During the heyday of the New York Tammany Hall political machine, the all-you-can-eat-and-drink beef and beer feast - or "beefsteak" - was a popular way for politicians to earn the votes and allegiance of New York's working class men. With the advent of women's suffrage in 1920, these extravaganzas slowly receded into backwaters of New Jersey, surviving only in the union halls of Bergen and Passaic Counties. Until now...

After 100 years in exile, the beefsteak is back. Come one, come all, to the Bell House in Gowanus on Sunday, November 8th from 3pm to 6pm to partake in the raucous atmosphere of the New York docks and saloons of years past.

The Brooklyn Beefsteak will feature hundreds of pounds of All-you-can-eat naturally raised aged beef, ever-flowing McSorley's Light and Dark Ale, your own McSorley's pint glass, Delicious side dishes prepared by one of NYC's top young chefs -- and absolutely no utensils. Residing in a 1920s printing factory, the Bell House will provide a perfect venue for a feast for over 250 thirsty carnivorous guests. Boisterous crowds committed to communal singing are not only welcome, but encouraged at this all-you-can-eat-and-drink afternoon dinner party.

Also featuring LIVE MUSIC by Susquehanna Industrial Tool & Die Co, Presentations by Beefsteak scholars Paul Lukas (ESPN.com Page 2 Columnist) and Bill Wander, plus an Eating Contest, Raffles, and More!
