Local restaurants, including Australian eatery Tuck Shop, will be on hand for St. Marks Place Block Party this weekend. Get ready for the meat pie eating contest.
From NYT:
At the St. Marks Place block party, July 31 from 2 to 6 p.m. on St. Marks Place between First Avenue and Avenue A, there will be food and beverages for sale, music and, at 5:30 p.m., a meat-pie-eating contest sponsored by the Tuck Shop, an Australian cafe at 115 St. Marks Place. Proceeds from the party benefit George Jackson Academy, a boys’ school on the block. Food from East Village restaurants will be sold at another block party July 31 on East Ninth Street between Avenues B and C from noon to 5 p.m. The proceeds benefit the 9BC Tompkins Square block association.
Meant to be a cool 80 degrees on Saturday.
Come on out, Neighborhood!
