Sometimes “DIY” just sounds glorious but all it really just means is that you have to do everything yourself. But it’s usually totally worth it.

And so in February, the idea to make our own print quarterly magazine was born. It would be quarterly, beautiful (naturally), epic (wohooo) and sized just enough to fit into a purse. I personally fell in love with the word “notebook” and how it makes me feel when I say it, and so we named it Bushwick Notebook!

The idea was to create a magazine, the content of which originates in Bushwick but transcends its borders; a magazine that acts as a messenger for doing things the Bushwick way. Lifestyle, entrepreneurship, interesting people, fashion, those were subjects we wanted to take a look at.
