The Dorothy Parker Society is having its annual New York City holiday party, and for the first time ever, we are holding it in Brooklyn! So for all Brooklyn residents, you have no reason to skip this one. This Thursday, Dec. 4, 7-11 p.m., join us at the Galapagos Art Space, 16 Main Street in DUMBO, with Michael Arenella and his 11-piece Dreamland Orchestra for a festive evening of music and dancing. Come out in Twenties attire too, if you can manage it.
Tickets are $12 each; cash bar. This is the orchestra that performed on Governors Island last summer; they are the best Roaring Twenties orchestra in the city. In addition, Friday is the 75th anniversary of Repeal, when Prohibition ended, so this is an extra reason to make it to the party.
Note: This is the new location of Galapagos, no longer located in Williamsburg.
