Cheap$kate: FREE events in NYC this week

Jim Gaffigan
Funny man Jim Gaffigan takes on fatherhood in his new book, “Dad Is Fat,” in which he discusses taking on life with five kids — both the joys and the horrors, as he describes it. The actor and comedian, probably best known for his riffs on Hot Pockets, will be at Barnes & Noble Tribeca Thursday to sign copies of the book. (Thursday night, 6 p.m., FREE, B&N Tribeca, 97 Warren St., 212- 587-5389, bn.com)
