Nicole Topich presents a talk on the Oskar Diethelm Library's Witchcraft Collection, tracing links between psychiatry, mesmerism, spiritualism, and witchcraft. Free registration required, co-sponsored by the Metropolitan New York Library Council.
Dim lights, neon bats overhead, coffin-print wallpaper, and vintage monster posters make this Ridgewood tavern feel like a horror movie set that serves burgers instead of screams. The menu swings from fried artichokes to fish sandwiches to vegan comfort food, while the bar turns out vampire-themed cocktails (and mocktails that are just as fun). It’s more cozy than creepy, with staff who crack jokes instead of playing it spooky, making it the rare goth-leaning bar that feels genuinely welcoming.
