Torrential Downpour of Laughter_Brooklyn Comedy Festival Poster_Geoff Pomella We’re all in need for some laughs lately; The world seems to be falling apart in many different ways. On the lighter side, there will always be laughter to brighten our days, and thankfully the Second Annual Brooklyn Comedy Festival starts today! The BCF was founded and organized by performers and producers […]

With art and creativity bursting from the seams in our neighborhood of Bushwick, finding something to do on a Friday night may seem a bit overwhelming

Frieze New York – and all the posse fairs that come with it – is upon us! But why should Randall’s Island have all the fun? This weekend, many Bushwick galleries will be open late on Saturday to celebrate the week’s special devotion to the art world

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

It’s been almost five months since denizens of the city’s creatively entrepreneurial set would trek several blocks east from the Morgan L stop to head to the 3rd Ward space at 195 Morgan Avenue in East Williamsburg, to take classes ranging from stop-motion animation to jewelry design

Dear Bushwick has been a neighborhood hit since they first opened their doors on Wilson Ave in the fall of 2012 and introduced us to a classy modern version of British pub food, (hold the mushy peas)!  Perhaps there is no better reflection of the British joint done on New York soil of than their taplist, which currently features malty brews from the cosmopolitan epicenters on both sides of the pond: the Coffee Porter from Meantime, a brewery based in London, and ERIC More Cowbell! Chocolate Milk Stout from SingleCut, a small Queens-based craft brewery

Ridgewood, Bushwick’s favorite sister neighborhood, has been quite busy with many friendly events lately

When Nyssa Frank, owner of the Living Gallery, noticed that Bushwick bookstores were cropping up like dandelions (Mellow Pages, Molasses, and Human Relations, to name a few) she began to wonder how best to bring these very different bookstores into conversation with one another

Sometimes you walk around Bushwick and you know where you are going

Bookworms rejoice! Mellow Pages, a new library and reading room in Bushwick, will open its doors on Thursday, February 21 at 7PM with beers and impromptu readings

So you spent Valentines Day single? You blacked out on Memorial Day? You were under the thumb on Independence Day? Sounds like it might be time to start celebrating holidays correctly

Last weekend was one for the record books

The gallery of The Active Space is large and unusual

NEW YEARS EVE! NEW YEARS EVE! I’d chant it from the Empire State Building if only they wouldn’t handcuff me and take me somewhere not as bright and sparkly
