Bar Food Blowout
If you missed the first one, here’s your chance to get in on the action at the Bar Food Blowout. Chef Talde teams up with his buddy (anyone making pies like Justin is our buddy too!) to bring you a bar food menu including Pork Sausage Sliders, “Mozzarella Stix” and Molten Mushroom Fondue Log on top of Speedy Romeo Celery Giardiniera. Are you drooling yet? Good. Wash this down with a “Slippery Slope” beer-and-shot combo of Brooklyn Brewery beer and Powers Whiskey. An evening this good must be accompanied by music, so jam to tunes by DJ Sinkane.

Split Screen
This week, BAMcinématek helps you get your Scorsese fix by pairing six of his films with the classics made by one of his greatest inspirations at Under the Influence: Scorsese/ Walsh. Actors from Humphrey Bogart to James Cagney shined in films by Raoul Walsh and Scorsese made it no secret that Walsh’s style and portrayal of seedy characters in seedier situations inspired similar moments in his work. Watch the work of these two legends back to back.

Time: 7:30pm
Cost: $11-15
