Lit Crawl Invades Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill

Readers, writers and social drinkers, rejoice! San Francisco's legendary LitQuake is bringing its signature brand of booze-meets-Byron revelry to Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill for the first Brooklyn Lit Crawl on May 19.

While a Manhattan version of the literary-themed bar hop has existed for the past four years, this is the first time creators will be venturing into the better borough.

More than 30 authors will be represented at 14 separate events that day, such as literary-themed trivia, Taboo, and even a cabaret. A list of participating venues is featured below. For a complete description of the events, visit litcrawl.org.
