The Day: #WhiskeyFriday and Go Red for Heart Health

Good morning, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.

Mother Nature is bringing another storm to the nabe this weekend. Today will be sunny and temperatures around 33 degrees, but expect temperatures to fall into the low 20s and flurries the rest of the weekend, according to the National Weather Service. It’ll be a perfect weekend to cozy up on the couch to watch the Winter Olympics – or head out to a bar in the nabe to catch the Opening Ceremony. What’s your favorite event of the winter games? Tell us below.

• Police are asking for your help in identifying a woman who showed up at the Brooklyn Hospital Center on Feb. 4 around 1 p.m. She’s described as a 5-foot-4-inch woman and weighs around 90 pounds. She’s thought to be between 80 and 90 years old, and she gave her name as Giselle Sajous. She couldn’t provide any other information. Hospital staff have not been able to find any of her friends or family members, so if you have any information, call (800) 577-8477.
• It’s #WhiskeyFriday tonight at Mo’s in Fort Greene. It’s the first one of the new year, and the premise is simple: A bunch of people who like whiskey get together to have fun and drink whiskey. It’s hosted by Cultivated Wit, a group of comedians who combine their love of humor with their love of technology to make “fun” for their clients. They’ll gather from 6 to 9:30 p.m. in the back of Mo’s cash only bar at 80 Lafayette Avenue to drink whiskey and share some laughs.
• It’s a week until Valentine’s Day, but the Brooklyn Hospital Center is celebrating matters of the heart today with its “Go Red Day.” All day long, hospital staff and visitors will wear red to raise awareness for heart disease, which kills almost 1,100 women each day – more than all forms of cancer combined. There are plenty of free activities at the center and its satellites all day long to help the community be more informed about healthy living choices.
