What's Going on this Week
FEBRUARY 16, 2011
Grown-ups get a culinary happy hour, a brainy poker game and some great sax; the kids get a circus, Sesame Street
puppets and more.
Poker for Jokers in Kings
Literary philanthropist Dave Eggers’ educational org 826 NYC can always be counted on for fund-raising events that are offbeat as well as fun and draw a stellar hand of celebrities. This Texas hold-em tournament in a DUMBO loft should be no exception (guests include Michael Ian Black and Ira Glass). The stakes are nothing to sneeze at: The winner gets a $10,000 seat to the World Series of Poker 2011 main event.

155 Water Street, DUMBO Loft
Tickets: $350 registration fee
