in some kind of trouble. Admission: $10. For more information,

Brooklyn: Stories of Immigration and Survival. Fri noon;
Sat 10am; Sun noon. Brooklyn Historical Society, 128 Pierrepont St
(at Clinton St). Curiosity about her neighbors' diverse
backgrounds prompted Flatbush, Brooklyn, resident Nina Talbot to
spend the past 11 years interviewing and painting them; 17 of her
pieces will be on view in this exhibit. The works are supplemented
by personal photos of and recorded interviews with the subjects
(audio will be available via a set of headphones next to each

New

Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 West 18th Street. Life in the City
gets sweeter every November with the annual Chocolate Show, a
full-on chocolate expo, chock-full of inventive live
demonstrations, samples, book signings and more. The 13th-annual

"Kids' Zone" for the young ones. And the chocolate's not just for
eating: previous shows have featured chocolate-clad models
strutting down runways and children creating chocolate artwork.

Artcrawl
Harlem. 12:00p.m. Julia de Burgos Cultural Center, 1680
Lexington Ave. (bet. E. 105th and E. 106th Sts. Manhattan.
Harlem's new arts renaissance is pretty hard to absorb with just
one exhibition or in a single gallery visit. There's simply too
much going on. Fortunately, ArtCrawl Harlem has devised the perfect
solution-a four-hour trolley tour with stops at a half-dozen of
Harlem's most talked-about galleries, including the likes of Casa
Frela, the Leroy Neiman Art Center and the Studio Museum. It's not
only the most comprehensive way to reconnect with Harlem's vibrant
art scene, it's also the most fun. Admission: $40-$55. For more
information, visit artcrawlharlem.com.

The
New York City Horror Film Festival. Tribeca Cinemas, 54
Varick St. (at Laight St.) Manhattan. They don't tend to win
Oscars or rake in the critical praise, but horror movies always
seem to captivate us, no matter what the budget is or how many
sequels we've already seen. So it's hardly surprising that The New
York City Horror Film Festival-the largest such event dedicated to
the genre-has grown into such a monster (er, sorry). Along with
introducing up-and-coming horror filmmakers to a wider audience,
the festival also pays homage to the legends, from Roger Corman to
George Romero. Basically, if you like your cinema sinister or
spooky, you need to be here. After all, all work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy. For more information, visit
nychorrorfest.com.
