COOK SPACE FRIDAY FEELS | Fuel Your Freedom

As we pack away our pumpkins and come down from our Halloween highs, we’re taking a more serious approach to the month ahead. For, as much as Cook Space is about food and revelry, at our heart and soul, we are all about community. As proud members of this collection of vibrant, diverse and active individuals in our beautiful borough of Brooklyn, we are even more proud to make ourselves heard alongside our neighbors at the polls this coming Tuesday. November 6th is election day. We let ourselves down two years ago when we failed to show up. Let’s not make that mistake again.
