About this Event

Spoons Toons & Booze Says No To Drugs


Your Favorite Saturday Morning Cartoons + Free Cereal + a Special Menu of Classic Anti-Drug PSA Episodes!

Your friends at SecretFormula know that when April rolls around, it’s the perfect time to pour a bowl of sugary cereal and dive into some far-out toons. To celebrate that very special date later in the month, cartoon and cereal connoisseurs Michael Austin and Nell Casey will guide you through a hilariously sincere lineup of anti-drug PSA episodes from the ’80s and ’90s—featuring your favorite animated heroes delivering messages about staying straight, staying safe, and saving the future.

What’s on the menu:

Over 150 cartoon series spanning the 1940s through the early 2000s—and you help decide what plays on the big screen.

The Free Sugary Cereal Bar returns! Load up on chocolatey, fruity, and cinnamon-y classics. Dairy and non-dairy milks available.

Specialty brunch cocktails including The Sonny, a White Russian topped with Cocoa Puffs. Plus: Cereal Shots! Spike your bowl with a drop of Baileys or Kahlua.

Cartoon contests & prizes! Compete in games that help decide the cartoons we watch and win cereal- and cartoon-themed prizes

Pour a bowl, grab a seat, and relive the era when cartoons taught us important life lessons… usually right after a commercial for sugary cereal.


About SecretFormula: We produce, host and throw parties and events all over, but mainly in Brooklyn. Always fun...funny when possible. From group singing dance parties with your favorite music videos subtitled for the whole crowd to sing along with (Sing-Alongs), to cartoon and cereal brunches featured in Time Magazine (Spoons, Toons & Booze), to themed TV and movie parties and lots more we bring the nerdy and nostalgic together for your enjoyment and to bring like minded people together to share their passions IRL. We've been entertaining NYC and leading the charge on the 90's renaissance since 2009...time to experience the secret for yourself.
