FFIT Fun Run
2024-02-29 18:30 - 19:30
From collaborations with HOKA to hosting Ridgewood Rides and the Shorewalkers group meetups to, most recently, the Crispy Morning weekend run for the opening of Finback LIC, we believe in the importance of an active lifestyle and its value to physical, mental, and emotional well-being. For many people, exercise and drinking are closely related; both can provide opportunities to explore new surroundings and enhance social connectedness; both are driven by hugely passionate communities.
On the Finback team, there are lovers of running, cycling, meditation, softball, weightlifting, and more. It's not uncommon for us to finish one of these activities together at the taproom. The same can be said of our guests.
And, so, that's why we're excited to launch FFIT, short for Finback Fitness, which will be used as a way to greater combine our loves of movement, beer, and people.
The inaugural FFIT "event" will be a fun run during New York City Beer Week, taking place from our LIC taproom on Thursday, February 29th. There will be two routes: Gantry, about five miles; and Queensbridge, about two miles. All paces welcome!
After the run, we will convene at the taproom for $5 Crispy Morning pilsners.
Stay tuned to Finback LIC's Instagram (https://instagram.com/finbacklic) for more info.

Valerie Green/Dance Entropy premiere RITE at the C
2024-02-29 19:30 - 2024-03-02 20:30
“RITE” is a healing ceremony, a meditative ritual, and an exorcism of the ego.
Choreographed by Artistic Director Valerie Green, VG/DE’s newest evening length work performed by six men is a physical invocation of our internal struggle with self-image and societal pressure, and the vulnerable journey from Form to Clarity. The dancers’ instinct drives this powerful, trance-based dance, isolating them from one another—they experience both a personal and collective spiritual catharsis. Inspired by shamanic journeying and altered states of consciousness, “RITE invites us to contemplate our individual struggles and release our attachments to Body and Thought. Join us as we discover what lies beyond our own limitations..
"RITE offers an explosive appreciation of the human experience and captures what is trapped within our mind and soul, giving us an opportunity to reflect and delve into our own struggles and being”
– Carl Ballenas, Center at Maple Grove Cemetery
