Break out the earplugs, New York. This week in music there's a little something for everyone.
• Lesley Gore and Jill Sobule put a new spin on some old standards at Joe's Pub in the Park on the 19th.
• Alt-rock darlings Kings of Leon trade Tennessee for NYC when they hit Radio City Music Hall on the 19th.
• Get your trance on with the Chemical Brothers at the Hammerstein Ballroom on the 21st.

You want culture? We got culture. Block after block of it. But these venues and exhibits should move to the top of your list.
• P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center. Haven't been there yet? Don't tell anyone. Quietly go and discover what all the hype is about for yourself.
• Drop in and catch the psychedelic multimedia of the Whitney's Summer of Love exhibit.
• From improv to pirate burlesque, Park Slope's Brooklyn Lyceum always has a little something for everyone.
Undeniably, one of the best times over the weekend is a killer brunch and great company. Here's where that not-quite-breakfast, not-quite-lunch time of day reigns supreme; you supply the rest.
• Have the quintessential New York brunch and bagel plate at Barney Greengrass.
• Down a fluffy stack of heavenly pancakes at Clinton Street Baking Co.
• Wash down some huevos with the specialty margaritas at Lobo on Court Street.
• Bask in the Indian Summer sun in the back garden of Relish in Williamsburg.

• Change your perspective with The Shapes of Space at the Guggenheim.
• Experience the mighty European art collection inside the Frick.
• Typography enthusiasts will love MoMA's 50 Years of Helvetica exhibit.
• Experience the sculptures of Frank Stella on the Roof at the Met.

• Get on line at Maoz Vegetarian for fresh Middle Eastern morsels that'll make you weak in the knees.
