Our friends Chris Cuzme and Mary Izett enjoy pairing fine crafted beers with delectable foods. They wanted to share that joy with others, and so created NYCDAT, the NYC Degustation Advisory Team.
They are dedicated to the promotion and appreciation of craft beer through creative beer & food pairing. Experimenting with various craft beer and food combinations, they provide delightful of mouth parties while striving to never repeat themselves in our presenting new pairings.
Their next pairing is on Tuesday, July 1 and Wednesday, July 9, 2008...

Save Coney Island - Public Meeting Tue. June 24, 2008
Below is a message from The Save Coney Island Coalition:
"The city's new plan almost completely abolishes the amusement district for the sake of high rise hotels and retail. Coney Island is currently zoned for 61 acres of amusements; the city's new proposal reduces the amount of amusements to 9 acres.
This reduction of the Amusement District will destroy Coney Island's legacy as "the People's Playground" and defeat the goal of creating a world class amusement and tourist destination.
25 to 30 story high rises and retail do not belong in the amusement district!
Retail is no substitute for amusements!
There is plenty of space outside of the Amusement District, in Coney Island for residential, hotels and retail! Why destroy the amusement district forever to meet this goal?"
What can you do to help SAVE CONEY ISLAND?!
The Save Coney Island Coalition says yes to revitalizing Coney's world famous amusement zone!
NO to 26 New High Rises of up to 30 stories each in the current Amusement District!
NO to Retail, Malls or "Entertainment Retail" in the Amusement District!
NO to shrinkage of the Amusement District from 61 acres to 9 acres!
YES to preserving Amusement Zoning in the Amusement District!!
YES to keeping Coney Island the People's Playground- providing accessible Amusements for ALL to enjoy
Visit the Save Coney Island website: myspace.com/saveconeyisland
Learn the truth! Don't be fooled by the city's spin on their revised rezoning plan!

If you are a visitor to Coney Island from outside the city, another state or country, when you get home, send a postcard to Mayor Bloomberg, telling him what you enjoyed about your visit, and why you won't come back to visit a Coney Island where amusements and authenticity have been zoned out of existence and replaced by generic retail stores, formula restaurants and so-called "entertainment retail."
