A historically gnarly stretch of Wyckoff Avenue that lies along the border of Brooklyn and Queens next to the Myrtle-Wyckoff station on the L and M subway lines is slated to become a pedestrian plaza, and the Department of Transportation will be seeking Bushwick’s help planning it at two upcoming public events

L trains were not running between 8th Ave and Myrtle-Wyckoff Aves Tuesday evening after an individual was hit by a train at the Montrose Avenue stop in East Williamsburg

A television show based on a Bradley Cooper-helmed film about a super successful superhuman returned to Bushwick this week for its second shoot in the neighborhood

A former coffee shop turned fine dining restaurant? Say it ain’t so.

This past Sunday, March 20th, was the official first day of Spring! The bar and restaurant scene of Bushwick is ever-changing, growing, and evolving, and this winter was a big season for that: now that the spring season is officially here and warmer days are imminent, let’s take a look back and see what new places opened this winter—they may well turn out to be your spring and summertime go-to spots

Before “affordable housing” became a politically charged buzzword, it must have once seemed like a laughable redundancy

The Starliner, the newest bar located off Myrtle-Wyckoff is about to be your new favorite local bar

Ever wanted to drink by a fireside, but didn’t have the money to rent out a cabin with your friends? Now you don’t have to go very far to get that comfy, cozy experience

Bushwick residents relying on the L train to get them places have been again disappointed this morning

If you regularly pass the giant carwash called Wow at the corner of Flushing and Knickerbocker Ave in Bushwick, you should know that it will soon no longer be part of your commute

“I heard we are the best bakery opposite a White Castle!” jokes Gus Reckel, the owner of the newly opened L’imprimerie (1524 Myrtle Ave) on their Instagram account. The French café and bakery opened on June 1 and it shares the pleasant whines of the elevated M train with the fast food chain. “We want people to come here […]

“You can dish it out but you can’t take it,” we’ve all heard the saying at least once in our life

Don’t let anyone tell you it’s creepy; people-watching is every New Yorker’s birthright

Attention Bushwick Vietnamese food lovers! We have a newcomer on the scene!

1673 Gates Ave

Let’s face it—the citizens of Bushwick don’t live in a bubble

Do you ever look at stylish people on the subway and wonder what they’re listening to? We do–so naturally, we hit the stations and asked on your behalf–just in time for New York Fashion Week! Do you think you would have guessed these tunes?

Before you snap a photo of that stranger, pause for a second.

Bryan Quackenbush and his ace bartender. All photos by Gustavo Ponce for Bushwick Daily. A new watering hole has just opened, breathing a little more life into the corner of Wyckoff and Menahan Aves. Old Stanley’s is “an everyman’s bar….no pretentious bullshit,” said Bryan Quackenbush (yes, that’s the real name), one of the owners. He’s […]

Finally, the gods have answered our prayers

All photos by Maria Gotay for Bushwick Daily The neighborhood is changing. Often for better, sometimes for worse. For every narrow coffee shop with divine breakfast sandwiches, for every Scotch egg, for every craft beer that makes the Bushwick rounds: another neighborhood stalwart closes its eyes for the last time. Goodbye Blue Monday has been […]

I think the only thing that makes me more aggravated than technology (don’t get me started on the jammed “lock” button on my cellphone) may be the MTA subway–I am especially looking at you L and M (J train wins “Train of the Year” by default because it consistently actually shows up

This week L is for Ludicrous (no, don’t get excited, not Ludacris, although I do love you Luda!) because quite frankly the Bushwick trains can just be so ridiculous and foolish sometimes

Screen shot of Vogue.com Oh Girls, it’s all about Girls. Whether you like it or not, Lena Dunham beat you to being the voice of this generation (Do you remember the first episode of the first season when Hannah, high on opium tea, visits her parents’ hotel room?). And with the third season having just […]

Looks like the L train will never be “normal” and will continue to confuse us with its really random service changes and interruptions

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

While looking at the L train’s service for this upcoming weekend I can hardly believe my eyes – the L train, according to mta

That’s right – much to your disbelief this week I come bearing you some good news (don’t get too excited, I am saving the bad news for last)

Oh, L train. Back on that September afternoon when I first heard of your laundry list of future service changes I have to admit that I never thought it would really last this long. Our rocky relationship has now spanned almost two months and we have been through it all – delays caused by track […]

Brace yourselves, kids

After this weekend’s miraculous temporary return of the L train, the MTA’s said the L train will be out of service between Lorimer and Myrtle-Wyckoff for at least another two weekends, meaning more crowded shuttle buses for residents — and more lost business for stores, restaurants and galleries
