Enjoy Burgers, Bourbon And Beethoven With Brooklyn's Dead

GREEN-WOOD CEMETERY, BROOKLYN — What better place could there be to enjoy Beethoven and aged spirits than in a Brooklyn cemetery?

Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetery will host its first ever Three Bs Festival — think burgers, bourbon and Beethoven — near the Gothic Arch on Saturday, May 25, at 7 p.m., organizers announced Thursday.

"Oh no big deal," organizers wrote. "[It's] just literally **the best event ever conceived in the history of humanity.**"

Participants will pay $80 ($75 for members) to enjoy a burger cook-off competition between Manhattan's Harlem Public and Brooklyn's Madcap Café and Brooklyn whiskeys from NY Distilling Co., Van Brunt Stillhouse and Widow Jane, among others.

The evening will conclude with the String Orchestra of Brooklyn, conducted by Eli Spindel, performing of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.

To refresh your memory:

This will be the second season of Green-Wood's The Angel's Share, which brings classical music, distilled liquors and other unearthly delights into the cemetery's catacombs.

Mortals over the age of 21 interested in attending can buy tickets at the Green-Wood Cemetery website.

A rain date was set for Sunday, May 26.
