5 Things: Burlesque at Way Station, Black History Kids Events, Late-Night Q Delays, More

1. You need Burlesque! Celebrate The Way Station's one-year anniversary with The Way Station's Anniversary Party with Wasabassco Burlesque. 683 Washington Ave. bet. St. Marks and Prospect. 9 p.m. No cover.

2. You need to get to the museum. Head there tonight for Brooklyn Museum's "Thursdays @ 7" This week there is a gallery tour of the exhibit African Innovations and a screening of The Story of Lover's Rock, both at 7. 200 Eastern Parkway. Free with suggested museum admission of $12.

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 two events at the Brooklyn Children's Museum celebrating Black History Month: Let's Join Hands, which explores differences and similarities of varous cultures and MLK's message of tolerance for kids 5 and under at 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. and Black History Jeopardy for kids 6 and up at 2:30 p.m. Brooklyn Children's Museum. Free with museum admission of $7.50 for kids over 12 months and adults. 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. Alternate side won't be suspended again until Thursday, March 8 for Purim, according to the NYCDOT.
