Atlantic Antic!

Just thought I'd remind everyone in the Slope that Atlantic Antic is this Sunday (10/5) so start planning your work excuses for Monday now.

Great thanks for the reminder! The bands at Hanks are a must!

Who wants to meet up? Alfy, Carny, you all around?

do you mean 10/5?

this sunday is october 5th!

i loved atlantic antic last year so thanks for the reminder...i had no idea!

I'm in! woo! street fair, booze, bands. sounds like a great time in mexico!

wait. where am I?

glad to have you back hon! call me and I meet ya. I'm bring along some ice cold 'vitamin water' :-'

Brought to you by Forest City Ratner!

street fairs are great , white socks, sausages and 500 cops on overtime.

I want to go! Who wants to meet up!?

Are any good bands playing or is this just cheap socks and big inflatable things for kids to jump on?

Sorry, I meant 10/5...

Lots of bands, lots of great food, lots of walking down the street in front of the cops holding a nice cold Six Point...this is not your grandpa's street fair Hamilton (but you can always stay home if you want)

Atlantic antic is one of the few fairs that rock, seriously, Rock bands playing in front of the bars. Lots of food: bahn mi, pies, ice cream, lots of cheap beer, soul food, pernil and beans/rice, Antiques and stoop sales everywhere. It's awesome! :dj: :alien: :sunny:

the Last Exit is having susquehanna industrial tool & die (aka SIT and DIE) & les sans culottes, plus go go dancers and dj, all performing outside that afternoon.

where is this exactly?

Up and down Atlantic Ave.

Hey Bill, do you know around what time your band will play?

Drinking a beer in front of a cop, sounds like fun, I wish grandpa was still around his dream would have been answered.

the last exit bar is at 136 atlantic ave b/t clinton & henry.

LSC is on at 3:30 and again at 5:00 pm.

And Chip Shop always has a great band and great British ales for what ails ya

OOoh...Do they have Lodon Pride Ale??

The only band I can speak to is the Black Hollies at 2:15. Awesome retro-rock n' roll, made up of 3/4 the late great Rye Coalition.

I know they have it by the bottle...they might have it on tap. They have some great beers. I think they had Green King last year.

this is seriously the best street fair around. my favorite part is the brooklyn industries ultra-cheap sale that they do in front of their store. almost everything is $20 or less-- which is exactly what it's actually worth. though i make the pilgrimage alos for the best falafel you will ever have-- Sahadi's!! the only timethey actually make it into the sandwich for you, i think. YUM-E!

I agree...Atlantic Antic and the 5th Avenue street fair are the best in the Brooklyn. And it looks like it's going to be a splendid early fall day.

Subject: Hi!

Hi everyone! I just discovered this message board and am very excited to meet my neighbors

I'll be heading over to Atlantic Ave with my roomate and some friends on Sunday. yay!

I hate to ask, but is it kid-friendly?

New2hood, it sure is, and you will see tons of kids there. Kids especially like the belly dancing show in front of Key Food. According to Time Out New York Kids it is the thing to do this weekend. Especially if your kid is not a picky eater.

Heres the music schedule

new2hood - look at the schedule for GUMBO - they will have music and events for kids all day.

and the food vendors:

I wish they still had the parade in the morning that was always fun.

where are the black hollies playing ?

Hey, that was fun! other street fairs should be ashamed.

Yeah! Had a falafel pita, some pastellios, pulled pork sandwich, meatball sub (shared it all) and watched les sans culottes at Last exit. $4 beers everywhere. I had a blast!

LSC is an amazing band, I can't believe it. Excellent harmonies and catchy riffs. Bill, when are you playing again??

merci beaucoup!

it's always a fun time at the antic.

we're playing at asbury lanes (in asbury park) on sat. oct. 18th

and at the blender theater on e. 23rd st, manhattan, on monday oct. 20th.
i think there is only a $7 cover for that show and it's a good venue.
