I Love You, Let’s Meet

I’m thrilled and honored to read at my friend Gabriel Cohen’s reading series, Sundays at Sunny’s, along with contributers to Up Is Up But So Is Down, a cool-sounding anthology of 80s downtown writing (Mary Gaitskill, Eric Bogosian, Spalding Gray).

Sunny’s is this wonderful bar right on the water in Red Hook, not terribly close to any subway stops (but next to the newish Fairway).

By bus: take the B61 toward Red Hook from Atlantic Ave. & Court St. (or from the A train midtrain exit at Jay Street Borough Hall). Get off near the end of the line at Van Brunt & Beard streets., walk 1 block right and 1/2 block left. Or take the B77 bus down 9th Street from Park Slope (or from the Smith and 9th Street F train stop–exit at the rear of the train and come down the stairs to street level and the corner bus stop.) Take the bus in the direction of Van Brunt Street and Red Hook.

If you’re driving: From Manhattan, take the Brooklyn Bridge and get off at the Court Street exit–then take a left on Cadman Plaza West, which will turn into Court St. Go about a mile, past Atlantic Avenue, and take a right on Sackett Street. Continue straight for five blocks, across the overpass over the Brooklyn Queens Expressway, and take a left on Van Brunt Street. Continue down almost to the end of Van Brunt (you’ll see the waterfront up ahead) and take a right on Reed Street. Go one block and take a right on Conover Street–you’ll see a big sign that says BAR. That’s Sunny’s.
