This Thursday my friend Nikhil and his band, Nikhil P. Yerawadekar Quintet, will perform at Rose in Williamsburg. For those who don't know, Rose is a hip place (one of the few in that part of town) with a nice deck out back, an excellent alcohol selection and a reputation for booking good music. He will be gracing the stage at 9pm for a $5 cover.

Rose is located at 345 Grand Street between Havemeyer and Marcy.

He guarantees a good time and execllent music.
