Today is the 160th anniversary of the Astor Place Riot. Absurdly enough, the riot erupted between supporters of British actor William Charles Macready and his American rival Edwin Forrest. If you want some more details, the Wikipedia article is remarkably well fleshed out.
Ordinarily I wouldn’t post something like this…Brooklyn ain’t my bag, but we’re talking bacon! Tomorrow, Sunday March 29th, there’s a bacon cookoff at Radegast Hall and Beer Garden in Williamsburg.
