Local favorite Connie O’s Pub has just renovated its backyard and is opening it up to the public as a seated outdoor drinking area / bring-your-own-meat BBQ spot.
To celebrate the yard (and finally!) the arrival of warmer days, they’re having a big BBQ bash/cookout with free burgers, veggie burgers and hot dogs with $1 mugs of beer this Saturday.
The pub also boasts a number of all-day-every-day happy hour drink specials: $1.50 mugs of tap beer, upwards of $2 for bottled domestic beers and upwards of $4 for mixed drinks. There is also a $25 open bar special and $1 mugs of tap beer and free pool on Sundays and Mondays.
Hey book lovers, here’s a save the date event just for you. Reader Bethany is organizing an all out book swap/benefit next month – BYOB: Bring Your Old Books – and wants to make sure you’re saving all your unwanted books during your spring cleaning.
The event is in Williamsburg on June 19th, but if anyone wants to donate books beforehand because they can’t make the event (or are moving, etc.), I’m allowing drop-off at my place in Greenpoint – I’ll haul them all up to Public Assembly the day of. Anyone who wants to do early donations, has questions, wants to donate a raffle prize etc. can email me bethanypickard@gmail.com
If you’re able to come swap the day of, great! If you’d like to donate your gently used books without swapping, we’re looking for donations prior to/day of the event. Please email if you have books you would like to donate.
Also, if you know a business who wants to donate a raffle prize or books please let us know!
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Housing Works. An anonymous publisher has pledged to match BYOB’s donation up to $1500! In addition, any unswapped books will be donated to the bookstore.

Think you make a kickass Bloody Mary? Well then show off your skills at Manhattan Inn’s competition for The Best Bloody Mary in Williamsburg and Greenpoint!
The competition will take place on Sunday, May 15th at 5pm at Manhattan Inn. There are 12 spots and anyone can enter. All ingredients will be provided, but contestants are allowed to bring additional “secret ingredients” if they choose. There will be surprise musical performances as well!
Bloody Marys will be under the scrutiny of 5 judges:
Vitorio Arviv: Manhattan Inn Executive Chef
Ben Sargent: Brooklyn’s Master Lobster Roll and Chowder Man
Jenny Penny Curry: Owner of Williamsburg bar DuckDuck
Chris Keating: of the band Yeasayer
Abbey Ley: of GlassLands and Manhattan Inn
Robert (Treb) Provenz: Professional Bloody Mary Drinker and 15yr Williamsburg Resident.
They will be judged on taste, of course, as well as presentation, creativity, and level of spiciness.
In addition to the prestigious title as creator of “The Best Bloody Mary in Williamsburg & Greenpoint,” the winner’s Bloody Mary creation will be featured on the Manhattan Inn brunch menu for one month, and they will receive a gift certificate as well.
Come to Brooklyn Howls for our spring fling to benefit Dog Habitat Rescue May 22 at Glasslands in Williamsburg. Bands, booze and burlesque will give you good reasons to howl all night long. Every penny goes to saving lives… that makes it even more fun.
