Beltane on B

Celebrate Beltane -- and May Day -- with us! We will have a full day of live music, a Maypole in the middle of Avenue B, friends vending and, at 6, a "secret screening" in the back yard, with art and artists and other secret stuff!

East Village Vintage Collective will have a rack of their colorful clothing and they’ll be joined by even MORE color with Miss FrizzDazzle and HER vintage threads! Nora Balaban will be selling her handstamped, upcycled shirts, and Tiny Kitchen Pizza will be serving up the gourmet slices, with more vendors being added. Get in touch if you're interested!

More info on Tiny Pizza Kitchen: New York-raised August ‘AJ’ Russo is shaking up conventional pizza with his Tiny Pizza Kitchen, both at his brick and mortar speakeasy and with his on the go ovens. Brought to life by Russo after a year into the pandemic, he serves homemade whole Neapolitan pies and Sicilian pizza by the slice, all made with local ingredients and fired in his rustic outdoor oven.

Growing up with his Neapolitan grandmother, Russo spent most of his free time as a child in the kitchen with family, assisting her with various prep work and tasks to help make her beloved meals. As a youngster, Russo worked in a variety of shops and restaurants, eventually making it to Provincetown, Massachusetts. It was there he observed the staff, particularly the sauté chef – and fell deeper in love with the art of cooking. Russo then went on to attend Johnson & Wales in Rhode Island and soon after made a name for himself as a hungry, young chef in New York City.

In 2020, AJ returned to one of his original passions — pizza. Intended as a fun side hobby for the weekend, what eventually became the Tiny Pizza Kitchen now fills Russo’s week. His pies use fresh ingredients from across the city, and are infused with his grandmother’s best recipes.
