Life Cafe 983 – Art Closing

Bennett Lafond is a visual artist working primarily in oils and watercolour.  Born in Seattle, WA, and recently graduated from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver, BC, he now works and  lives in Bushwick, Bk.

Through his paintings Bennett explores the nature of light and time. His light series aims to evoke the macroscopic through the beautiful and unassuming minutia that surround us in our everyday life. He finds himself fascinated with the light that finds its way through such a grand cosmic expanse to become something almost unnoticeable infiltrating our domestic space.

BROOKLYN EGG CREAMS

$3

made with

Eli Miller, “The Seltzer Man’s” homemade seltzer, Brooklyn’s oldest seltzer maker
It’s seltzer with absolutely no salt, no sediment, no lint, as Mr. Eli Miller likes to say.

The charcoal and sand-filtered city water has 80 pounds of carbonic pressure, which provides far more fizzle than the store-bought varieties.

We dispense the seltzer at your table from 60 year old, hand-blown bottles from Czechoslovakia with pewter heads.

They’re going fast! Come and git yours.

A NEW DRAFT BEER
Brewmaster’s Reserve: Brooklyn Detonation Ale
ABV 9.2%

Meet Brooklyn Brewery’s hoppier side, BLASTS!’s big brother, Brooklyn Detonation Ale. It’s a copper-colored pale ale with British malt character. American hop ebullience, Brooklyn attitude and disturbing drinkability. British caramel malts lend richness and depth, while a blend of American hops give the beer a minerally backbone and explosive aromatics (with a special guest appearance by the hop East Kent Golding as “The English Aristocrat”).
Brooklyn Detonation Ale is mighty tasty. It probably even gives you fresher breath and whiter teeth, but we can’t prove that part. Nor can we support the claim that it concentrates the mind on life’s better aspects. However, we can guarantee that it’s terrific with pork tacos, Thai seasonings, burgers and sharp cheese. So have yourself some Brooklyn Detonation Ale — after all, isn’t it about time you blew up?
late nite happy hour 10-midnight everyday

all day everyday! Whad up?!!!
