The good folks from The Manchester Pub (Lawrence & Hudson) are offering us discounted tickets to Saturday's Home On The Grange festival in Long Island City at the Brooklyn Grange (urban rooftop farm). This was supposed to happen last week during Craft Beer Week, but it was postponed to Saturday, October 1 from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The even is a celebration of local, sustainable foods and craft beer. Tickets are $89 per person, but Rendezfoodies are eligible for discounted $65 tickets! Tickets can be purchased through Brown Paper Tickets and use the code 'WhyLeaveAstoria' to get the discounted price of $65 per ticket.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit City Growers, the educational arm of the Brooklyn Grange that coordinates and facilitates farmer training, educational workshops and school and camp visits to the Brooklyn Grange.
