New Third Tuesday Venue for Brownstone Poets

Hello Poets and Friends, 

Thanks to Bernard and Diane Block, the Brownstone Poets Reading Series has a new 3rd Tuesday venue, starting July 17 in Park Slope with featured poets,  Susan Kolodny and Puma Perl.
This lovely venue is Cafe Dada, a French-Hungarian restaurant where the old Ozzie’s used to be. Murat Ozcan of Cafe Couleur adds old world charm to Park Slope.  The cafe combines old and new furnishings, making one feel right at home.  This is certainly a place for those in the arts.  Chef and Manager Carl Alioto provides an exquisite menu of delectable food. I know that the chocolate almond pastry and the quiche are delectable.  There’s a wine bar and the coffee is excellent.
* Unfortunately, due to increased costs in running my reading series (producing the anthologies, Internet usage, flyers, bio sheets, etc.), the suggested donation will be $4 starting July 17.
