WILD HIVE NEWSLETTER 6-6-12
We’re Changing Thursdays!
Thursday nights at the Hive are undergoing a transformation, starting this week. For a start, we’ll be offering our Summer Dinner Menu, as we do on Friday and Saturday nights. So, if you arrive with your mouth watering for a burger, veggie or beefy, then a burger you shall have! Plus super salads, cheese plates, grilled cheese, soups and more. What’s more, we’ll have special entrées as we do on Saturday nights.
More Choices
This Thursday, for example, in addition to the Summer Dinner Menu, there’s:
Easy Jazz and Swing with Crazy Feet Pete , guitarist, vocalist and avid dancer, who’s been playing swing for dancers in the Hudson Valley and beyond for years. He leads the swing dance band Crazy Feet, is a member of the Deane Machine, mondoRAJ, and Flappity Back., as well as the band Soul Purpose. He is joined by Lou Pappas on Bass and Ron Knittle on Sax.
