Last Day to Sign up for Local CSA Farm & Artisinal Shares at Cubana Social!

Tue, 14 May 2013 15:13:03 -0400

For its second year the Local Roots CSA will be available at Cubana Social, which means you can pick up your week’s worth of groceries from local farms after drinking a cocktail at the bar. Through their unique CSA model, members can be picky and choose between vegetable, fruit, meat, cheese, egg, milk, bread, coffee, honey, and artisanal shares. Unlike other CSAs the Local Roots CSA has a separate summer, fall, and winter season, allowing their members to commit to a 12 week season as opposed to the traditional 24 weeks. The deadline to sign up for the summer CSA is May 14th and the CSA will take place on Tuesdays from 5 - 8pm starting in June. CSA shares range from $8 to $246.

The link to sign up is: http://localrootsnyc.org/csa/products
The deadline is May 14th.

Record Release Afterparty Tonight w/ DJ Chief Boima!

Fri, 03 May 2013 17:09:21 -0400

Join us for a special late night afterparty beginning at midnight for the record release of Xenia Rubinos “Magic Trix” featuring special guest DJ Chief Boima. Midnight Happy Hour including discounted cocktails, drafts, wine, & snacks.

12am Chief Boima (Dutty Artz) (Afro-house, Global Bass, Kuduro)

Chief Boima has carved a niche for himself with his magnetic, pulsing sets of beats from all over the African Diaspora. Whether he is playing thumping Global Bass, Angola’s world famous Kuduro, Afro-Columbian Champeta, African House or Afrobeat Classics, the tracks are nothing short of a journey. Boima simply calls his music “International Black”, but through the genres, one theme follows- an energetic, feel-it-in-your-bones sound that will keep you on the dance floor all night long.
