Ridgewood's creative scene lives in places like Nomad Cafe, where a neighborhood coffee spot doubles as a gallery wall for local artists. Hannah Patel's new show gets a proper launch here, with live music, a raffle and the chance to meet the artist over a drink and a bite. If you're in Ridgewood or Bushwick and want a low-key way to start the weekend around new art, this is an easy stop.
What to expect
Expect a casual, cafe-sized crowd browsing Patel's work on the walls while live music plays. Order something from the cafe to cover the drink minimum, enter the raffle and stay as long as you like.
