Dear ProHo People, ProHo Babies, Friends of ProHo (FoP) and Members of the Brooklyn Blogerati,
We have been thinking long and hard about some very deep issues. The DAILY HEIGHTS community is so diverse–what is it that unites us? A shared sense of citizenship? A desire for change for the greater good? Or a special fondness for knocking off early and grabbing a pint at the corner pub?
Let’s go with #3:
DAILY HEIGHTS HAPPY HOUR/RAFFLE
Thursday, April 28; 6:00 PM til ?; at SODA BAR; 629 Vanderbilt Ave.; 718-230-8393;
Drink specials: $3 pints til 8 pm, more?
DRINK BEER – WIN PRIZES! Thanks to staceyjoy for her generous donation of this HAND-EMBROIDERED “ProHo Ho” T-shirt (pictured), which we will raffle off, along with a men’s version (maybe “ProHo Pimp”? Is that too obvious?).
We’re seeking a third raffle item, so if you or your business has something to donate, let us know. All proceeds from the raffle go toward planning more DH events, of course.
This sounds great, but I have a baby, and… Great! So do we! SODA is a baby-friendly (or at least baby-tolerant) establishment. Bring ’em by. Off the top of my head, I can think of 3 other younguns who will be there to play with–and exchange germs with–your kid.
“Excuse me, are you Jewish?” (No, and I’m in the middle of a 7-minute mile, do you mind?) The happy hour will be certified Passover-friendly (i.e. potato Vodka, maybe macaroons?) thanks to DAILY HEIGHTS regular QUIG, one of only two Brooklyn members of the Loyal League of Yiddish Sons of Erin. Guess who the other one is (hint: he’s a thumbs-up kind of a guy).
Grrr. I can’t make it! I’ll donate a PPK dvd for the raffle though.
Jessie and I should be able to make it. If we had a baby, we would bring the little booger. We have a dog, and the speciesists at Soda don’t allow even small dogs!
Anyone know of any dog-friendly bars in the PH?
The happy hour sounds like a fun idea but it is strange that people would bring babies to a bar. Sounds like in the future we should have two separate events — a happy hour for adults and then a family event.
I don’t worry about my kid, she doesn’t drink that much.
DeeDee said, “…it is strange that people would bring babies to a bar.”
Color me strange, then. I am in Soda Bar with my baby girl many times a week. In some bars this may be an issue, but not at Soda, given a)the amount of space, b)the relatively early time for which the happy hour is scheduled, and c)the graciousness of Toli and his staff.
I do recommend remunerating the servers appropriately for the inevitable extra mess that accompanies the little ones 🙂
Wow Quig your lucky. My 8 year old is a real boozehound 🙂
Suite For The Way Things Change
What a difference the sun and a furry companion make! Believe it or not, I’ve actually been going around with a smile on my face. And when I’m lounging about my house, I’d rather be making tuna casserole than fucking…
