BRITISH INVASION ON WARREN

These cute girls came down from the UWS and waited in line for four hours to meet him. (They said he was sweet.) I must have just missed him by a minute because as I left to walk down Church because I heard screams coming from behind me.

PAINT WHILE DRINKING AT MALIBU FARM
I don’t usually run this sort of thing since it’s more for advertising, but this seemed kind of unique (well, we do have The Muse right in the neighborhood, but this sounds almost like real art classes): Malibu Farm on Pier 17 and a group called Private Picassos are hosting a series of adult ‘paint and sip’ classes from 6:30 to 7:30 on a few Wednesdays this spring. The cost is $60 and includes one drink and all art supplies. See the descriptions here.
