The Porkchop Ball

A low-key daytime space for queer and trans writers to work alongside each other at Hive Mind Books & Coffee. Bring your laptop, your manuscript, your half-finished poem—whatever you're working on. It's the kind of casual, judgment-free environment where you can actually focus while being around people who get it.

A welcoming Thursday night for TTRPG players of all levels — whether you're picking up dice for the first time or you've been running games for years. Each session features different indie and small-press games, all wrapped up in one night with no prep or ongoing commitment required. Show up, find your table, make some new friends, and maybe discover your next favorite game.

A monthly fiber crafting gathering for masc-identifying artists at any skill level—whether you're picking up needles for the first time or you've been knitting for years. Show up, stitch, chat, and meet other people who get it. Thursdays 6–8pm at the Brooklyn Community Pride Center.

A horror-comedy cult classic gets the big-screen treatment at BOYFRIEND. Jennifer's Body is the kind of movie that's only gotten better with time — darkly funny, unapologetically queer, and endlessly quotable. Grab a drink, settle in, and experience Megan Fox's iconic performance with people who actually get why this film matters.

Throwback Thursdays at The Toolbox Bar is your weekly hit of nostalgia — a night built on the songs that defined you, spanning the best of the 80s, 90s, and 00s. Expect a packed dance floor, DJ sets spinning all-decade hits, and a crowd that knows every word. It's the kind of night that makes Thursdays feel like the real weekend. Grab your friends and come ready to dance.

Throwback pop hits from the 90s to 2020s light up Hardware's dance floor every Thursday night.

Expect nostalgic visuals, a packed dance floor, and a crowd that knows every word. 21+.
