    Mo Pitkins

    Words really can't do justice to the whacked out, high energy shows that appear at Mo Pitkins, a 'Judeo-Latin' restaurant/cabaret/literary salon. Mo Knows Songwriters is a popular weekly crooner event, but you'll also see acoustic sets and all-out big band swing on other nights. Either way, it's innovative entertainment with some kicking kosher Latin food. Monday night is literary night; expect live readings.

    Dishes include mac-n-cheese, garlic fries with manchego, fried artichokes, rotisserie kosher chicken and other delights, like flourless chocolate cake.

    Brick Theater

    Formerly an auto-body shop, a yoga studio and various storage spaces, this brick-walled garage has been completely refurbished into a state-of-the-art dance and theater complex, with a large sprung floor, professional lighting and sound package. Now it does critically acclaimed productions like Jenna is Nuts, Habitat, In a Strange Room (based on Faulkner's As I Lay Dying), stagings of Chekhov's Three Sisters and O'Neill's Beyond the Horizon.
