Friends,

Today is Yom Kippur, so I should be busy repenting and reflecting at the moment, but you all need to have plans this weekend so first, The Weekend Buzz!

Red Hook Fire Relief at Strong Rope and Sunny’s

As you may have heard, there was a five alarm fire that wiped out a row of artists’ lofts in Red Hook, taking decades of history, artistry, and dreams, leaving behind a lot to rebuild. The community is rallying to raise money to support artists who have been displaced and have lost all of their work.

Strong Rope is doing a fundraiser Friday and Sunday (they are closed for a private event on Saturday): For every pint of Van Der Sahle Pilsner sold this Friday 10/3 and Sunday 10/4, we will donate $1 towards artists and businesses affected by the fire.

Tell your friends, order a Pilsner, and continue to donate to the GoFundMe. Down the street, Sunny’s Bar is also doing a benefit Monday October 6th at 8pm, with music by Sad Pageant and Palmetto Chain, free with a $25 suggested donation.

The rest of the Weekend Buzz is below, with details on an al fresco Fall Feast and a party for hard cider! I hope you’ll consider supporting my work and becoming a paid member. In addition to the weekly Weekend Buzz, you’ll get perks like a restaurant help line, exclusive events like the Oyster Party we had at The Yacht Club this week, and the joy of knowing you're supporting me! What’s better than that? Have a great weekend my friends, See you Monday!
