The space tubules in South Williamsburg, it might be best known for his raucous performances every night, but two Sunday afternoons a month, lower though no less open-minded collection takes over. Led by people from a variety of local groups, such as collective toy, Time's Up and New Freegans York, Grub is a community dinner is "reuse" of the 3R of sustainability to the heart. Almost all the food served is made in Grub Ingredient rescued from the garbage dumps of the supermarkets in the city – food spilled, not because it was really spoiled, but as the day of its pre-determined maturity or because retailers wanted to win shelf space.

A sad reality of the industrial food system is that it costs virtually supermarkets and distributors nothing to drive perfectly good products to make way for the new. His loss is gain of Grub, allowing them to rotate several tasty vegetarian course / vegan food (usually including the desert) for 40 people. While food waste source can be a bit too local for the liking of some people, quality and quantity of what is expelled is more than a little shocking. Politics is a part of the mix in the Grub, but the argument for creative reuse is made through the food in dishes from around the world.

Another added benefit of container-dived food that the organizers are able to serve the masses on the basis of a single donation. With the money out of the equation, social interaction comes to the fore, and the talks come from all classes that were not known before entering the door. At night I've been, the audience included artists, musicians, activists, journalists, graduate students, and some of visiting Europeans who had heard about the event through the grapevine. Of course, the kaleidoscopic environment, encrusted with the remnants of parties past Tubules undoubtedly help to throw everyone off guard. If, however, politics freegan are your taste, you can learn the ins and outs of dumpster diving for their tours of garbage daily, which extend through neighborhoods across the city.

GRUB is the first and third Sunday of each month, tubules, 338 Flushing, at Classon, Brooklyn. Doors open at 6:30, dinner is at 7:00, if you are invited to appear before if you have food or cooking skills to contribute.
