my gf will be attending the governers ball next weekend and she offered to bring me back some beer. any suggestions for where i should tell her to go?
in Astoria Queens: Astoria Bier & Cheese (either Broadway or Ditmars location) in Brooklyn: Eagle Provisions Bier Kraft Breukelen Bier Merchants Whole Foods
Not only is the part of town important, I believe what to get is as or more important than where. Also important is whether she will have a car or will use public transportation.
