5 Things: Volunteer with Big!Compost

1. Weigh in: So Brooklyn Assemblyman Dov Hikind's Purim outfit was not particularly well received, according to outrage that immediately flooded the internet. Check out a photo and some reactions on Gothamist. Thoughts?

2. Think green: Big!Compost is looking for volunteers to help out with a variety of events across the city, including the "Grow Our Grass Roots" conference on March 16 at Borough Hall. Check out their list of events here.

3. Get hitched: DNAinfo has an informative piece on some top-notch Brooklyn locales for couples looking for places to tie the knot, including suggestions for the price-conscious. For instance, did you know that while Prospect Park's Audubon Center is quite costly, the Picnic House is "pretty darn affordable"?

4. Get involved: Community Board 12 will hold its monthly meeting at the AMICO Senior Center, located at 5901 13th Ave. on the third floor, from 7 to 8 p.m.

5. Move your car: Alternate side parking is in effect today.
