5 Things: Free Storytelling, Trivia Night, Stand-Up, 'Trainspotting' Showing, More

1. You need to go to a movie, a free movie. Head to the Central Library, where Trainspotting is showing as aprt of the library's "Books into Film" series. 10 Grand Army Plaza, 6:30 p.m., Free. 

2. You need a night out. Tonight you've got a wealth of options including the Ian Duerr Jazz Trio at Dean Street, Trivia at Minor Arcana, Comedy Night at Abigail Cafe & Wine Bar,  Branded Saloon's Bingo & Live Country Music and Storytelling at Tea Lounge.

3. You need to get the kids out of the house. Because of February Break in the public schools, there are a ton of extra weekday events this week, including the Transit Museum: February Break Events. At 11 a.m. there's Subway Storytelling and at 2:30 p.m. there's Create A City, where kids plan a city and build it. For ages 4+ New York Transit Museum, Corner of Boerum Pl & Schermerhorn St, 1:30 p.m., Free with museum admission (adults $7, kids 2-17 and seniors $5). See our weekly kids calendar for more options.

4. You need to know if your train is running ...  You're fine during the day, but late-night track work continues on the Q line and from 11:45 p.m. to 5 a.m. through Friday, Brooklyn bound Q trains will drop you at the Pacific Street N platform. From there you walk over to the Q platform on the Atlantic side, where you wait a really long time (often) and get the connecting Q for the rest of the trip, according to the MTA. (For Manhattn bound trains it's the reverse.) You're probably better off switching to the 2/3 instead.

5. ... And if you have to move your car. You do. The next alternate side suspension is Feb. 22 for Ash Wednesday, according to the NYCDOT.
