So every once in a while in NYC, you find yourself sitting right inside of a movie. That movie you saw when you were a teenager that made your heart swell with the romanticism and the fantasy of New York City. Those times are what remind you of why you’re here. They validate all the crowded subway rides and the rent that’s too damn high. The Buoys are in one of those moments right now. In the basement of a New York institution @jimmysno43, watching a dude paint some masterpiece, hearing some live piano and chilling with the founder of @brooklynbrewery. Here’s to those New York nights. Wish you were here. The Brothers Buoy at our 10th Anniversary Celebration

You may have heard that The Back Room at Jimmy’s No. 43 was recently lauded as one of the 50 Coolest Places in NYC by complex.com. Which didn’t surprise us because, for years we’ve been NYC’s worst kept secret among the arts community: It is the frequent venue for various theatrical and musical groups, non-profit functions, tastings and more. Because of Jimmy’s No. 43 first ever successful Kickstarter campaign, we were able to make improvements in 2013 to offer even more opportunities for arts groups, private parties and corporate gatherings in The Back Room at Jimmy’s No. 43.

We wish to thank all our Kickstarter donors (at left) for their generous support in helping us improve our backroom for these arts groups who are creating productions in the East Village.
