1. Who doesn't like watching sports with a bunch of other fans? Well, if you answer yes, then Canz, a new sports bar located at 4780 Sunrise Highway South Service Road, Bohemia, is the place for you. Canz has lots of televisions, great sandwich food and a selection of beers, wine, and cocktails. Along with great bar food, on Sundays they have their special Kegs & Eggs special breakfast menu served all day. See you at Canz! (LongIsland.com)
2. "Punk Rock Girl" world premiere will be presented at the Argyle Theatre, Long Island's newest and largest year-round equity theater located in Babylon. If you like music from Blondie, Pat Benatar, Avril Lavigne, Joan Jett, P!nk, Gwen Stefani, and more, you will love this show! Sixteen-year-old Angela Quivers' life changes when she meets "Proxi, a teenager who pulls her into a world of grungy guitars, shocking secrets and big, loud, messy emotions. 'Punk Rock Girl' is a noisy celebration of all things raw and ragged; trashy and heartfelt; familiar and alien." (longislandweekly.com)
3. Not everyone puts booties on their dog, or sweaters on their outside cat, but there are some tips to keep your pets safe during the coldest of days. The Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is offering tips on how to keep pets safe during the freezing weather. (Smithtown Patch)
