We NYC area Kossacks are about to have a treat – a visit from the redoubtable
Chacounne (Heather)! To learn more about her (if you don’t know her by now!) and how you can enjoy an evening with her, come below the pouff-de-Kos:
Chacounne is best known here for her tireless advocacy against torture, her contributions to
IGTNT and
This Week in the War on Women, and her trenchant commentary all over this site. In fact,
she’s involved in so many DK groups, you’ll wonder how she finds time to breathe, let alone come to NYC and have dinner with us! Lucky for the rest of us, she’s doing both of the those things, and you can join us:

This location is not wheelchair accessible (entrance is 2 steps down).
This place is a moderately-priced Japanese restaurant with an
izakaya (sake bar) /noodle shop type menu – perfect for nibbling and sharing with beer, sake,
sochu, wine and good conversation. And for those of you who simply cannot imagine a meetup without them,
yes, they have “French frai”! You can see a
slide show of their menu on their website!
