South Slope Events Spotlight: November 7-10
Don’t let this gray and rainy Thursday stop you from kicking off an excellent weekend of hyperlocal fun. Here’s some of the neighborhood events taking place through Sunday:
South’s Smutty Senior Prom
When: Thursday, November 7, 7pm
Where: 629 5th Avenue, between 17th and 18th Street
What: Congratulations to Paul and Dee over at South, who rang in four fabulous years on Fifth Avenue this week. To celebrate, the bar is hosting a senior prom on Thursday night. Look for raffles, prizes, drink specials and punch. Corsages and boutonnieres will be available at the door for $1, and (as one would expect from a senior prom) fancy dress is encouraged, so dig out those old bridesmaid dresses!
How much: Free!
Matilda Jane Trunk Show
When: Friday, November 8, 3pm to 5pm and 6pm to 8pm
Where: A Shoe Grows in Brooklyn, 419 7th Ave at 14th Street
What: Ready to check out some of the newest trends in children’s clothing for the fall and holiday seasons? A Shoe Grows in Brooklyn welcomes Matilda Jane Clothing to the shop on Friday for a special trunk show. In addition to shoe and outfit pairings for little girls, there will be a nice selection of women’s shoes to look at, too. Bonus perk for those of you attending the evening session: wine and cheese will be served.
