Zinester's Guide to NYC Contributor Smackdown / Veggie Potluck Snackdown

Okay, okay, it's not so much a smackdown as a chance for some of our contributors to strut their zinely stuff with the NYC-flavored readings you crave! Meet some of the opinionators behind the Zinester's Guide to NYC. Pick our brains for where to go. Pick a fight over a listing you can't believe we included. And then YOU tell us where to go for edition 2.

While you're at it, don't forget to stock up on plenty of zines and Zinest...er's Guides to NYCs. Badda bing. Who says holiday shopping has to be an unpleasant chore?

Because zines are well known to stimulate the appetite, we're declaring this event a veggie hors d'oeuvres potluck. We've got the plates. Yes, pretzels qualify. So do cookies. Get your snack on by bringing some to share. Who knows? Your recipe might just turn up in the next East Village Inky!

Ayun Halliday, The East Village Inky and your emcee for the evening

Melissa Bastian, Anywhere I Lay My Head

Cecile Dyer

Fly, PEOPS

Jenna Freedman, Lower East Side Librarian
