RESULTS TAGGED “DANCING”

End of summer heat Jamaican you crazy? 12 things to do this weekend to help you deal

The first rasta … but not the last … at Brooklyn Museum this weekend.

1. A Little Dragon is much, much easier to deal with than a fully grown, fire-breathing engine of destruction that is a normal dragon. (Friday)

2. Raise money for youth initiatives, support someone going to college, buy stuff from local farmers. It’s a do-gooder trifecta! (Friday)

3. Can you dance as well as an Olympian? Um, probably not. But you can try! (Friday)

4. Another way to make it a cruel summer? Steal ice cream from children. (Friday)

5. Ride friendship at Delinquency until your heart explodes with The Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt. (Saturday) (more…)

Bar of the Day: Trophy Bar

by Nina Koske | 2.18.10 | 0 Comments

Everyone's a winner at Trophy Bar.

This is the third in our series on the venues featured in the Brooklyn Beer Book (great places, all, even without coupons.) In honor of the US gold-medal sweep at the Olympics yesterday, today’s spotlighted establishment is Trophy Bar, the Williamsburg bar where everyone’s a winner.

TROPHY BAR
www.trophybar.blogspot.com
351 Broadway between Rodney St. and Keap St., Williamsburg, 347-227-8515

What it is: A trophy-themed bar, tucked away on Broadway under the JMZ.
Why we love it: The friendly bartenders, the backyard garden, and the regular hosts of DJs and dance parties on the weekends.
Who to bring: First and second dates if it’s a weeknight. On the weekend, bring only those you aren’t embarrassed to dance like a fool in front of.
What to order: Mix things up and get one of their signature cocktails like the Best in Show or Runner up.
Trophy Bar fun fact: This bar is the work of the team from Stay Gold Gallery, and we hear something about Asia Dog on the back patio in the summer.

You get Fred Flare (left) The brand with the ultimate cute factor has been an online shop for over 10 years, with affordable and stylish findings: clothing, accessories, home goods, etc. But they just recently opened a physical location in Greenpoint. With nice employees and a cheerful design, this little store could be the happiest place in Brooklyn. Fred Flare, 131 Meserole Ave, 718-349-1257, www.fredflare.com. (more…)
