FreeNYC Event Flyer

Date: Tuesday, November 25th
Time: 6:00pm
Location: Studio-X (180 Varick Street, Suite 1610)
Cost: Free with RSVP

"Visual and performance artist Karen Finley will lead this group meeting, featuring invited and volunteer testimonials sharing our emotional responses to the election and the various needs for space—physical, social, cultural and psychological—that it exposed. How do our national political relationships inform or dialogue with the workplace, family, community and friends? How do the race, gender, class and identity issues raised in the campaign continue to be discussed? Finley will also address the transformation of the memory of Chicago's Grant Park (and the 1968 Democratic Convention) from a site of pain and loss into one of celebration and unity on November 4th, as well as legacies of Vietnam War protests and the Civil Rights Movement embodied in that space."

Date: Tuesdays
Time: 8:00pm
Location: Luca Bar (119 St. Marks Place, btw 1st Ave and Avenue A)

Instead of the usual hump day tomfoolery, why not take a quiet night at Luca Bar. Sip some fine wine (or have a small bite to eat) while listening to live Flamenco music in a chill French Bistro-like setting. We've also been told they have the city's best sangria.

Out Fishing

FreeNYC Event Flyer

Date: Tuesdays
Time: 8:30pm - 10:00pm
Location: Lazy Catfish (593 Lorimer St at Conselyea)
Open Bar: PBR, 8:30-10

Out Fishing pops up randomly all the time time on our site, and then disappears for months. But now we've gotten word that its back and its nice to have a happy-hour-ish open bar for us working stifs. There may be no more board games and no more free hot dogs (just cheap ones) but there is still free PBR and $1 wells from 10-11 afterwards. I guess this is now a BYOS night (Bring Your Own Scrabble).

FreeNYC Event Flyer

Date: Tuesdays
Time: 10:00pm - late
Location: Happy Ending (302 Broome St at Forsythe)
Cost: Free
Open Bar: Yup, see below

So Tuesdays seem to to be the day for free boozin lately and Happy Ending seems to take the cake with two separate parties and two separate open bars. First, 66Sick girls take on one floor (with guest Cobra Krames this week) and bring you electro-glammed out trashyness in the basement with a full hour of open bar from 11-12. While upstairs, the Disco Down crew bring some 80's love to the floor with an open vodka bar from 11:30-12. Seems like if you like free boozin, this is the place to be tonight. 21+
