Soul 45 Dance Night

Wednesdays are soul 45 nights at

BOTANICA

47 East Houston Street, between Mulberry and Mott

downstairs

9:30 till late

free

OK, so it’s not in Boo-coo-coo, but there’s a lot of moms and dads out there who could use some soul-moving booty-shaking in a dive bar on Houston Street. Forget about the last 6 years for a couple of hours, throw back a pint or two and jiggle around to some great, rare old tunes. You’ll hear soul, funk, old Motown, that kind of thing.

DJ Matt Finewine has been spinning at Botanica every Wednesday for 18 years. Check out this interview with the DJ, who’s originally from Detroit and has been collecting 45s since he was like 8.
