Second Saturday! :: Retail Therapy Guide 10/8/2021

Cuddly weather is getting closer! The mornings are misty and the evenings are cool, while the afternoons still tease us with the balmy 72 degrees for a bit longer. The darker mornings and evenings mean one thing: reading under a blanket just got easier. Ever at your service, ALBB's author of our Writerly Happenings series, Phoebe Zinman, has collected many places you can find literary inspirations in the Hudson Valley this October. As New York City and now LA require proof of vaccination at restaurants, bars and gyms, some Beacon restaurants are voluntarily wanting proof of vaccination. The Roundhouse announced their proof policy last week for people dining. Shortly after announcing their pausing, Quinn's has announced that they are indeed reopening with live performances, but with a few differences this time: there will be a required cash admission price (versus the donation-based method used prior) and a proof of vaccination with masks. Restaurants in Beacon have been adjusting their safety policies since the beginning, with the most recent shift being losing their outdoor dining parklets early in the Fall season. A reminder to happy customers: restaurants often get hammered by bad online reviews for a variety of reasons. If you love an establishment, go ahead and leave a review. While most detest Yelp, it still holds weight in the media and with some readers. During coffee or tea one morning, do the rounds for someone on Google, Yelp, FB, and others to offset any grumpycats. Wishing you a thoughtful Indigenous People's Weekend. Here is what is happening in the City of Niagra Falls. Find good reading recommendations for Native Americans in the Hudson Valley at Binnacle Books. These Second Saturday Highlights are made possible by the sponsorship of No. 3 Reading Room & Photo Book Works. (top) Mariam Aziza Stephan at No. 3 Reading Room & Photo Book Works 469 Main Street, Beacon, NY 12508 On view are four works-on-paper selected from the larger body of this work from Mariam Aziza Stephan. The originals are small, intimate 6 x 18″ India ink drawings on paper that has been cut open and reassembled with additions and deletions, like the sacrifice zones they represent. Details > (bottom left) Teron Wright & Flu Season at Twins Barbershop 349 Main Street, Beacon, NY 12508 Teron Wright returns with his friend, Flu Season, for more mixed media work from the two Beacon natives. Teron's art is centered around portraits with an abstract twist or feel. Teron likes to recreate all kinds of portraits or famous events that contain a message or powerful statement. The colors used represent the message or mood of the subject he's creating; the colors give the painting an abstract vibe. Flu Season's pieces consist of dark comedy, iconic cartoon characters/celebrities, politics, current events and such. His mediums are copic markers, inks, colored pencils, acrylic, oil on paper or canvas. Details > (bottom right) Fruma Shrensel at The Lofts at Beacon 18 Front Street, Beacon, NY 12508 Fruma Shrensel's work examines our human selves as they exists in a world of form. Fruma says: "Our Being is an indefinable essence that expresses itself in countless ways. These works offer visual interpretations of only a few parts of Being. There are so many more. Come and share. What does Being mean to you?"

Some attendees will be traveling together from NYC but Hudson Valley locals are also encouraged to join for the non-transportation option (those not traveling to the area in the rental car will also need to provide their own transport in between Newburgh and Beacon). We will start our day by visiting the studios of three female artists (Theresa Gooby, Kirsten Kucek & Jackie Skrzynski) located in Newburgh, just across the Hudson from Beacon, NY. We will have the chance to learn about each artist’s process and inspirations, seeing works in progress as we go. We will then have a delicious lunch at Ms. Fairfax in Newburgh, followed by a private guided tour of Dia: Beacon.

This perry is made entirely of those wild foraged pears, which were wild yeast fermented and aged in both stainless and neutral oak, then tiraged to induce a secondary fermentation in bottle. Steve shares "the result is stunning, smelling of lilacs and beach grass and birch beer and stone, tasting of blanched almonds and unripe peaches. The mousse is full and luscious, giving body, while soft tannins and fully integrated acidity offer shape and a pleasing, flavorful finish that lingers. Good stuff!" PS: Dirty Bacchus is hiring!
