Music? Food? And all of the natty wines you can glug? Check, check and check!
On Saturday, August 23, Fort Greene's Rhodora Wine Bar is taking over the block for its annual block party. For its fourth year in rotation, the afternoon will include live music all day, including tunes from art and music collective Papi Juice, Starchild & The New Romantic and DJ Sasha Crush. Shy’s Burgers and Frys will be manning the grill while chef Sam Friedman of the wine bar will be running a special menu inside. Sweets are most certainly on order as Tess McNamara (@tessyummies) will be providing cakes by the slice. And if you need to chill from the heat, grab a rare scoop from the organic ice cream pop-up, Little Rat. No surprise here, but the zero-waste wine bar will be pouring wines by the glass or you can easily snag a bottle so you can sip and sway with your best group of pals.
But this is a block party that gives back. One hundred percent of proceeds will go towards One Love Community Fridge to reestablish a community fridge in the neighborhood. The celebration goes all the way to 10pm, so come hungry, come thirsty and come ready to party.
