#FingersFollows: Today’s Recommendation – @MoesBrooklyn – #FF

Fort Greene’s quintessential neighborhood bar.

Do I really need to explain this one to you?

My love for the greatest bar in Brooklyn—and the world, for that matter—is well-documented. Many of you know that this was the first place I found comfort, love and acceptance after I moved to the borough. Hell, many of you are part of the Brooklyn family that calls Moe’s Bar and Lounge “home.”

From my Yelp review of Moe’s, written almost a year after I moved to the neighborhood:

Before I even moved to BKNY, one of my good friends invited me to drinks at Moe’s. I so fell in love with the staff, the atmosphere, the drinks, that when I finally moved into the nabe, Moe’s became my watering hole of choice.

A year later, I’m a familiar face. I know all the ‘tenders and they all know me. They know my signature drinks, which is cool. And even when the place is crowded, the staff is still professional and very much on-point.

Gotta go for the Happy Hour, where it’s 2-4-1 drafts … and $1 off everything else. The music is always good, always eclectic. And the screen in the back plays everything from Hollywood blockbusters to little-known foreign films.

Finally, this is a GREAT place to meet people. Most people are intelligent, creative, fairly attractive, and cool. I met most of my BK buddies in this joint, and even left with a few ladies. ;)

Moe’s is the lick. If you’re in the nabe, it is a must you hit it up.

Event: Never Give Up, Never Surrender at Moe’s Brooklyn (Feb. 26)

Moe's Brooklyn

You know what I’m asked the most these days?

How are you doing? Nope.

How’s ya mama doing? Nuh-uhn.

How’s your novel coming along? ¡No way, José!

The most common question I get these days is, “Is Moe’s really closing?” Well, I now have your fucking answer, people, and it’s “NO.”

Moe’s Bar & Lounge, located in the heart of Brooklyn’s Fort Greene neighborhood, is staying open for at least two more months. So, naturally, they’re throwing a big ol’ bash to celebrate.

The party’s Saturday, February 26, and kicks off at 8pm with a screening of NYC 77: The Coolest Year In Hell. (If you didn’t already know, we watch films at Moe’s, motherfuckers!) Then at 10pm, DJ Cool Hands Luke hops on the 1s &2s to spin the usual hype mix of hip-hop, soul, and funk.

The Week in Cool 11-9-08

socialexperimentAutumn is such a wonderful time of year! The falling temperatures, the leaves changing color, the shift from summer to winter clothes. I can finally order hot cocoa and not be looked at like a frickin’ lunatic. I’m lovin’ it, like a cheesy McDonald’s ad campaign.

November has particularly gotten off to a good start. I’ve been working on new projects, got some things in the pipeline, and I’m finally gaining some semblance of stability. The past week has been an historic one, as you all should know. So for me, it’s been gratifying on both a large and small scale. Here’s what went down and what was cool this past week:

Team Liquor: Moe’s Brooklyn

img_1060May as well post my Yelp blurb about Moe’s here.

For those who don’t know, Moe’s is my favorite bar in BK. Awesome staff, great prices, cool clientele. Gotta thank Sheila G for putting me on. And yes, to my friends who receive those mid-day drunken texts … and sometimes those late night drunken texts … nine times out of ten, I’m sending them from Moe’s.
