Mister Sunday – Page 29 – Mister Saturday Night

Gowanus Grove

Posted on April 19, 2011August 15, 2012 by Justin Carter

Welcome to Gowanus Grove, a little slice of paradise in the middle of industrial Brooklyn. Situated on the border of Carroll Gardens and Gowanus, the site has been a long-time home for cultural events (once as the home of Issue Project Room and then of BKLYN Yard), its bucolic setting the perfect respite from the concrete and steel that surrounds it.

Gowanus Grove is located at 400 Carroll Street between Bond and Nevins in Brooklyn. To get there, you can take the F or G train to Carroll Street. Mister Sunday resides at Gowanus Grove every Sunday during the summer. Check the schedule to the right to find out when we’ll be there.

note. Occassionally we’ll host a non-Mister Sunday special event at the Grove. If you’re looking for information about such an event, refer to its website for more info. We just list the Mister Sunday stuff here! Thanks, and we we hope to see you soon!

Introducing Mister Sunday

Posted on April 17, 2011November 15, 2011 by Justin Carter

We’ve been keeping this one under our hats for a while, but the time has come to spill the beans. In just over a month, on Memorial Day Weekend, we’re introducing Mister Sunday, the outdoor, Sunday afternoon spinoff of Mister Saturday Night. Clever name, we know.

If you ever came to Sunday Best at BKLYN Yard, you’ll know the place: it’s the same canal-side, tree-spotted plot of land at 400 Carroll Street between Bond and Nevins in Brooklyn, now rechristened Gowanus Grove.

If you never made it down, let us count the ways you’re going to love it. First, kids and dogs – you can bring them. We love them, and we don’t get to see enough of them on Saturday nights. Second, superb food – we’re teaming up with Brooklyn Flea to install a small but ace team of food vendors. Right now, we’ve confirmed Mile End, who will be serving a bunch of stuff you can’t get at the storefront in Boerum Hill, and we’re soon to confirm at least one more. Third, our friends from Botanica, the best little bar in the five boroughs, are taking care of the booze.

And last, but certainly not least, is the music. The Mister Saturday Night residents, Justin Carter and Eamon Harkin, the gents that pull the strings to bring it all together, will be playing records each and every Sunday through the summer on the big, blue soundsystem. There’ll be guests alongside them occasionally as well. Moodymann, Todd Terje, Horse Meat Disco, Optimo and Space Dimension Controller will all take their turns, and on opening day, Four Tet will drop by.

And that’s all there is to say about that. We’ll see you outside.

A Sunday Celebration with Justus Kohncke

Spring has finally arrived in New York which means summer isn’t far off. I dipped into the archives of our old Sunday party this week and had a listen to Justus Kohncke’s set from 2009. It’s pretty great and it brought back lovely memories, such as the one above. If you don’t have the set already you can grab it here. Roll on summer.

Optimo at The Best

It was one of many highlights of the summer – the occasion where Optimo and Mister Saturday Night rubbed shoulders at our sister party Sunday Best. We stumbled across some great footage from the day, so we just had to share it with you.
