January 4th – Minneapple 2013!
I am midway through a meandering return from the annual pilgrimage to Minneapolis (beautifully inspiring once again), so apologies for the delay – but as per usual we will be kicking off the New Year with a first Friday Happy Hour and a glorious return to the Gallery Bar at Le Poisson Rouge (158 Bleecker Street near the West 4th street station) this Friday January 4th from 7 to 10!
We’ll have tater tots, happy hour prices til 9, and all your favorite midwesterners in this big, beautiful, snowy (at least for the moment) city of lights.
Can’t wait to see you all there!
Hot Dish Bake-Off TONIGHT!
Details Below – Â competition will be fierce and delicious!
SEE YOU THERE!
Hot Bird Hot Dish Competition – Minneapple December 7th!
Beautiful Minnesotans – I can’t tell you how heartbroken I was to cancel the November Happy Hour due to bad weather – it felt very un-Minnesotan to say the least.
However – luckily the seasons keep turning and we are one week away from our December Happy Hour! You may remember that this time way back in 2010 we had a wildly successful Hot Dish competition and we’d like to do a second take!
Some of the competition from the last round!
Specifically, for a chance to win 2 “I {MN} NY” t-shirts, some beers, and any other secret surprises we can come up with, bring your most delicious Midwestern Casserole Concoctions to Hot Bird (546 Clinton Ave, Brooklyn) by 7:30 next Friday December 7th. The winning dish will be decided by voting attendees and we will all be wonderfully stuffed full of traditional Minnesotan fare while we drink the evening away. Please RSVP to the facebook invite here, post on the wall, or send me a message if you intend to compete!
We can’t wait to see all of your rosy cheeks!
Minneapple cancelled
Don’t go to LPR tonight, they have no power!
Friday’s Happy Hour
I hope you all have weathered the hurricane with midwestern reserve and lots of alcohol. The Happy Hour scheduled for Friday is contingent on having subway access to the West Village and LPR having power back – I’ll keep folks posted as I have more information, or feel free to shoot me a text at 612-269-5721 if you have any questions or suggestions!
SpooOOOoooky Minneapple!
Hey There Minnesotan Ex-Pats!
We’ve got our next wonderful Happy Hour planned for November 2nd in the Gallery Bar (at Le Poisson Rouge) from 7-10pm with delicious cheap beers until 9 (and Tater Tots all evening long)!
Since this is the first Friday after Halloween, we’ll be having a costume competition with categories including “most genuinely scary”, “most Minnesotan”, and “overall favorite” (with free BEER as prizes!) and since we end relatively early in the evening you’ll have the rest of the evening to party like a possessed freaking maniac in Manhattan! (be forewarned, Paul Bunyan costumes may be mistaken for regular Brooklyn hipsters – Babe the Blue Ox costumes do not run this risk).
Let us know if you have any questions – and I can’t wait to see all your beautiful blood-splattered faces there!
Now That’s a Campaign Pledge!
