1. Thursday is National Puppy Day (not to be confused with National Dog Day, that’s in August). Visit a shelter to adopt, or if you already have a fluffy one at home, pick up a treat from By Chloe. One dollar from every housemade Bag O’Dog Bones sold will be donated to the Humane Society.

2. Then catch a show. Thursday evening, precocious British teenage multi-instrumentalists and future famous band Let’s Eat Grandma takes the stage at Rough Trade, while OGs Yo La Tengo show off the fruits of a more than 30-year career at Town Hall, with special guests.

3. Also on Thursday, comedians and rappers Jean Grae and Quelle Chris create better soundtracks to commercials, internet videos, and whatever else they think needs improving in Dubbled Over at the Alamo Drafthouse.

4. Catch new and old works by Paul Taylor Modern Dance through Sunday at Lincoln Center.

5. And if you’d like some booze with your old-timey jazz, swing by the Craft Distillers Festival on Saturday at the Bowery Hotel, where 20 distillers will be represented, serving unlimited tastings.

6. Throwback Brit rockers the Zombies (of "Time of the Season" fame) tour in support of the 50th anniversary of their album Odessey and Oracle, stopping by Town Hall on Saturday.

7. And over at the Abrons Art Center, the floor will rumble with The Terrifying, Obie winner Julia Jarcho’s semi-immersive play about a flesh-eating creature that lives in the woods.

8. Celebrate Women’s History Month on Saturday at the Great Women of Green-Wood tour, with cemetery stops including pioneering doctors Susan McKinney Steward and Mary Jacobi, abolitionist Abigail Hopper Gibbons, and Isabella Goodwin, the first woman detective in the NYPD.

9. And on Saturday evening, head to the Knockdown Center in Queens for Closeness, a musical collaboration combining the softness of Orenda Fink (Azure Ray) with the hard-edged electronica of Todd Fink (the Faint). In conjunction with the current group exhibition "Unseen Hand," which also features Fink's work.

10. It’s the last weekend to see Julian Schnabel’s new plate paintings at Pace Gallery (if you see him, hide your ears).

11. And round out Sunday at the Bowery Ballroom, with unabashed performance artist Mykki Blanco, who has earned plenty of attention for pushing gender and identity boundaries. Go forth unabashedly, and happy weekend!
