That’s all, folks

Remember the days before mediocre cartoons like “Spongebob Squarepants” and “Dragonball Z”? Of course you do. Take the kids and show them what a real cartoon is like with a marathon of Bugs Bunny shorts — and then stay for Disney’s sort-of classic, “Dumbo.” The good news? Flying elephant. The bad news? It’s Disney, so someone dies.

6:15 pm. Moxie Spot [81 Atlantic Ave. between Henry and Hicks streets in Brooklyn Heights, (718) 923-9710]. Tickets, $2.50 per kid.

Hip gallery hop

Seeking inspiration for a classy holiday gift? Check out the “Smart” Brooklyn Gallery Hop, which features shuttle busses to take you and your disposible income to galleries all over the borough. Experts will be on hand to offer advice about buying and collecting art (and, conveniently, they’ll sell it to you). More important, there will be plenty of free refreshments.

Starts at 1 pm. Shuttles take off from various locations on Saturday and Sunday. Check http://www.visitbrooklyn.org for full schedules and information.

Hot stuff

You know what? We’re sick of all you anti-hipsters complaining about the glut of cookoffs. We happen to like the idea of paying one low fee to sample dozens of varieties of chili in one cool location. There’ll be Texas chili (big beef chunks), Cincinatti chili (with cinnamon, served over pasta), and even vegetarian chili. Really, what could go wrong?

4 pm. Brooklyn chili takedown. The Bell House [149 Seventh St. at Third Avenue in Gowanus, (718) 643-6510], http://www.thebellhouseny.com. Tickets, $15.

Snoop and booze

A scavenger hunt with drink specials, now that’s a winning combination. Plenty of prizes abound in The Great Gowanus Pilgramage Pre-Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt, which at the very least will be more entertaining than listening to your relatives run their mouths. And after the hunt, stick around for the after-party with DJ Andy Beta!

5 pm check-in. The Bell House [149 Seventh St. between Second and Third avenues, (718) 643-6510]. $5 per person, 2-4 people per team.

Skate up a storm

Grab a date, or Grandma (hey, it’s Thanksgiving), bundle up and head over to Wollman Rink on opening day to build up a big appetite for the our annual autumnal bacchanal. Who needs tryptophan when you can get tired and sleepy the old-fashioned way.

10 am-6 pm. Prospect Park [enter near Lincoln Road and Ocean Avenue in Prospect Lefferts-Gardens, (718) 287-6431]. Tickets $5, $6.50 for ice skates. Closed 1-2 pm.
