Daylight Savings is upon us, readers. Ah, the feeling of the sky not being pitch-black at 5pm! Life is good. Although we lost an hour, we gained sunlight, and thus, hopefully, we’re all waking from winter hibernation—and weather has been fluctuating as dramatically as Kanye’s daily commentary, which means everyone should be feeling the need to seize the beautiful […]

Treadmills, be gone!

It’s going to be 70+ degrees and sunny tomorrow, and there are ten incredible shows, raves, dance parties and festivals going down over the next three days

Hey, it’s in the 60s this weekend. No rain – just sunny skies until late. So get the heck out of your crib and go to these music shows. Spring is officially ours. #10 Dances, Tiny Hazard, afraid of bees, Half Waif @ Palisades (FRI 7:30PM, $7) 906 Broadway, Bushwick It’s a Brooklyn band orgy […]

It’s not necessarily the worst outside yet, but it’s not fun

It’s cold outside

CMJ only seems like a drag if a) you’re in a band that’s playing 3+ shows; b) you don’t know how to navigate the madness

The first weekend of October was perfect for the return of Greenpoint Open Studios after a three year long break—a quintessential autumn weekend, the air was brisk, but the sun was shining

People often say that fall is bitter sweet

Before we depart on a journey into the depths of the soul of a Bushwick loving celebrity, I would like to note that, naturally we don’t care about any of this

In case you were unaware of this gem, David Bowie and Mick Jagger covered “Dancing in the Streets,” back in their hay day, and it seems pretty representative of what everyone should do this weekend

Ok, so if there was any doubt left in anyone’s mind, summer is officially here — in full force. All around the neighborhood there are scenes of people attempting to install their window AC units without letting them plummet three stories; scantily-clad guys and girls trying to wear as little as they can get away with; […]

Inside Finback Brewery (All photos by Bart Koscinski for Bushwick Daily). New York summer madness seems to have gotten the best of me, so this is my first column in a couple of weeks. But hopefully I’ve got things under control now and will be sharing biweekly beer things with you again. A few weeks […]

Meryl Meisler’s ‘A Tale of Two Cities: Disco Era Bushwick’ (Image courtesy of Meryl Meisler) At the end of a very festive and blissfully summery weekend the folks at Bizarre were ready to celebrate the end of Bushwick Open Studios with as many bangs as possible. Madame Vivien V hosted a hilarious and vivacious set of lip-synching performances to the hoots […]

Only in New York are we lucky enough to sort through bushels of free shows each weekend

From celebrating Passover to remembering that’s it’s Easter to rejoicing that spring has finally arrived and then having snow /hail/sleet in the middle of the week, we all need a little break this weekend. Luck for us, it’s the most important holiday of all: 4/20. And let’s not forget Record Store Day precedes it groovily […]

What’s the shittiest or strangest job you ever had to do?

As you may know, Bushwick Daily is heading down to SXSW! We’ve already filled you in on our 10 Bands That Will Break Big at the festival this year, provided a how-to guide for fans flocking to Austin, and even put together some  festival fashion recommendations! We won’t feel too far from home in the Lone Star State since we’ll be in the good company; tons of great Bushwick bands will be present, playing their hearts out all across town

So, the Olympics are over, with the USA ranking 4th in over all medals, but first in Gold medal pranks with another gem from Jimmy Kimmel

This week’s Listening Party features dream pop drippers The Stargazer Lillies

Are you finally thawing out after the Polar Vortex did its worst and finding yourself in need of a reason to wear something other than multiple pairs of longjohns and a balaclava? We’re looking at a great weekend in Bushwick (more on that in tomorrow’s weekend guide), and we’re eager to start it off right

Welcome to 2014!  We hope  you’re sticking to your resolutions this year! 2014 will not be like last year, the year before, or the year before that one

How does one move forward in life when there is tragedy? Our neighborhood has been struck with

Much in the same spirit of Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In movement or comedian Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls at the Party (SGATP), four Brooklyn and upstate New York-based women are also celebrating women

Who needs Central Park when you have Maria Hernandez Park? Shopping at dollar stores on Knickerbocker Ave, scenic walks on Johnson Ave and romantic counting of rats on the tracks of the L train

So in this FIRST EVER edition of Urban Outfitters or Jimmy Jazz?, we’re gonna tackle this spring’s current fashion, and just how cheap we can get it from my absolute favorite Knickerbocker and Broadway chain store, Rainbow

What can I say about the re-vamped XPO 929 that I couldn’t say about the former Party Expo?  Well, there’s a chandelier
