5 Things: Super Bowl Watching, Brooklyn ARTery Drawing and BAMKids Film Festival
Plus Nerd Cabaret and Brooklyn Botanic Garden's 'Illuminated.'

1. Watch the Super Bowl. If you want to do it in good company, here's a list of Ditmas Park bars showing Super Bowl 2013.
2. Don't watch the Super Bowl. If men running around a field is not your thing. Head to our favorite nerd bar for a screening of Shaun of the Dead (one of PHP's personal favorites) at 5 p.m. followed by Nerd Cabaret at 8. The Way Station, 683 Washington Ave. bet. Prospect and St. Marks in Prospect Heights, $5 suggested donation to the performers.

4. Embrace the cold. Now that winter's finally come, enjoy it at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden's "Illuminated" celebration, with events that include a pop-up winter lodge for families on Saturday, a pop-up "journey to Sweden and the outdoors" on Sunday and a "Mitten Lodge" with mulled wine, hot chocolate and pepparkakor cookies. Today is the last day of the two-weekend event, so don't miss it.
