A Brooklyn Life

Obviously it’s better to party in Brooklyn than Manhattan (ahem), but where to go? ABL will probably be house-partying it, but if you must go out, here’s some parties within walking distance of our apartment (and maybe yours):

• Abilene: Party for $65 from 9 p.m. to 1a.m. for $65, which includes an open bar and a down-home Southern feast of fried chicken, mac and cheese, veggie beans and cornbread
• Minibar: no answer!
• Brooklyn Social: open late, no cover, "plenty of sparkling drinks to go around"
• Zombie Hut: regular bar,  no cover charge
• Angry Wade’s:$35 gets you a 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. open bar, which includes everything on tap, house drinks, and champagne toast at midnight
• Issue Project Room: $30 nets performances by Hill Niblock, Katherine Liberovskaya, Rebecca Moore, Sarah Ibrahim, Bradley Eros, Stephan Moore, Diana Slattery and Jim Pugliese Phase III–starts at 8 p.m.

• Camp: Party, appetizers and s’mores on the house with no cover.
• Boat: "Open and just open." It will be decorated with sparkling wines for "the moment"
