Northeast

I stopped by recently for a brat and a beer at the New Bohemia Wurst & Bier Haus, 233 E. Hennepin. It's a popular place, with more than 30 different local, regional, and foreign beers on draft and another nearly 50 different beers in bottles and cans.

I love stories that place emphasis on heritage. Folk tales, mythology, old family stories, and anything that contributes to the long yarns connected to someone’s history; especially if there are visuals to go along with that. And if those visuals are sparkly, extremely detailed and thought-provoking, then all the better.

Pangea World Theater and Teatro Del Pueblo’s cerebral and eloquent depiction of Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca’s life and work should have you running and barreling through the winter sludge to get to the doors of the Ritz Theater. Lorca in a Green Dress, written by Nilo Cruz and directed by Alberto Justiniano, is a beautiful homage to the Spanish poet and playwright.

I get invited to events occasionally, and while I pride myself on being a house hermit I try to get out every now and then to catch something new. This time I will be attending another press preview on the 18th of April at the recently opened Public Functionary for their very first exhibition.
