Get Local
But seriously...when it comes to shopping... The East Village Community Coalition has released the 3rd edition of its "Get Local" Shopping Guide. As the EVCC notes:
Remember, when you choose locally over mega-chains, you:
-Create local jobs with fair living wages
-Choose creativity and personality over uniformity
-Keep more money in the community
-Provide economic activity and stability
-Sustain small business owners who strengthen the local economy
-Defend our neighborhood's identity
-Fight the lie that low prices at chain stores make up for the loss of local business ownership
"The Brooklyn Heist" starts tonight at the Theatre 80
The Blarney Cove was not open last evening
And I recall the bar being open on previous Thanksgivings... Always a good place to spend the afternoon.
