 event ‣ Shinsai: Theaters for Japan is the result of commissions from American and Japanese theater artists—plays and music performed to draw attention, on Sunday, March 11th, to the one-year anniversary of the earthquake and subsequent disasters that befell Japan. The works will be presented in two performances, 3pm and 8pm, tickets are $25 for general admission ($250 for reserved seating) and the event takes place at Cooper Union's Great Hall. Proceeds go to members of Japan's theater community affected by the earthquake.
movies ‣ Jiro Dreams of Sushi is a documentary about Jiro Ono, considered by many the world's greatest sushi chef; his 10-seat spot in a Tokyo subway station has 3 Michelin stars. The film opens on Friday at Lincoln Plaza and IFC.
Opening March 14th at Film Forum, Gerhard Richter Painting—a movie about the great artist.
music ‣ The exceptional lineup of singers, writers, and comedians for John Wesley Harding's Cabinet of Wonders series at City Winery on March 10th: Meg Baird, Bhi Bhiman, Sloane Crosley, A.M. Homes, Eugene Mirman, Sondre Lerche, and Joe Pernice.
books ‣ Can't find a book to read? No excuse: the 75 books published by New York Review Books are 50% off through March 19th: novels, history, memoirs, poetry, and children's books. We doubt there's a more interesting collection of republished books anywhere. Enjoy these other worlds.
 out of town ‣ Meet up with wolves, an hour outside the city. Twice a month, Outdoor Bound Adventures organizes Hike & Howl, a hike in the Kittatinny Mountains followed by time in a wolf preserve. The next one is March 10th, $89.
