Opening Early Marathon Day, Sunday, November 1.
On marathon day, Sunday, November 1, we'll be opening early, at 9 am, to host people who want to watch the marathon, which runs right by our bar. You can watch the leaders and the pack (go Mike Romanos!) pass by out of our big windows and enjoy the fact that you're not running 26 miles, via beer. We'll also have a barbecue station on the sidewalk outside, so you can grab some cheap hot dogs and burgers, or bring meat/veggies of your own to grill. Finally, we'll have our usual Marathon Marys for for $7 per pint glass of goodness.
Poetry Thursday!

Fiction tomorrow!
The Pacific Standard Fiction Series
featuring Victor LaValle and Robert Lopez
Tuesday, October 27th, 7:00 p.m.
Books available on-site!
Drink specials selected by dartboard!
Come see why New York Magazine named us "Best New Literary Event of 2008!"
*
Victor LaValle's second novel, the newly published BIG MACHINE, has given The Wall Street Journal and Mos Def something they can agree on (sort of: the former likened the book to Ralph Ellison and Thomas Pynchon, where latter name-checked Edgar Allen Poe and Gabriel Garcia Marquez). His previous book, The Ecstatic, was a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award. LaValle is also the author of a story collection, Slapboxing with Jesus. He has earned a Whiting Writers' Award and the key to the city of Jamaica, Queens.
Robert Lopez's second novel, the newly published KAMBY BOLONGO MEAN RIVER, is "disturbing and inspiring and at all times hypnotic," writes Bookslut. His previous novel, Part of the World, garnered numerous comparisons to Samuel Beckett. Lopez's fiction and poetry has appeared in Bomb, The Threepenny Review, and The Mississippi Review. He teaches at The New School.

No jokes, please
but Dick's Brewing, a great Washington brewery, has just come out to New York City. We now have their flagship beer on tap:
Dick’s Brewing Dick Danger Ale (Centralia, WA; $6/16 oz). Dick’s Brewing’s flagship beer has a large percentage of black malts, giving it a dark brown color and a slightly roasted flavor. Magnum hops provide a backbone of bitterness, and large additions of Mt. Hood hops come through in the finish. The result is a drinkable dark ale which bridges the gap between pale and porter. 4.5% ABV.
