Members of Community Board 6 came together in Carroll Gardens last night to celebrate the Holidays.  The event was held at Red Rose Restaurant, one of the oldest eateries on Smith Street (29 years and counting.)  

Joining the festivities were Assemblymembers Joan Millman and James Brennan, New York State Senator Daniel Squadron, Councilman Brad Lander and Democratic District Leader JoAnne Simon.

It was great fun, especially hanging out with my favorite Carroll Gardens Red Hook resident and former CB6 Board member, Celia Cacace.

Join Members Of Community Board 6 At Annual Holiday Party

Members of Brooklyn Community Board 6, which represent Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Gowanus, Red Hook, the Columbia Street District and Park Slope, are inviting others in the community to join them at Red Rose Restaurant next Monday to celebrate the Holidays. Below is more info on the celebration:

"Here's a chance to come together as a community, to share some food and frivolity in a casual, social environment. That's right - no minutes to take, Robert's Rules of Order are suspended, and the only thing on the agenda is having fun!This year's event will be held on Monday, December 19th from 6-9pm, at Red Rose Restaurant, 315 Smith Street (between Union/President Streets), in Carroll Gardens. It's only $30 per person for savory, delicious snacks and soda. There's also a cash bar.We keep the price down to make this an affordable night out for everyone. And if we do clear anything above our cost, that money is used to help support our 501(c)3 organization, Friends of Brooklyn Community Board 6, Inc. It's our Friends group that pays for this monthly newsletter, and supplements our community board's meager operating budget.In order to keep us going another year, we would be grateful if you would consider making a year-end contribution on top of the party cost. Feel free to round-up to $50, or $100, or whatever fits your budget, and bring your check made out to "Friends of Brooklyn CB6, Inc." to the party with you, or mail it to us at 250 Baltic Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201. As a non-profit organization, your year-end contribution is tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.We hope to see you at the party, because it wouldn't be a party without YOU. Feel free to bring family, friends and neighbors too."

David Chase Uses Red Rose On Smith To Film Scenes For His Newest Project

There was quite a bit of commotion outside of Red Rose Restaurant on Smith Street tonight as scenes of David Chase's new production were filming in the Italian eatery. The creator of HBO's The Sopranos has signed James Gandolfini, Bella Heathcote, Christopher McDonald and Brad Garrett to his first full feature film. Steven Van Zandt is an executive producer and music advisor for the film. According to Movie Web, it's "a music-driven coming of age story set in suburbia in the '60s"
That would explain the vintage cars parked in front of Red Rose.

When I walked by at about 9 pm, and it looked as though things were starting to wrap up. I didn't spot any celebrities. Did anyone else?
