Spring has sprung! After the winter-that-wasn’t, it’s time to get back outside and enjoy some fresh air. Reif’s Tavern, one of the many businesses in our district that has been hit by the Second Avenue Subway construction, has a jewel of a backyard hidden out back. We’ll be taking it over up on Thursday, May 10th, at about 6:30pm for hamburgers, hot dogs, something vegatarian, and whatever else we can scrummage up for a cookout! There will be plenty of soft drinks to go around, and a cash bar for everything else.

Bring friends! Bring neighboors! Bring anyone who you’d like to introduce to the club! You never know what candidates and elected officials might show up and speak on the legendary Reif’s Back Stairs.

If you have any dietary restritcions, shoot over an email to dillon@lenoxhilldems.org and we’ll figure something out.

Come and join two of our local elected officials when the club heads out this week to petition for Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney’s reelection!
