The holidays are just around the corner, a fact which still seems completely mind-boggling to me. Even for those of us who aren't yet ready, the Third Annual Holiday Spirits Bazaar is a fun and boozy way to kick off the holiday season. $45 gets you admission to the Astor Center, 399 Lafayette Street, for either the 1-4 pm or 7-10 pm sessions, each with cheese and charcuterie from Stinky Bklyn and cocktails galore. And in the holiday spirit, a portion of the evening's proceeds will benefit the Children’s Aid Society of New York, and guests are asked to bring a new, unwrapped toy or non-perishable food for victims of Hurricane Sandy. See you Saturday — cheers!
