Shape The Night

Before

Arepas Cafe

Long walk · 0.7 mi · 13 min walk; 2 min ride - Astoria

A narrow Venezuelan place on 36th Avenue that has been griddling arepas on this block since the late 2000s. You order at the counter from a board of about twenty fillings and the reina pepiada is the one most people come back for. There are a dozen or so tables and the turnover is quick. It sits directly across 36th Avenue from Melrose Ballroom's door.

7:00 PM · Paul Lazar: Lecture on the History of Skywriting

After

J.G. Melon

short ride recommended · 6 min - Upper East Side

A cash-only tavern on the corner of Third and 74th, serving the same burger on the same checkered tablecloths since 1972. The bar runs most of the length of the front and is where you should aim if the tables have a wait, because they often do and there is no list to get on. Order the burger and the cottage fries. The kitchen shuts well before the bar does.
