••• Kiva Café is closing its café and switching to catering: “We are planning to have our food at a location near you, in Tribeca, soon… This is our last week on Reade Street. Come celebrate art and Kiva Cafe’s 8 years of retail and hospitality, on Tuesday, October 19th from 6pm–9pm. There will be art to view and buy, classic Kiva music to hear, soul warming beverages to drink, and lots of good times to remember! Kiva Cafe is still here for you! So, if you really want our moist, freshly baked banana chocolate chip or carrot muffins, or our savory mouthwatering quiche… Just email us at kiva.cafe2@verizon.net! We can cater these, as well as our other healthy, delicious foods to your home or office.”

••• The Sweets’ Shop, a burlesque and music show at Duane Park restaurant, has added an early (8 p.m.) show on Saturdays, greatly improving the odds that I’ll finally make it over.

••• Kristin Hersh (once of Throwing Muses) will be at 92YTribeca on Nov. 12.

••• This Thursday, pop by Torly Kid so your child can make a free Magic Color Scratch Halloween Craft.

••• Also on Thursday, Maslow 6 is hosting a Spanish wine seminar.
