Friends, <\/p>\n
This weekend, I\u2019ve got a terrific collection of events lined up for you \u2014 a beer garden welcoming one of Brooklyn\u2019s most beloved local artists, a community wine dinner to connect with neighbors, and a fun gala in the park to support the Park Slope civic council. <\/p>\n
But before we get to all that, wanted to share a few odds and ends. First, I loved this piece in The New Yorker\u2019s Talk of the Town this week about two guys who\u2019ve invented a compass that only points to the Olive Garden in Times Square<\/a>. <\/p>\n Also worth your time: this investigative piece by Ian Urbina in <\/a>The New York Times<\/a> examining the impact of farmed fish on the seas. <\/p>\n Finally, if you\u2019re a runner heading to Philadelphia, check out this collaboration at Anna & Bel<\/a> leading up to the Philadelphia Marathon. The stylish boutique hotel in Fishtown, home to Bastia, has teamed up with lululemon<\/a> and The Makers Table<\/a> for a six-week series of two-mile runs led by lululemon ambassadors and local community partners.<\/p>\n Each run starts at the hotel and ends with coffee and refreshments on the Caletta patio, plus surprise take-home goodies. The runs happen rain or shine every Friday from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. through November 13, including the run and post-run refreshments. Participation is free, with registration available through Eventbrite<\/a>. I\u2019m thinking of a weekend trip just to join in. <\/p>\n Oh one more thing \u2014 a reminder that I\u2019ll be at Liz\u2019s Book Bar on Tuesday Oct 20th (7-8pm) teaching How to Become a Food Writer! If you\u2019ve been hoping to start pitching or want to start your own Substack, this class is for you. Tickets are $30<\/a>. Hope you can make it!<\/p>\n And now, your Weekend Buzz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Friends, This weekend, I\u2019ve got a terrific collection of events lined up for you \u2014 a beer garden…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":373871,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-373870","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373870","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=373870"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373870\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/373871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=373870"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=373870"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=373870"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
