Bushwick, Brooklyn – Better Than Jam, along with the Shops at the Loom, is once again spicing up the neighborhood of Bushwick with its First Friday Event. . “Our First Friday Event is growing, and this month we have some great things in store,” said Karin Persan, owner of Better Than Jam. . Better Than Jam is planning some great things for the 2nd First Friday event on May 7th from 7-10pm. Attendees will get to meet some up-and-coming local designers while sipping on wine from Bodega Wine Bar and snacking on some tasty treats, like homemade jerky. Deep discounts will be offered by select designers, so anyone eying a particular piece would be well-advised to arrive early. . “May’s guest artist, Marina Reiter, will be installing some of her wonderful surrealist paintings and collages,” said Persan. “I love that this neighborhood is so full of talent, and it’s my goal to show them off. Some performers from the House Of Yes might be showing up too!” . The Shops at the Loom is becoming a fixture of Bushwick at 1087 Flushing Ave. The Loom will be hosting this monthly event, where one can expect great deals, complimentary refreshments, special performances, and artworks from local talents. Better Than Jam’s new neighbors include Bushwick Deli, purveyors of amazing sandwiches and all the essentials, Brooklyn Yarn Cafe, which carries a plethora of both knitting supplies and tasty treats, The Orphanage, where you can buy a moped, supplies, or have your moped repaired, and Brooklyn Vintage, which specializes in repairing and restoring vintage furniture. These other Loom businesses will be joining in the First Fridays celebration by offering their own amazing specials.
