Unfortunately, spending the weekend scoring a seat on the infamous fashion "Bench" down on the Lower East Side was so "two months ago." It isn't too late though to channel your inner New York scenester by hitting up one of these five events. While your at it, don't forget to check out our Hot List and Sales Roundup!

1. You've heard the warning all year, this may be the last chance to play at Coney Island, so head out to the Rockabilly Festival this weekend for a slew of activities including a burlesque show and a roller derby.

2. Inspired by the local East Harlem community, Nicole Romano will showcase her latest collection in a runway show at the East Harlem Arts Festival this weekend.

3. Are you feeling the blues from a recent break-up and have a sudden urge for BBQ? Then this weekend's Eighth Annual Blues Barbecue on the Hudson River Park may be the cure for you.

4. Wanna out-fashion Paris Hilton's dog? Check out Pet Fashion Week at the Metropolitan Pavilion this weekend, but be sure to bring your business credentials to get in.

5. If you're thinking about the Barney's Warehouse Sale this weekend, I would suggest multiple credit cards and sharp finger nails.
