Three things to do in Brookline this weekend

Take one look at the Brookline Patch Calendar and you'll see there's no shortage of things to keep you and your family busy this weekend. Here are a few of the happenings we're most excited about:

With the recent opening of Grape Leaves and the Meat House, Brookline now has three full butcher shops within half a mile of each other (Grape Leaves being just down the street from The Butcherie). So fire up the grill and head to JFK Crossing and Coolidge Corner and unleash your inner carnivore (bonus points if you eat some animal from all three).

Better known as a supplier of local produce and the last working farm in Boston (even if it's mostly in Brookline), Allandale Farm now has one more bullet point for its resume: outdoor art gallery. The farm has invited 16 artists to install sculptures on the farm's trees, paths, ponds and buildings for a self-guided exhibit that opens today and goes through Oct. 21. The artists call the show a "meditation on farming, land, nature, time, the implications of modern civilization and its sprawl, urban community dynamics, as well as the vast possibilities and sensibilities of the contemporary arts." Check it out.

Sidney Stratton is fictional man who invented a suit that never get dirty or wears out; Marc Abrahams is a real-life man who owns a self-perfuming suit. Both men will be at the Coolidge Corner Theatre on Monday for a Science on Screen presentation of "The Man in the White Suit," a 1950s comedy featuring Alec Guinness as Stratton. Abrahams, the originator of the Ig Noble Prizes, will be there as well to talk about the awards, which honor research of the unusual and unexpected, and show of one of its recipients: a suit that perfumes itself.
