mama Up Day today. Either from first-hand experience or as a sympathetic onlooker, every commuter knows how tough it can be to cart a kiddie around on the subway. So today at 9 a.m., have breakfast with Birthday Presence and then give back to New York mamas for Mother's Day from 10:30 a.m.-12 p.m. by helping moms and dads carry their strollers up and down the busy NYC subway stairs. If joy you get after helping someone out isn't enough, do it for the free t-shirt you'll get! Email doulas@birthdaypresence.net for more times and meeting spots.

4. See a show. The Irondale presents "Choreographer's Voice," the work of the late performer and choreographer Niles Ford featuring the Urban Dance Collective at 8 p.m. $25

5. Move your car. Alternate side parking is in full effect today. The next suspension will be Wednesday, May 15 for Shavuot.
