Josh gives details on last Wednesday’s Adult Novelty Spelling Bee at Freddy’s: "There were three rounds all won by three different people and there
were 23 people in the first round which was a monster turnout … I got to shower the winner with the cash … Thank
goodness Heather was there to help me pronounce some words such as
"leptocercal" … the crowd gets ugly when things are mispronounced." If you missed it, don’t despair, because it’s happening again March 30 at 8 pm.

Jose says he made it to the opening of Beast this past weekend: "The place is decked out fancy, with gargoyles, dragons and lions–oh my–scattered about as decorations. The space is big, with a back dining room and an open kitchen. The bar, however, is tiny: less than a foot deep. This means you have to spread out your book, food, paper, whatever. Not good."

Apparently the service left a bit to be desired ("First night jitters, I was told. Things would be ironed out") but the beer was free and the food was cheap (nothing over $13). "I got a lot of promises, too. Brunch. A bunch of beer on tap. Sidewalk cafe. Concerts. A liquor license by Thursday … It’s the wait-and-see game. I’m going back this weekend to see the progress."

Beast | 638 Bergen St. at Vanderbilt Ave.; 718-399-6855.
