Shake it off, commands New York City’s “Global Welcome Ambassador for Tourism,” the completely manufactured Tay Swift

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

Maybe it was that ever present Bushwick vermin

People often say that fall is bitter sweet

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

We hope you aren’t tired of summer festivals yet because this one is also not to be missed! Last year, Out In the Streets included a stellar lineup with Turnip King, Wild Yaks, and Pictureplane and this weekend get ready for another awesome lineup of music with headliners including A Place to Bury Strangers, Body Language, Hunters, as well as Memphis’ Cities Aviv! Bird Dog Productions, The Sky Report, and Supercrush Studio have teamed up to put on this festival at the Onderdonk house in Ridgewood for the second year, and promise us music, art and food! YES!

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

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 […]

It doesn’t matter if you have two left feet or if your white bellbottomed jumpsuit is stuck at the cleaners – you’ll still be able to get into the groove at the Thrift Disco

Ladies and gents of Bushwick, it’s all happening

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

We have a love-hate relationship with Craigslist, the home of the Missed Connection, the Second Hand Ikea Coffee Table, and the The Worst Room

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

The weather is warm! The weather is rainy! You wore too many layers! Your shoe has a hole! You want to drown your sorrows! You want to smoke on the back patio but it’s not open! WAH

Don’t go looking for Tomahawk Salon at The Loom if you woke up in urgent need of Lydia Deetz bangs

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

At the risk of beating a dead horse here, I thought it would be fun and interesting to do a follow-up to the awesome story my colleagues did on five places to get laid in Bushwick

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

Roberta’s Pizza on Moore Street has already earned itself a permanent record in the history of Bushwick (even though it’s technically located in East Williamsburg)

Having too many options is one of the best things about living in New York City

Everyone has at least one horrible online dating story

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

Yes, we all know that Morgan is the stop for the game-changing and Girls-approved brunch at Roberta’s, but what happens when the line is too long and they run out of sticky buns? Luckily, there are a number of other delicious brunch spots nearby that let you have your organic, humanely farmed eggs and eat them, too
