Think of stuff you can rent, and three things probably come to mind: apartments, movies (but these days, why even pay?) and cars (traditionally or Zipped). That’s about it for the usual suspects. We can pretty much guarantee a “DIY Seafood Boil Kit” wasn’t within a nautical mile of coming to mind. But you know where we’re going here: The boil kit, of course, is rentable too—for $20 a day. And you and your crawfish dinner will be hooking up on Snapgoods (Own less. Do more.), a brand new Brooklyn-based rental site for whatever you might need… for however long you need it.

Park Slope/ Prospect Heights
Momasphere, a mama-power group that works to “round out motherhood” through communal events and fundraisers, is throwing Luna Fest this Sunday, May 23. The benefit film-fest will be a chance to watch movies all by women, for women, about women and nibble treats and grab gifties from a bunch of sponsors at the Brooklyn Art Exchange in Park Slope. The best part? The festival is showing Brokelyn (and you) some love, with a 50 percent discount if you buy a ticket online before the show.
What do Don Cheadle, Richard Gere, Ethan Hawke, Wesley Snipes and YOU have in common? If you’re our core demographic, maybe not tons. But tomorrow night, you can all be in the same place.
Brokelyn has two tickets to give away to the premiere of the new film Brooklyn’s Finest and our giveaway includes invites to the after-party with the stars of the film, at a glam hotel they asked us not to mention here because it’s a PRIVATE event.
The movie stars all of the above and was directed by Antoine Fuqua, who won an Oscar for Training Day. It tells the interweaving stories of three cops in Brownsville, where parts of it were filmed. Rumor has it (according to the NY Post) that rival gangs even called a truce during the shoot, while the film’s crew and actors received some real-world guidance and advice from neighborhood residents.
The premier is tomorrow night, March 2, at 7:30 p.m. in Manhattan (Brooklyn’s finest neighbor). Ditch the jeans and flannel kids, because if you’re rubbing elbows with Willy Mays Hayes you had better be making your friends at Brokelyn proud.
Want in? E-mail us at cops@brokelyn.com by tonight at 11:59, and we’ll pick a random winner at midnight. You have to be a Brokelyn e-mail subscriber to be eligible. Not an e-mail subscriber yet? What are you waiting for? That’s how you don’t miss cool stuff like this. Subscribe here.
