Dear fellow Yalies, You're cordially invited to the inaugural Yale Alumni Happy Hour in New York City on February 1 at Le Colonial! While the Yale Club of New York offers some opportunities to get together, many of those activities are for members only. This new series of Happy Hour gatherings would be open and free to all alumni and would give you a chance to meet/mingle/network informally with fellow alumni in the area. The first gathering will take place from 6:30-9:30 PM by the bar area upstairs at Le Colonial, which is located at: 149 East 57th Street (between Lexington and 3rd Ave.) New York, New York 10022 Phone: 212.752.0808 FYI, Le Colonial officially does not have "Happy Hours", so there won't be any particular drink specials. This venue was chosen because it's near Grand Central (in case some folks are coming from out of town) and it offers delicious appetizers. If you plan to join us, please RSVP by emailing This email address is hidden from email harvesters via JavaScript by January 31 with the following info. so that we can better prepare for this event: Name: Class year: Yale College? (if so, mark X ) ___ or a graduate/professional school (if so, please indicate which one): __________________________ We'll try to preprint name tags for those who do RSVP. We look forward to seeing you all at the Happy Hour! Additional Info/Contact: | ||

The first Thursday of each month, Stain celebrates the new artist on our walls. This month we are proud to showcase the works of a Yale alum, JESSICA M.

Half of the proceeds of this show will benefit the bar and help fund events such as this. Reception with the artist from 7-11 p.m with drink specials and affordable framed works for sale.

The Freedom Tower? The West Side Stadium? New York architecture needs a swift kick in the ass. This February, Les Freres Corbusier finally puts the punk rock back into urban planning: Amidst a blaze of streaming media, ridiculous choreography, and dozens of live fornicating rabbits, a desperate battle is waged over the creation of New York’s bridges, highways, and public housing. Freemasons dance, FDR levitates, and Daniel Liebeskind silently weeps... None shall be spared. Profiled by Time Out New York as one of the four young theatre companies to watch in the City, Les Freres’ previous shows have been called, “Inspired” by the New Yorker, “Daring” by The New York Times, and “Brave” by The New York Sun. From the OBIE Award winning creators of A Very Merry Unauthorized Children's Scientology Pageant comes their newest hit: Boozy Additional Info/Contact: Running from February 12 through March 5 | ||

Returning from LA for one night only, Boomie Aglietti performs his ever-changing one-man show at the Tank one final time. His intelligent absurdism, the hallmark of his razor-sharp writing, breathes life into a fresh set of delusional, self-absorbed oddballs.
