Each tribe is also devoted to six different kinds of music — funk, country, techno, classical, pop and rock. When rockers Queen Barb and King Thrash set out to destroy the other music, Poppy and Branch embark on a daring mission to unite the trolls and save the diverse melodies from becoming extinct.

In case of inclement weather, movie will be held in the Paula Hassell O’Connor Community Building at Prospect Park.

Foodie spotlight dish of the week: Steak frites at Foodie spotlight dish of the week: Steak frites at @cafe.touche in Edison Park (you’ll find this dish featured in our big fall issue)

Touché’s version of this Parisian staple is a thick 12-ounce NY strip or eight-ounce filet, cooked to your liking with a bordelaise (wine-and-marrow-based brown sauce) or au poivre (bold, creamy peppercorn pan sauce), all with a pad of butter melting over the top as it arrives at your table. Worth mentioning, too, that Wednesdays are half-price bottles of wine at Touche, and martinis are $8 on Thursdays.
