The 92YTribeca is a cool new space in Tribeca with a screening room, a main stage, an art gallery, a cafe, a lounge. It is located at 200 Hudson Street at Canal and Hudson. It’s pretty easy for Brooklynites to get to so they’d love to see a lot of us there. And the programming should be of interest to many OTBKB readers. They also have classes in: cartooning, creative Hebrew, From Trash to Treasure: a recycled crafts sampler

These two events at the new 92YTribeca caught my eye. I particularly like the idea of the screening of Bill Forsyth’s 1983 film, Local Hero, with a tasting of scotch (I love scotch!).
