Kidlit Drink Night: March Edition

February 23, 2010 by Betsy Bird   4 comments

Children, children.  What we need here is a good old-fashioned Kidlit Drink Night. The nights are cold, the children’s books excellent (what we’ve seen so far, anyway) and the time is ripe for yet another. With my co-host/partner in crime Cheryl Klein we have determined just the perfect time and place. In effect:

When: March 9th, starting at 6:30 p.m.
Where: O’Flaherty’s, 334 West 46th St. On Restaurant Row, Between 8th & 9th Aves.
Who: Anyone with an interest in children’s literature. Come on down. We’ll talk shop. Drink good ales. Have a gay old time ala The Flintstones.
