Straight outta Brooklyn, The Antlers make some anthemic indie rock. Joining them are Uninhabitable Mansions who make music you can and most likely will end up dancing to. Opener Sharon Van Etten is a headliner in her own right who makes beautiful folk music with just her and her guitar generally overpowering audiences in attendance. Where to go afterwards? Go straight to the bar, and that bar would be 151, where happy hour is 7 days a week from 6pm till 10pm and includes 2 for 1 drinks. For those that don’t want a liquid dinner first, check Social for comfort food including the Mac and Cheese (Macaroni covered in Three Cheese Truffled Mornay Sauce and topped w/Seasoned Bread Crumbs). For a late night eat, a favorite spot of mine is Bereket for falafels and to watch drunks succeed at spilling their food all over themselves and failing at picking up chicks. Not for the faint of heart!
