NY Mag: Where to Drink in South Slope
In case you missed it, this week's New York Magazine features an article on where to drink in 10 NYC neighborhoods. The South Slope was highlighted and, of course, Fifth Avenue was declared as the place to be. Congratulations to Prospect (545 Fifth Avenue), The Owl Farm (297 9th Street at 5th Avenue, off the avenue but part of the BID), and The Monro (481 Fifth Avenue) for being highlighted.
Check out the full article here.
Thanks to South Slope News for the tip!

Musical Ecologies: Jason Cady
Tomorrow night, drop by The Old Stone House for an evening of conversation and performance by Jason Cady, composer of experimental vocal and chamber music, hosted by composer Dan Joseph.
The Wire describes Cady’s one-act opera, Post-Madonna Prima Donna, as, “thoughtful satire, sharp composition.” WQXR’s Operavore described his two-act opera Happiness is the Problem as keeping “the energy hovering at 11 consistently, fusing the stilettoed [sic] coloratura of Mozart’s ‘Queen of the Night’ with Glass at his most hyper-caffeinated; you’re left gasping at the end for a reprieve, while admiring the psychological underpinnings of Cady’s work.”
There is a sample of Cady's work, above, or visit his website here.
The event starts at 8pm. Suggested donation at the door.

Art of Brooklyn Film Festival 2013
Starting this week, check out films from emerging filmmakers who are Brooklyn-born, Brooklyn-based and Brooklyn-centric at the 3rd annual Art of Brooklyn Film Festival.
The event is the only international film festival to showcase films and filmmakers that all have a meaningful connection to Brooklyn. That means cast or crew were born and raised here, or now live and work here. They also screen films from across the country and around the world that were shot in or inspired by Brooklyn.
Check it out (just remember to visit a Fifth Avenue bar or restaurant before or after the films)!
