Tweetup!
4:00pm Saturday 26 June 2010
Oops. This event is in the past. Thanks to those who participated!
Join Leslie Almeida (@NOLA_Eats) and Dan Hubbell (@muffuletta/@hubbell) for an early Saturday evening tweetup—starting at our temporary library and ending up at a neighborhood bar and restaurant! The purpose is twofold: so Dan can meet some tweeps he's never met in person, and so you can get familiar with our struggling little library ... and then go have something to drink.
Meet us between 4pm and 5pm at the temporary branch library, in the carriage house behind the old Algiers Courthouse at 225 Morgan Street (see map below) in Algiers Point. It's less than a block from the west bank Canal Street Ferry landing—so, eastbankers, you can walk or bike here. Bring your New Orleans Public Library card and help by checking out a book, a DVD, whatever. (The library closes at 5pm, so don't wait till the last minute.)
Weather permitting, we can walk over to see the "real" Hubbell Library at 725 Pelican Avenue, which is closed for repairs. We hope you'll love this historic Carnegie building (New Orleans' oldest public library!) and get ticked off like us that the city hasn't begun repairs. >:(
Anyway, then let's walk over to the Dry Dock Cafe, 133 Delaronde Street, for some refreshments. It's a nice little bar and restaurant just a couple hundred feet from the ferry landing.
We hope you'll join us!
Oh yeah, food!
Dry Dock has a really good menu, so some of us will probably grab a table or two and have dinner. Please consider joining us for that, too!
