Show time: 9:30 PM
Venue: The Studio at Webster Hall
Food: Momofuku
Drink: The Village Pourhouse
Miscellaneous: Sundaes and Cones

Walter Schreifels is known to many for the influential bands he’s been in, including Gorilla Biscuits, Quicksand, and Rival Schools, but this week marks the release of his first solo album. Titled An Open Letter To The Scene, the album falls into more melodic, indie rock territory than his previous work. You can catch Walter’s album release show on Wednesday May 5th at the studio in Webster Hall. If you like ramen noodles and pork, then Momofuku is your spot for food. The Berkshire pork is the best I’ve had and it’s the only place I’ll eat pork period, which should tell you just how good Momofuku really is! The Village Pourhouse may look like a neighborhood bar to watch sports but actually has three more rooms, where you can order food or find a quiet place to smooch! For dessert a little left of the dial, Sundaes and Cones offers eclectic flavors like wasabi and corn and many more flavors that are familiar.
