Happy weekend, Borderstan! Here are my top picks for what to do in and around the neighborhood this weekend.

Friday, August 19

• Head over to Black Cat for the inaugural Friday Night Frights of the season, featuring two episodes of Tales From the Crypt and drink specials every Friday from 7 pm to 8:30. Spooky scary.
• Beer Week is also still in full swing. Check out Alejandra’s local guide for more info on where to drink this weekend.
