• Immerse yourself on Saturday

  17-05-2018 20:06
  Our first Immersion of the year is this Saturday, May 19, and while the weather could be a tad better, it’s nothing that a few Brooklyn Brewery beers, Mighty Quinn’s BBQ, Crabby Shack tacos and other Crown Heights treats can’t cure. The day-long beer, food and shopping crawl runs from noon to six, and a $15 ticket will give you four Brooklyn Brewery beers (one each at Berg’n, Two Saints, Nostrand Avenue Pub and Super Power) plus tons of deals like free coffee and 35% off

  17-05-2018 19:52
