News for Sweet Tooths
Former Real Simple art director Carolyn Veith and her lit professor husband Kai Krienke have opened a new Franklin St. boutique named after their two children, Jan & Aya. It’s eclectically curated with prints, clogs, footstools, and local goods like honey flights from Bee Raw, silkscreened Tees from Loyalty and Blood, and homemade bath oils and salts from Therapy. But our favorite item is the delicious, chocolatey golden tweenkee made with real gold dust by organic Brooklyn baker Sarah Magid. janandaya.com
The line for the massively delicious Belgian waffles at the Flea’s food-court-in-progress ran halfway through the lot, but the new Food and Wine features a recipe for Thomas DeGeest’s Brussels specials, so you can make them at home.

Schmooze with Recycle-A-Bicycle, Transportation Alternatives, the Brooklyn Greenway and Bike NY during an extended happy hour in Dumbo on Thursday to talk about tuning your wheels and local bike news. 6:30-8:30, rebarnyc.com
Openings and Closings
Judith Supine — the street artist who unfurled a collaged figure from the Manhattan Bridge last summer — is opening a gigantic installation at Bushwick’s English Kills Gallery this Saturday, filled with 20-foot-long puppets, sculptural paintings and cutouts. Opening reception is 5-9 pm. 114 Forrest Street, alley entrance, englishkillsgallery.com
Nearby, trade in old art for new work during the Open House Party and Art Swap at 3rd Ward this Saturday. Half-nude figure drawing sessions, drinks, food, and demonstrations in welding and woodworking are some of the many enticements to visit the workspace and sign up for classes. 195 Morgan Ave. 11am-on, swap at 5 pm, 3rdward.com
The Park Slope artist’s studio space, MadArts, has its spring group show up through April 20 (madarts.org). And this Saturday, the Gowanus Studio Space is hosting the launch party of an new online magazine, Triple Canopy. $7 donation, 7 pm- on, gowanusstudio.org
But the the most star-studded art event this weekend is the closing reception for BAMart’s silent auction, where artist David Salle and photographer Annie Leibovitz will be in attendance. Sun., April 13, 3-6 pm, bam.org/auction
Also at BAM through this Thursday is the Saragossa Manuscript, an epic film that Martin Scorcese, Luis Bunuel, and Jerry Garcia all revered — which is reason enough to brave the three-hour-long classic. bam.org
