Time flies fast, and suddenly the Great Brooklyn DailyKos Meetup is right around the corner - Monday, to be precise! And the long-range forecast is: warm conversation, with a strong chance of mojitos (and great food, too!).
Yes, Brooklyn: the coolest place on the planet, if the T-shirts European teenagers are wearing this summer are any guide. And our gathering spot is one of the coolest places in Brooklyn: Bogota! Not the city, the Latin Bistro and Mojito Bar. I can attest personally that the food (mostly Colombian) is fabulous, the drinks are delicious and perfect for the weather, the atmosphere is relaxed and fun, the prices are reasonable, and the owners are extremely congenial, both personally and politically. In fact, you may have noticed a mention of them previously here at Daily Kos: these guys. So we have cause to celebrate and congratulate them, too.
Here are the details:
Date: Monday, August 15
Time: 6:30 pm - ?
Place: Bogota Latin Bistro and Mojito Bar
141 5th Avenue, Brooklyn
(718) 230-3805
Bogota is wheelchair accessible.
Transportation: Don't worry if you live in some lesser place - another borough, out of the city, or even another state. Bogota is conveniently located near most major public transportation lines:
D, N, or R to Union St Station, walk 1 block east to 5th Ave and three blocks north;
B or Q to 7th Ave Station, walk 3 blocks west on Sterling Place to 5th Ave and one block south;
2 or 3 to Bergen St Station, walk one block west on Bergen and five short blocks south on 5th Ave., or to Grand Army Plaza Station, walk three long blocks west on St. John's Pl (this is farther than Bergen St).
LIRR to Atlantic Terminal, walk two blocks SE on Flatbush Avenue and 5 blocks south on 5th Ave, or transfer for any of the above subway connections.
Just one more thing: I need to know how many of you are attending, so please, please, please! respond to the poll below. It's a very easy one ;^). Even if you voted in the poll in the first diary, vote in this one, too. If for some reason you can't vote in the poll, but you want to come, email me at sidnora at gee mail dot com.
See you Monday!!!
