Events calendar! Woo!

Sorry, I don’t know if anyone else finds this as exciting as I do, but it’s been something I’ve been meaning to start since rechristening the site as the Odyssey in the first place. It was just a matter of clearing some time, and making it happen.

Do you have an event you would like to list on the Odyssey’s calendar? The best way to make sure your event gets listed here is simply to tell us. Shoot us an e-mail at info@bayridgeodyssey.com, and we’ll make it happen. Be sure to tell us:

  • What and where the event is,
  • What day and time it will be,
  • A description of the event, and
  • If there is an admission price or age restriction.

Include a web site link and/or RSVP information, if applicable.

Even if you don’t tell us about an event, we’ll post a lot of the events we hear about through normal channels. That’s just the way we are.

In addition to the calendar, we’ll also be publishing a nine-day event listing on Wednesdays. Just to drive home all of the cool/arty/sophisticated/loud/debauched events in which you could be taking part in the near future. Everything on the calendar over that nine-day span will go in the listing, just be sure to tell us about it the Tuesday before the event. Continue reading »

After a weekend of celebrating Mexico’s mighty 1862 victory over invading French marines at the Battle of Puebla with stiff margaritas, beefy tacos, and the biggest, most ginormous burrito I have ever seen in my life… I could totally stand to eat an apple or two. Maybe even reacquaint myself with “vegetables.”

So perhaps GrowNYC had me in mind when they decided to follow up Cinco de Mayo with the reopening of the Bay Ridge Greenmarket – back for its fifth season, starting this Saturday, May 12. The market will be open from 8am to 3pm this Saturday and every Saturday until November 17.

A variety of farms will be at the Greenmarket this season: Continue reading »
