Booze and Schmooze with the City Reliquary

Toast Brooklyn's food and drink purveyors at this benefit for the City Reliquary, a nonprofit museum dedicated to preserving NYC culture. Enjoy bites from Williamsburg spots such as Saltie and the the Meat Hook as you visit seven tippling stations, each hosted by a Kings County establishment. Sample cocktails like the Richardson's rum-based Ginger Lee No. 2, try suds such as Brooklyn Brewery's Local No. 1 and taste vino from the Red Hook Winery. While you sip, you can chat up booze experts like Nicole Austin of Kings County Distilling. The $75 Happy Hour ticket gets you three solid hours of boozing (8–11pm); a $100 Happier Hour ticket gets you in at 7pm to beat the crowds.
