Put your comedy chops to the test and see whether you can make a British Grenadier Guard laugh this Saturday as Virgin Atlantic brings a little bit of London across the pond to Union Square. The airline will debut a traditional Grenadier Guard and sentry box in Union Square on Saturday morning, and if you can make that guard crack a smile, you’ll be entered to win a trip to London on Virgin Atlantic. Other goodies and surprises will be on hand. (Saturday, 11 a.m.-4 p.m., FREE, Union Square South at E. 14th St., virginatlantic.com)
