Whew, what a whirlwind summer! For those of you who managed to escape the concrete clutches of the city for a few months, the neighborhood might seem a little different now. There’s about a bazillion new places to get sloshed, and most of them serve food, too. Unfortunately, this summer also saw the demise of […]

Thanks to the heat and humidity this week, several city agencies are warning New Yorkers to take extra precautions.

Though many Bushwick and Ridgewood residents have ACs and fans, there are families who can’t afford a cooling system to stave off the humidity. Luckily, there are public cooling centers in the area.

Forget about whatever bullshit you had planned for next Tuesday because you don’t need it

Last week’s openings got us all hot and bothered, literally. Summer weather came back just as it was expected to end—and it’s due to the Bushwick art scene heating up (so it’s not just global warming, guys).  From Valentine Gallery to Schema Projects and onto Outlet, as the temperature gets ready to fall, the suart heats […]

This past weekend (July 26- 27), Out In The Streets Festival returned to the historic Onderdonk House on Flushing Avenue in Ridgewood

Bushwick galleries are kicking up the pace as we enter into the mid-summer scape. While the rest of the art world may be on vacation (oh we’re not jealous of the sand, surf and sun they’re experiencing—okay maybe we are…) we are experiencing more commotion from the current set. Bushwick’s summer kids are in a sort of microcosm—a […]
