5 Things: 'Girl Model' Documentary and Bach for Beginners

1. Learn something new. If you have always wanted to know ore about classical music, head to Brooklyn Brainery for J.S. Bach: A User's Guide, where you'll get an overview of his work. 190 Underhill Ave. 6:30 p.m. $11. 

2. See a film. Tonight at the Brooklyn Museum there a Documentary Screening of "Girl Model," which follows an American model scout and a 13–year–old girl plucked from a remote Siberian village and promised a lucrative career in Japan. The documentary is followed by a panel discussion. 200 Eastern Parkway, 7 p.m. Free with museum admission of $12, but advance ticket purchase is recommended (details at the link).

3. Treat yourself. Today, March 14, is 'Pi Day,' a holiday celebrating math. Pi is the "symbol used to represent a constant—the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter—which is approximately 3.14159," according to piday.org.

But, honestly, most people use the holiday as an excuse to eat lots of pie. Aware of this fact, Gowanus-based bakers 4&20 Blackbirds will be selling slices of their new seasonal flavors for $3.14 all day long. Sure it's a hike from Prospect Heights. But for such options as Green Chili Chocolate and Maple Lime Custard, it's worth the trip.

4. Dine in Brooklyn. The annual dealfest hosted by Borough President Marty Markowitz kicked off at the beginning of the week and is still going strong, offering lunch for $20.13 and dinner for $28 at participating restaurants. For a complete list of locations, head to visitbrooklyn.org.

5. Move your car. Alternate side parking rules are in effect today.
