The love child of an art gallery and a bar.

As Frank Bruni said, "With notable exceptions like long-distance running, any-distance driving and matters of personal hygiene involving sharp blades, most activities go down easier and happier with a drink in hand."

Whenever the ARC Gallery has a fundraiser or exhibition opening, I usually get to play hostess and bartend. Red and white wine. It’s the usual fare.

But now here’s your chance to drink to your art on the LES anytime. With the Four Loko ban and Asian Pub closing down, I think it's time we fight Prohibition in every possible way.

Culturefix - 9 Clinton Street

"Culturefix is a bar, gallery and event space. Offering workshops, gallery openings, parlor games and live performances, Culturefix invites lovers of the arts, food, drink and design to merge."

 Panda - 139 Chrystie Street

"It's like your best friend's living room with a bit of serendipity thrown in..."
Panda is a European-style cafe/bar with organic coffee, teas and free Wifi by day, Happy Hour by night.

Anyone fancy a gallery crawl this weekend?
