Everyone, I have to get a cavity filled today, and I’m really scared, WAHHH. Yes, I floss. No, I don’t know how this happened. I’m choosing to focus on better things, like the fact that The Strokes are back in NYC in less than a week.

So consider this your final reminder: the local legends are taking over Corona Park on Friday with Beach House and TV On The Radio, and you could be there for free. Enter to win.

• Employees Only: West Village

• Isla & Co: Williamsburg, LES & Midtown

• Temple Bar: NoHo
