Yes, you are absolutely correct. The bar is my specialty - we're looking into a liquor license as we speak! As far as the food menu is concerned, that is unfortunately not my arena! But an impressive new chef has been hired, and I will say that, from what I've had, I was over the moon! It's very straight forward, honest food. I will be sure to mention a reduced, more simple menu for the future. <blockquote><cite>whynot_31 <a href="http://brooklynian.com/forum/prospect-heights/try-skazzy-cafe-this-weekend-for-googamooga-689-washington-blvd#post-768174">said</a>:</cite> BTW, it sounds as if you are looking to earn more revenue from drinks in the future. Will you be scaling back on the number of items on your menu? </blockquote>

Opera OGGI New York Presents Puccini's Suor Angelica

OperaGirl — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 15:08:52 +0000

Now in its fifth year, the revolutionary “indie” opera company known as OperaOggiNY offers the next of their many 2013 productions: the exceptionally talented performers, under the artistic direction of Maestro Thomas Lawrence Toscano, proudly present Giacomo Puccini’s Suor Angelica. The second of a trio of operas called Il Trittico, Puccini’s Suor Angelica begins as a snapshot of daily life in a 17th century Italian convent, portraying a lively and diverse group of women united in worship by different life paths. The radiant Sister Angelica is adored as she emanates an aura of divinity that is felt by all in the convent; but even though she is deeply loved by her sisters, they still furtively speculate about Angelica’s secret past that she has kept hidden from everyone. Little does anyone know that the woman who knows Angelica’s secret has just arrived – and what this woman tells Angelica shakes her to her very core. The musical force of nature Maestro Thomas Lawrence Toscano brings into vivid reality a beautifully tragic tale of one woman’s heart-breaking past, and the powerful moment of her divine redemption. Performance Details: Date & Time: Thursday, March 21 at 7:00 pm Venue: Saint Anthony of Padua Shrine Church, 154 Sullivan Street (Manhattan) Nearest Subway Stations: Houston Street (1), Spring Street (C, E), Prince Street (N, R), Broadway-Lafayette Street (B, D, F, M) Date & Time: Sunday, March 24 at 6:00 pm Venue: Flatbush Reformed Church, 890 Flatbush Avenue (Brooklyn) Nearest Subway Stations: Church Avenue (B, Q), Church Avenue (2, 5) Tickets: $20 General Admission.

Looking for a space for Music

stickyfinfers — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 23:07:37 +0000

Hi, Me and my colleagues are driven of Williamsburg by high rent and we are looking for a space where we can use as our music studio (to record, rehearse and teach from). Having in mind some areas around Gowanus or South Slope, or the Navy Yard where we could get some cheaper space and where we could also make music without bothering the neighbors. Any leads, contacts or ideas about where to look or who to talk to/call would be much appreciated!, Thanks,
