One of our former writers, Marie Carter, has recently published a novel, The Trapeze Diaries, with much fanfare. She’ll be reading from her book at two events, the invitations for which follow:
1) Reading @ McNally Jackson September 30
Please join us to celebrate new titles from Hanging Loose Press. Enjoy the acerbic wit of Tony Towle (WINTER JOURNEY), the energetic hiphop poetry of Michael Cirelli (LOBSTER WITH OL’ DIRTY BASTARD) and the lyrical prose of Marie Carter (THE TRAPEZE DIARIES).
Reading at McNally Jackson Bookstore, 52 Prince Street between Lafayette and Mulberry, NYC, 7 PM, Tuesday September 30. www.mcnallyjackson.com.
2) Reading at Sunny’s in Red Hook, November 2nd
Will be reading at Sunny’s in Red Hook on Sunday November 2nd near the new Ikea and Fairway (yes, you can buy Swedish furniture AND go to a reading all at once!).
I hear they do an awesome cheap brunch at Sunny’s and it’s by the water so a nice Sunday afternoon outing.
Sunny’s
253 Conover Street
Brooklyn, NY 11231
Sunday November 2nd, 3 PM
Directions at www.sunnysredhook.com. (Water taxis throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn will take you to IKEA).

Trader Joe’s to open doors September 26

The Brooklyn Paper has reported that the long-awaited Trader Joe’s on the corner of Atlantic and Court will open its doors on Friday, September 26. Great news for all of us foodies who live in the ‘hood. I can’t wait to get my hands on the wide assortment of fresh produce, bulk grains and general healthy goodness they offer. But it’s not necessarily as positive a development for many merchants who have been our trusted suppliers over the years. Certainly, Pacific Green and Key Foods will both feel some pain as Trader Joe’s intercepts customers that once relied on those two outposts. I think it’s no coincidence that Key Foods recently stepped it up a notch with an elaborate flower and plant stand, though not sure if this will compensate for the gap in product. I predict people will look back on this as perhaps, the single most transformative thing to happen during the neighborhood’s ascent. It’s true, a good supermarket can move mountains.
