Date: Tuesday, May 5
Time: During business hours: (5 p.m. - 1 a.m.)
Location: Against the Grain, 620 E. Sixth St. between Avenue B and Avenue C
Event Summary: Local bartender Ashish Giri, who is Nepalese, decided to create a benefit for his neighbors back in Nepal.
Much of his family lives in Nepal and his neighborhood has been deeply affected by the recent earthquakes, so he has decided to invite people to come out and drink some beers, eat some food, and hang out at Against the Grain this Tuesday... his shift pay and tips will all go directly to his family to help out in the villages of Gundu and Bhaktapur, outside Kathmandu.
A percentage of draft sales will also be contributed.
Hello to B&H customers and friends. We are very close to reopening, but still dealing with city permits to do the repairs and upgrades required to open. The office of Councilwoman Rosie Mendez has been helpful.
Just this morning we picked up the permit from the Landmarks Preservation Commission office to allow our plumber to connect the gas. We are waiting for the plumber to return our call. Once the plumber connects the gas we will need to be inspected by ConEd and the DOB. Once they say OK, we can open!
Our customers are like our family. Thank you all for you support over the last month! Watch our Facebook page for the reopening date.
Very bummed our (twitterless) neighbors at #TienGarden are closing after 20 years. Tomorrow is the last day. @evgrieve @LoDownNY #veganloss

Our lease is up, and it's time to move on. It's been a great 10 years. This weekend will be our last, so come on down for a few last rounds.

[T]he cops adopted a tacit all-toke, no-action policy.
“We have zero arrests, and we don’t plan on having any,” one sergeant told a Post reporter.
Advocates praised the cops’ mellow take on toking as the latest sign New York was inching toward decriminalization.
Last month, Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson warned the NYPD in a memo obtained by The Post that his office would no longer prosecute people caught possessing — or even smoking — marijuana in public.
The #SaveNYC Concert will be taking place TONIGHT, Saturday May 2, at Arlene's Grocery. This event's primary mission is to create public awareness of the Small Business Jobs Survival Act. We have Penny Arcade and DeeDee Luxe on board along with Joe Hunt. Ann McDermott will be there to speak about our mission.
