Okay, to be clear, when the book first opens, a man called Jim, looking earnestly into Jacqueline’s anus on her very first day as a stripper, is a client

Lorenzo’s. Photo via @liamblank We’re not going to lie, summer in Bushwick was freakin’ awesome – outdoor concert venues, stellar watering holes, Michelin-worthy restaurants – but it’s time to welcome in a new season filled with itchy sweaters, gold-hued leaves, and some amazing new restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and juice places in Bushwick. From cultish […]

Almost a year ago, we enjoyed Governors Ball’s joyous return after a 2013 monsoon washout

“Nothing is forever,” Brooklyn-based artist Vexta says when discussing street art’s temporary life span

Valentine’s Day – love it or hate it, it’s HERE, and you’ve got plenty of options throughout the weekend

Winter’s bearing down on us, and everyone’s already battening down the hatches and getting ready to cuddle up against the cold

We hope you are all as jazzed about CMJ as we are! The festival is the College Music Journal’s “Music Marathon”- a completely amazing (and exhausting) week (October 21-25, 2014) of live music, giving the music community a chance to catch the best new artists from around the world before they blow up

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 […]

Bushwick has never seen a house like this before, and not just because of its amenities

Holy moly! We can’t believe the super sold out Governor’s Ball is this weekend

Remember when the Girls took to Bushwick to rage out in a warehouse and (accidentally) smoke crack? Well, that’s not the route we recommend you go this weeken–maybe instead grab a 5-hour energy to get your fix as you hop around art shows by day and hit the rock and roll by night! Not all these shows are tied in with Bushwick Open Studios, but they will all be mega-fun and nothing like the gif above (hopefully?)

What’s this? Another giveaway? You’re in luck, Bushwick Daily readers, because we’re giving away a pair of tickets to one of our favorite BK events– Film Feast ($150 value!). The film feast series is among many of Nitehawk’s fantastic offerings, including midnight and brunch screenings, SPOONS, TOONS & BOOZE, and NITEHAWK NASTIES. Film Feast is our favorite of all, […]

We’re kicking off this week with a new column combining the playlists from our music section with features on some of our favorite community members: bartenders! Always patient and usually kind, they’re the ones curating your dining or drinking experience, whether it’s a weekday brunch or saturday night out. This week we’ve got an interview […]

Might I encounter the rousing side of Bushwick in this weekend’s top art picks? As I share the sexy side of our artsy enclave on this week’s #BushwickDaily Insta-Takeover, I am tempted to untap the sultry, suprising or bravely sensual side of the neighborhood art scene. Whether blatant or subtle, upfront or shyly concealed, I’ll […]

Everything seems to be going full speed in life lately. The days are longer, but they go by faster and there’s more to be done. Ferris Bueller said it right when he quipped, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” So, taking heed […]

We at Bushwick Daily are total romantics and proudly celebrate Valentine’s Day

I like torturing my boyfriend

In light of a little holiday that cozy couples call “Valentine’s Day,” and the rest of us singles refer to as “The Day That Shall Not Be Named, nor Referred To,” The Bushwick Daily staff is putting together a shin-dig of epic proportions! In a move of shameless love promotion, Bushwick Daily will be hosting the Fishnets and Bowties Valentine’s Day Party at Bizarre on February 13th! Said costumes very much encouraged

CMJ has come and gone in a fury of five booze-fueled days

It’s getting to that time of the year where great shows are happening every day of the week

It may seem like quite a while ago at this point but the world’s best indie festival, South By Southwest, was just a few weeks past, March 12-16, and everyone in the music industry will continue to feel its repercussions all year, especially those from Brooklyn! From the bands that made it big to those that seemed to crash and burn, everyone who attended took away some great musical memories, including Bushwick Daily! We had three writers (Danielle Thompson, Ileana Little, and yours truly) hanging out in Austin, snapping instagrams, taking notes, and absorbing everything we heard
