They obviously moved the event indoors to the warehouse. It was still a very cool space. The event was very organized and ran very well. I was there to see RuPaul DJ and it was an extravaganza of a time. All-gender bathrooms ran smoothly and the lines weren't long. Staff were really nice during check in. Not sure if it was the space or the event itself and very well it could possibly be both, but all I felt was love here. And it's exactly what I needed. Can't wait ton try the food next time!

People I could never get to step a toe in a museum now beg me to come with them to see some trendy exhibit they heard about. Marketing has improved immensely. They've expanded their reach beyond geeks and schoolchildren to a wide variety of people, and that's good. It keeps the museum alive. It's just no longer one of my favorite places personally. What I miss the most are the old First Saturdays that no one knew about. I'd look forward to them all month like a child looks forward to Christmas. It felt like Brooklyn's best kept secret. Now you have to preregister to get sardined. I'm not much of a noisy crowd person, so I end up leaving early the rare occasion I attempt to go. I do enjoy the salsa parties. Those are fun. Staff can be rude as all else. I've never personally had an issue, but I've seen some uncalled for behavior towards other patrons, especially if they give touristy vibes. The littlest thing can set someone off. It's completely uncalled for.

I love the color it adds to the city. I love the smile it puts on my face. I like the happy feeling I get inside when I see it. I also like the legal authorization of the activity. For many years it was an offense to express yourself and your artistic talent in this manner. I'm glad Little Italy has embraced this organization and the art they promote. Please Visit Little Italy and keep your eyes open for the murals. They are here, there, and everywhere! I'm posting photos I've taken in the past couple years. I hope you enjoy. I can't wait to return!

Before today, my review would've likely been glowing. The artwork in that's been associated with…read morethem in NYC is almost always spectacular and a welcome addition to the city-scape. Unfortunately I found out recently that they're actually quite shady and manipulative. They don't actually create or curate the art in Little Italy - they pretend to support it, plaster it on their social media, and try to profit from it. At the expense of the actual artists that create the art they're showcasing. They've gotten into legal action with artists over marketing rights for the art that they claim to "support", but essentially want to mooch off of and shake down for $$$. A lot of the gorgeous art, such as the Audrey Hepburn picture on Mulberry St, are examples that they claim to be big endorsers of - but have actually fought the artists over, to win sole rights to commercializing posters etc. They've tried to destroy murals & privately commissioned public art without consent or notification to the artists themselves. Again, mostly for the chance to bring in new art and profit from online sales of merchandise / picture rights. And they're more than happy to block/ban/remove you from any of their social media if you even think of leaving a vaguely negative comment (even a politely-worded one). A word to the wise: good, wholesome, community-minded organizations NEVER block or throttle people into silence because they might disagree with them. And they NEVER treat artists like they're disposable sources of income. This organization does not represent Little Italy in the slightest. Be very, very careful if you're ever asked to work with them. Better yet, stay clear of them altogether.

I had a tequila gimlet and it was so tasty. The perfect amount of sweet, tart and tequila kick. I actually came here before maybe once or twice and hadn't been for a while. Then I gotta invited to this spot for the date from hell lol. The man showed up super late and had the audacity to have an attitude with me for being upset. Trust I never saw that man again, paid for all of my own drinks, even though I had been invited out and he downed his drink so fast so he could 'leave me first' that it was thee most pathetic and immature sorry sight I ever did see, from a grown man. The bartenders were so kind about it and even said waiting 45 minutes for anyone was a no-no and that his behavior was unacceptable! I agree. I'd definitely go back in the future.

The statue is simply fabulous. And well worth the trip out. Brooklyn-based sculptor Dave Cortes was approached by Marvel to make the statue in honor of Captain America's 75th anniversary in 2016. For such a heavy object, it's been around quite a bit: San Diego Comic-Con, then to various locations in Brooklyn, like Barclays Center and Prospect Park. Cortes did a phenomenal job!

I've avoided using the public computers because, well... let's just say the ambiance isn't ideal--between loud coughing fits and the occasional old man fully snoring, it's not exactly the vibe for focused work. There's a children's section immediately to the right of the entrance with tables, a rug, and a few computers for the little ones. It's thoughtfully set up, but again--space is the issue. Everything feels tight and crowded, which is surprising (and honestly disappointing) given how large and family-heavy the Park Slope neighborhood is. It works in a pinch, but it's not the kind of library you linger in for long.
