Ten months after Hurricane Sandy swamped the place, much-loved Red Hook watering hole Sunny’s finally reopened last (8/29) after friends, patrons, and neighbors helped raise over $100,000 to repair it. There was a ribbon-cutting ceremony and then the party began (they also celebrated co-owner Sunny Balzano’s 79th birthday). which featured a performance from swing band Smokey’s Round‑Up and The Secret Family.

Tonight at the bar, you can catch The Xylophone People. Welcome back, Sunny’s!
