About Fall Kickoff Reading Series

Six authors including Ed Park, Teddy Wayne, and Jess Row read from their latest books at Franklin Park's Fall Kickoff. Free admission includes a raffle for signed books, plus cheap beer and a book table from Unnameable Books.

At Franklin Park

A roomy covered patio with heaters, $2 beers with burgers on game days, and a British phone booth photo booth in the corner set the tone. NY Magazine dubbed it Brooklyn's 'Indoor-Outdoor Brewtopia' and the nickname fits. Dogs are welcome at the bar, and the place fills fast once the game kicks off.
