MY WEEKEND: Jon Glaser

You may recall Jon Glaser’s councilman from “Parks and Recreation” or his dopey Laird on “Girls.” But he’s also a writer (“Inside Amy Schumer,” “Jon Glaser Loves Gear”) and a married father of two whose life revolves around Prospect Park. That’s where he trained for Sunday’s New York City Marathon, at which he’ll raise money for Paul Newman’s Hole in the Wall Gang Camp for sick children. Glaser, 51, tells SUZYWEISS about his favorite off-screen haunts.

My son does flag football and my daughter is doing soccer, so that ends up being a big part of the weekend. They also both ride bikes, which is extremely fun — we’ll go to the park and do a loop or two. We just moved to Windsor Terrace from Park Slope [and] we’re still trying to find our spots. There’s a place called Le Paddock that we’ve already been to for brunch. They’ve got great pizza and delicious buffalo cauliflower. I’ve been trying to do no meat for a few months. I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but I was watching Netflix’s “Our Planet” four or five months ago, and I started thinking about it more and more.

East Wind Snack Shop has these amazing pork ribs, but I’m not going to get those anymore. A week ago, I was at Calexico in Park Slope with my daughter, and I would always get the fried-chicken tacos. I got it without thinking twice. It also has bacon on it. I looked at my plate and thought, “Oh, I have to take the bacon off,” and then I realized, “Oh, I have to take all of this off.” I ate it anyway. It was delicious.

The last time I did the marathon, in 2017, we went to Jacques Torres and I got a big chocolate chip cookie. You have to get it off the warmer. It gets it nice and soft, and the chocolate gets so melty inside. I’ll probably get that and a hot chocolate.

For running stuff, I go to JackRabbit in Park Slope. I saw these compression tights. Some compression tights, or recovery tights, might be cool, or maybe a Theragun massager. Those things are awesome.
