UPDATE: THIRD AMAZIN' TUESDAY IS SEPTEMBER 15, 7:00 PM, WITH GREG PRINCE, JON SPRINGER, JEFF PEARLMAN AND JOHN COPPINGER, TWO BOOTS TAVERN. CURRENT INFO HERE.
Just a reminder that your friends from Faith and Fear are co-hosting AMAZIN' TUESDAY tonight at 7:00 at Two Boots Tavern on the Lower East Side, 384 Grand St., between Norfolk and Suffolk, accessible via the F to Delancey and other popular subway lines. If you haven't been to one of our nights of reading, rooting and Randy Milligan, an impartial observer filed reviews from Metstock in June and the first AMAZIN' TUESDAY in July. When you see what you missed, surely you'll want a piece of the action this time around.
Our guests are two of the most insightful observers of the Metsopotamian condition we know. Dana Brand, author of 2007's wonderful Mets Fan, will be sharing with us The Last Days of Shea, so brand spanking new the ink is still wet. Dana also blogs regularly, thoughtfully and passionately here, and you are urged to read him regularly. Caryn Rose, known in these parts as Metsgrrl, is one of the go-to sources for life at Citi Field and its psychic environs. We're so happy to have them both.
Phil Hartman, the most Met-minded restaurateur New York has seen since Rusty Staub called it a day, will be serving up The Stork, a pizza made with Creole chicken, wild mushrooms, cheddar and mozzarella in honor of George Theodore and the (Tim) Teufel Shuffle martini, which, naturally, is shuffled not stirred. Phil's AMAZIN' TUESDAY offer of a free beer in exchange for a Met baseball card still stands. It's a great way to rid your collection of those unwanted Ollie Perezes.
Speaking of baseball cards, you're in for a treat when Jason gives you a look inside his glorious obsession that is The Holy Books. You haven't lived until you've heard what it's like to live without Al Schmelz.
As for living without Johan Santana, we'll be doing that, too, for it is what we do when such a burden is thrust upon us. The Mets-Marlins game will be on and you're welcome to look up at a TV while we talk, read and kibitz, but feel free to look at us, your pizza or your drink instead as the action at Soilmaster Stadium dictates.
We're not judgmental. We're Mets fans.
To reach Two Boots Tavern, you can take the F to Delancey and walk two short blocks south and two blocks east to Grand between Norfolk and Suffolk. There is also the J, M or Z to Essex or the B or D to Grand. Phone: 212/228-8685.
