 ‣ Architect John McGill makes an interesting case for the reuse of down under the Culver Viaduct, that hulking contraption charged with getting F and G trains over the Gowanus.
‣ Cooper Union architecture prof Kevin Bone discusses The Secret Life of New York City Water tonight at CUNY (not Cooper Union), 6:30pm, in the Spitzer School of Architecture's Sciame Auditorium, 141 Convent Ave. [135th].
photography… Simply Beautiful may sound more like a hair product than an exhibit but don't let that dissuade you. These limited edition prints, a selection from the 11 million-image National Geographic Image Collection, aren't just beauties: many are affecting, too. The show opens tonight at the Steven Kasher Gallery, 521 W. 23rd [10th/11th] 212.966.3978. Pictured: Jim Richardson's New York City Skyline in Fog.
 art… Opening October 28th, 6pm, at Matthew Marks, 522 W. 22nd [10th/11th] 212.243.0200, Brice Marden's first one-person show since his 2006 MoMA retrospective. It's called Letters and features work inspired by a trip to China and Chinese calligraphy.
shopping… It's the third annual Steampunk Day in DUMBO, 155 Water [Pearl/Anchorage], 11-8pm. Plenty of retro-futuristic Victorian goodness: fashion, jewelry, clothes, a fashion show, and a literary corner. $5.
out of town… Roundtrip to Guatemala, plus four hotel nights and breakfast, $399. Add taxes of about $100. Visit Antiqua, the market at Chichicastenango, and the gorgeous Lake Atitlan.
 ‣ Fans of Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City will be happy to catch up with one of its central characters in Mary Ann in Autumn, out 11/2.
theater… Mark Rylance, starring in La Bête on Broadway, performs Off the Grid in Manhattan on Monday, November 8th, 7pm. It's a benefit for the Stella Adler Studio and will showcase Mr. Rylance's improv skills. $100.
 ‣ Stanley Kubrick's superb, impassioned, antiwar movie Paths of Glory (1957) screens at Anthology Film Archives on Monday, 7 and 9pm.
 ‣ Jonesing for new Law & Order episodes (L.A. notwithstanding)? Maybe Law & Order UK on BBC America will scratch that itch, though some of the episodes are remakes of NYC cases. And the courtroom wigs seem comically mismatched to the L&O vibe. Your call.
‣ Thirty bucks seems a tad high for a Candy Apple Making Class. But you do get an apple martini shot to help your prep and you can take your handiwork with you. Tonight at Sidebar, 120 E. 15th [Irving] 212.677.2900.
