Hell Gate Reviews Hell Gate Event: Plucky Pub Changes the Game Entirely with Dazzling Party

Become a Believer and we'll see you at the next one!

Host for the night, Hell Gate’s Adlan Jackson (Edwina Hay)

A week after a smoke-related postponement, Hell Gate contributors and Believer-level subscribers gathered at Lowlands in Gowanus on Wednesday evening, to bring the beauty of blogs to the microphone.

Complimentary wine flowed, stirring conversation followed, and with just a slight rain delay, Hell Gate staffers shared tales of elevated dog shows, roses with interesting names, historically and architecturally significant parking spaces, a mythical Knicks season that's still ongoing, and why, ultimately, readings will let you down (in a cool way).

Past gatherings have included a Spooky Halloween Garden Pizza Party in the LES, and a backroom reading in a Bushwick loft. Later this summer? We're thinking of a beach party.
