For those of you who don’t know, Kid’s Corner is a free weekly enviro-arts & crafts center held every Saturday and Sunday in Habana Outpost’s courtyard.
To sign up your child for a Kid’s Corner, please email kids@ecoeatery.com and specify which dates you’d like to participate. Kid’s Corner runs from 12-4 pm on weekends at Habana Outpost in Ft. Greene, Brooklyn. Here’s the schedule:
