A couple of days after Mother Nature blessed us with 4.5 inches of rain, we're FINALLY (we hope) starting to get some signs of actual Spring weather! And with the forecasts calling for sunshine and temps hovering around the 70 degree mark all weekend, it's shaping up to be a great
CINCO de MAYO WEEKEND.
Speaking of which, with
CINCO de MAYO falling on a Monday this year, we're choosing to celebrate with specials and events all weekend long. Here's a sample of what we have on tap this weekend:
TONIGHT: The
NY Rangers, fresh off of their Game 7 win over
Philadelphia, immediately turn around and head to
Pittsburgh for the start of Round 2 vs
Sid the Kid and the
Penguins. (7pm w/audio).
The
Brooklyn Nets try to stave off elimination at home vs the
Toronto Raptors (7pm).
SATURDAY: It's the first Saturday in May, which means one thing:
The Kentucky Derby. We'll air all the pomp and circumstance of the big race, starting at 4:30pm. Race kicks off at around 6:15pm. During that time, we will also host a promo event sponsored by
Dos Equis and the lovely
Dos Equis Girls (5pm)!
The Canadiens face off vs
Boston in Game 2 of their epic series (12:30pm) and
Los Angeles face off vs
Anaheim later that night in 2nd round NHL playoff action. The NBA is also hosting THREE Game 7's, which should make for some nail-biting moments!
SUNDAY: Celebrating
"Cinco de Mayo" continues with live music (
Kings County Ramblers), and our great
"Mexican Madness Menu"! Then catch the
Rangers vs
Pens, Game 2 (7:30pm w/audio)!
MONDAY: CINCO de MAYO officially hits us and we're prepared!
Dos Equis on tap,
Coronas on ice,
Sangria & Margaritas at the ready and of course, great music & Mexican food! Plus we'll have the
Rangers vs Pens, Game 3 on Monday night (7pm w/audio)!
AND FINALLY:
The Art of Brooklyn Film Festival takes place in our own
Bay Ridge, Brooklyn starting on May 7 and runs through the 11th! Here's a chance to check out great films & shorts focusing on our great borough! Check out the site for full details and viewing schedule/locations!
So as you can see, we're revving up for what should be a fun-filled weekend! Make sure to stop by and enjoy yourselves!
CHEERS!
