THE SHOP'S FIRST BIRTHDAY BASH

Our favorite ultra-chic café/bar/creperie is celebrating its very first birthday this month! Leave it to Le Shop (if you’re fancy) to have only the hippest of events for its beloved patrons. They’re closing down the street on April 8th for a good old-fashioned block party! At 8pm there will be a break dance-off with breakers from Cornell, Binghamton University, and Ithaca College, and some local professional b-boys, including Mike Rez. Triple Cities Vintage will be setting up a pop-up shop to vend during the contest, and Muckles Ink will be live event T-shirt printing ($15 a shirt, and a free PBR with every purchase)! The dance contest will be followed promptly by a beat box-off by Binghamton University students. The party moves indoors at 9pm, when Girot Rumber o, a Latin Roots Fusion band from Ithaca (featuring The Shop’s own Keaton Rood) will be providing music for the evening. There will be drink specials, but the kitchen will be closed (though they will be participating in Restaurant Week until 7:30pm if you want to grab a bite prior to the festivities). The Shop is located at 219 Washington Street in Binghamton.
