Misery Loves Gin Results Party at The Shanty
79 Richardson Street, Williamsburg. 6 pm: FREE. 

Williamsburg distillery and bar The Shanty seems to really enjoy plying folks with free liquor, and tonight will be no exception. Thank God, as you’ll surely need it no matter what transpires. Sip on complimentary Pink Gin and Rock Rye while you bite your nails in anticipation, and when the end results are called, you’ll be able to soak up all that booze with some pizza.

But it’s still safe to say everyone who forked over $250 and up got their money’s worth.

Elliot Crown is an actor who likes the political, an activist who loves creativity. Mash that together and you get one of New York’s only political puppeteers.
