This weekend’s art openings remind me of the lost art of handwriting

Earlier this year, we lost Goodbye Blue Monday (GBM), a staple of the local music and dive scene in Bushwick for nine years

After starting the popular pop-up “Burger Babes” in Shanghai, China, Phoebe Tran and Rénel Sun moved to Bushwick for the summer to open UMi Bushwick

Known for her blog, journalistic writing and urban skater-meets-ladylike style, Apneet is a true creative force

Bushwick is the kind of place where love frequently blossoms into a creative partnership and vice versa

If you were looking for a theme, you won’t find one here. This weekend’s art openings are all over the place, and the artists come from all over too. Microscope’s Allison Somers is in town from Paris, Fine & Raw showcases Berlin-based artist Jerry Kowalsky and Outlet brings us Cristin Richard in from Detroit. Some artists take on loss, desire, accident, intent, others […]

When Jen Charboneau and Bernard McNerney met as ESL teachers in South Korea, they had no idea that they would someday finish a 12,000-mile trip to promote community-driven art through pop-up events across the United States

Alex Ayer captures scenes for his film ‘One: The First Myth’ (Photo courtesy of the artist) Upon a night of neighborhood research I was browsing the Bushwick hashtag on Instagram when rooftop views and drastic landscapes came up on the account of local photographer and filmmaker Alex Ayer. Feeling inspired to learn more about his work I asked if we could […]

Upon initial glance of this weekend’s train service changes the first thing that popped into my mind was Whitesnake’s “Here I Go Again” (I know, random, it has been a long week) but really…here [we] go again on our own: and with a little help from the L train. That is right – this weekend […]

Let’s be honest: We’re sick and tired of the snow

What may be better than a stuffed turkey, homemade cranberry sauce and Thanksgiving pies

Ok, maybe the title of this post is a bit deceiving as it’s not technically Halloween this weekend. But, when a holiday falls on a measley Thursday night, what are you to do?! Celebrate the weekend before AND the weekend after, of course! This year our calendars are full of pre-Halloween parties, especially on Saturday […]

The last thing you’ll ever want to call El Ten Eleven is one the following: A Jam band, Math Rock, Post Rock, Ambient, or Downtempo

2013 marked my fourth year at Burning Man, and also my fourth year attending as a burner traveling from Bushwick

This week children went back to school (yay!), we voted in the primaries for Mayoral candidates of this great city (hey!), honored the sad anniversary of 9/11 (nay), some of us will be fasting for Yom Kippur (oy vey!), and some are anxiously waiting for the next Breaking Bad episode after that very intense episode (amirite?)

Bunna Cafe has become a staple in Brooklyn’s pop-up food shop trend, bringing their mouth-watering Ethiopian food to bars and fairs in Bushwick and beyond

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

The J train stop at Flushing Ave. Waddup Woodhull?? Last week we told you the ways the L train can be triflin‘. In our comments section, readers ended up showing some love for its parallel sister train, the J! Though it has a bad rap, the J/M/Z  train line is actually pretty dope- it runs […]

When I first moved to New York I was excited to discover all the Jazz cafes my former neighbor and jazz musician had told me about

pho·bi·a [foh-bee-uh] a persistent, irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation that leads to a compelling desire to avoid it. ▲▲▲▲▲▲▲ I went camping this last holiday weekend, and as a mode of therapy, I will write about my experience having what seems to be the most severe case of arachnophobia, know to man. I had not thought too much of my paralyzing, irrational fear of our creepy crawly eight legged friends since […]
