Stop Working! A Midweek Booze & Food Fest Reminder

Grid View

For those of you chomping at the bit to fess away the midweek work doldrums, fret not. The Brooklyn Brewery Mash is raging on this evening with a free beer school (and St. James Cheese Co. pairing) at Avenue Pub at 7 p.m. and stand up comedy($10) at Howlin Wolf at 9 p.m.

Tomorrow evening, The Mash will bring the brews— Brooklyn Lager & Summer Ale to be exact— to the The Vendy Awards as the street food event descends upon the French Market from 7 to 10:30 p.m. Known as the Oscars of street food, The Vendy Awards pits local trucks/sidewalk vendors against each other for the title of the Best Street Food in New Orleans. This year's finalists are: Crepes a la Carte, Empanada Intifada, Food Drunk, Foodie Call, Frencheeze, Imperial Woodpecker Sno-balls, La Cocinita, Miss Linda Green (The Ya-K-Mein Lady), and The Nola Truck.

As Todd A. Price notes, there are $6 tickets available, which include one drink but no food (ie. pay as you go). Other tickets range from $24–$36 with samples from all vendors, the right to vote for the People's Choice award and drinks. Get tickets online here.
