This week in 24/Seven

Each week we'll preview what you can expect in our 24/Seven print edition, out Thursday for you southern Brooklynites and Friday for the downtown neighborhoods.

Highlights include:

Music: Au Revoir Simone, the all-female piano trio that perfects dreamy, meloncholy pop, returns to the Brooklyn music scene with a new album, "Still Night, Still Light," and a show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg May 29.

Columns: The Kitchen Klutz experiments with PB & J Pancakes, Pumps & Pleats checks out Jane's Exotic Jewelry, new to Sheepshead Bay, and our latest addition,"Mangiare Bene!" gives a lesson in farina.

Books: Baseball season is getting into full swing, but old-time Brooklyn baseball fans can take a step back - to 1957 - and reconsider Walter O'Malley, the former Dodgers owner who's primarily to blame for moving the Dodgers out of Brooklyn, in Michael D'Antonio's book, "Blue: The True Story of Walter O’Malley," which posits that O’Malley made an earnest effort to keep “Dem Bums” in the borough.

Carnival: Be a rock star for a day with the Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls' Rockin' Spring Carnival, featuring lessons in drums, bass, guitar, vocals and songwriting from May 30-31 in DUMBO. Adults can help support the organization, which offers a girls rock camp every summer in Brooklyn, with their Willie Mae-Ra-Thon, a weekend of shows at some of the borough's best venues, running May 28-31.

Food: Feast on chicken kabobs, tabouli and kibbe at the Lebanese Food Festival, organized by the Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Catholic Cathedral in Brooklyn Heights. The street festival runs May 29-31.
