We’re happy to report the return of one of Brooklyn’s hottest spots, The Springs, which is located in the Greenpoint section of the popular borough. This is the spot soak up the sun, chill, and sip on delicious frozen cocktails. The Springs not only has an outdoor space but an expansive bar and lounge. On the night of our visit, we enjoyed the newly renovated patio. This area was inspired by retro vibes of Palm Springs circa the 1950s with lounge style seating and rainbow-colored decor. Although inspiration comes from the west coast, the vibes of The Springs remains true to Brooklyn and its edginess.
Beetlejuice, one of Tim Burton’s most iconic movies is now a Broadway musical! The cult classic film starring Michael Keaton, Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, and Winona Ryder, also spawned a cartoon series as well as several video games. The otherworldly antics of Betelgeuse the demon are treasured by many who grew up in the ’80s and ’90s. From his trademark striped suit to his grotesque sense of humor the mischievous spirit is a recognizable figure evoking fond memories of our youth. The musical feeds on that nostalgia, whilst delivering a re-imagined tale of death and the loneliness of grief. In contrast to the somber subject matter, this musical is a hilarious farce full of slapstick comedy, offbeat jokes, f-bombs, and witty one-liners.
