parkslopewalk.substack.comNoise complaints quiet Pride at Ginger's
Ginger’s announced on its Instagram Monday that “due to ongoing noise concerns in the neighborhood, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the majority of our DJ events during Pride this year.”
Last year, to celebrate their 25th anniversary, Brooklyn’s oldest lesbian bar had three Pride events, all with DJs.
