From Chelsea to the Summit: A Big Weekend, and a Bigger Fall Ahead

A week after the Emmys, "The Immigrant City" got a second curtain call, and the Beer Hall got a view from 1,000 feet up. Here's the weekend, and here's everything on deck.

Saturday, October 17: Chelsea Film Festival

The Chelsea Film Festival screened "From Times Square to the World: The Immigrant City" as part of its Made in NY program at Regal Battery Park, followed by a panel discussion with Anthony and Paul Ramirez and fellow Made in NY filmmakers. Thank you to NYC Tourism + Conventions for bringing us along, and to the festival for giving stories about this city a stage in it.

Sunday, October 18: 5 Years, 5 Boroughs at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt

SUMMIT One Vanderbilt celebrated its fifth anniversary with one business representing each borough, and The Bronx Beer Hall represented ours. We sampled and sold our Bronx Little Italy Italian Pilsner a thousand feet above Midtown, with Beer Hall stickers and coasters and From The Bronx "Did You Know" postcards for anyone who wanted a little Bronx history with their view.

The Beer Hall bar, 1,000 feet up, with the Empire State Building for a backdrop.
