Teens can face an uphill battle when asking to be taken seriously, especially teen girls, who so often come up short when seeking opportunities to be heard in open, insightful, meaningful public dialogue

Secret Project Robot is not a gigantic warehouse that you might imagine to find in other parts of Bushwick, but rather a modest, bar-equipped and almost cozy venue

At CMJ, camaraderie is contagious

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

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

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

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 […]

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?)

The weekend may be looking thunderstorm-laden, but that means nothing for dedicated show-goers but an excuse to your golashes and fill up on Dark’n’stormies (we recommend Tandem’s). Then hit the wet pavement and bask in some light rain on your way to one of these amazing 9 top concerts of the weekend. We’ve got festivals, free shows, “art spaces” and […]

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 […]

Three BD music writers voyaged to SXSW, took a bunch of gorgeous photos, and documented three very different experiences while down there

Ladies and gents of Bushwick, it’s all happening

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

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

Let’s be honest, parenting is neither easy nor for the birds

We love a good female MC, and are lucky enough to live in a city that is home to plenty of them

Well, kids, it is officially May which, for me, stands for margaritas, wearing white and, of course, Bushwick Open Studios! While this event is still a few weeks away, the galleries are already getting ready for it and the neighborhood is literally buzzing with activity

BUSHWICK SAYS

The Fort, located on 28 Locust St, is one of the coolest recording studios we’ve stumbled upon in Bushwick

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

Welcome to Knickerbocker Ave – a Bushwick staple for mass quantities of toilet paper and late night Red Bulls from various bodegas!!! Did you know that Knickerbocker has practical and fashionable finds that won’t damage your wallet? Aside from the designer stores, proximity to Central Park and Trump Towers, it’s basically the 5th Ave of Bushwick
