Pop Goes The Warehouse!: Dust off your Wings

Dust off your Wings

Way back on the 4th… just last Friday actually, we talked about how complex ’simple’ can be. As with the Slow Food Spring Supper (which we had the pleasure of being involved with over the weekend), a one-day event is filled with details, details, and more details.

And that’s basically why it took so long to get to this, the next post on this blog.

If you’re looking forward to ILoveLocalHFX's OPEN CITY stay tuned on twitter to see all that’s happening on May 12&13 by following #OpenCity, or #SideDoorTakeout, or us at #PopGoesTheWarehouse. You can also access all the info by going to http://www.ilovelocalhfx.ca

KEEP IN MIND: Many, if not all, the other restaurant-members will be doing a ‘side door takeout’ from their physical space, whereas The Brooklyn Warehouse is doing a POP-UP at a different location altogether. So, if you show up at Windsor & Almon on Saturday, you won’t find a pop-up there.

Where will the Pop-Up… pop up? Patience, patience. The countdown continues, and we’ll let you know on Friday! However, and this is exciting too! Tomorrow, we roll out the Pop-Up Menu. It will be posted right here. Then you’ll know why your Open City Weekend should start somewhere in the North End of Halifax!

Dust off those Wings, power up that Green Glowing Ring, or Iron your Cape (we’re such nerds), and prepare to fly into Your Open City this weekend!

I'm moving to Calgary and leaving Halifax on Saturday morning. I hope your pop-up is open early enough for us to drop by! :-)

What’s Up with the Pop Up?

A Pop-Up is simply one business popping up somewhere other than where you expect them. Like a clothing store taking over a coffee shop or a farmer setting up a vegetable stand in front of a restaurant they supply. It can be inside another business or some other venue or in someone’s backyard. In our case, our cooking staff is going to show up at another eating establishment and take over their kitchen for the day.

Why We're Doing This?

Reason #1:

As a member of the ILoveLocalHFX community, The Brooklyn Warehouse is participating in 'Open City’ in our very own Way!

We have a great city, but how often do we really explore it? We want you to get out of your comfort zone, try something new and learn more about this great city, its neighborhoods, and its local businesses & then we want you to share what you find. Tweet it, post it to facebook, tell your friends and family who are living elsewhere to come visit us.

As an added incentive, you can to pick up an Open City Passport at various locations during the weekend – use it to track your progress, to keep notes and for chances to win prizes from some of your favorite I Love Local businesses.

Pop-In to Brooklyn’s Pop-Up, and become a Local Ambassador!

Reason #2:

The owners of the venue where our pop-up will manifest itself wisely consider that their participation somehow benefits a local organization that is congruent to what we’re doing with their space; in this case... food!

We agree! A portion of the proceeds from the Pop-Up will therefore be donated to Slow Food Nova Scotia & Feed Nova Scotia. So join us on May 12th and help us support both of these important food organizations.

Reason #3:

We just want to do something cool with food in a very cool place in our neighborhood; something with street cred in a venerable place with lots of character; its about sharing community and highlighting ‘Place.'
