Lorenzo’s. Photo via @liamblank We’re not going to lie, summer in Bushwick was freakin’ awesome – outdoor concert venues, stellar watering holes, Michelin-worthy restaurants – but it’s time to welcome in a new season filled with itchy sweaters, gold-hued leaves, and some amazing new restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and juice places in Bushwick. From cultish […]

Have you been yawning about all the bar openings in Bushwick while yearning for some place healthy for a change? Newly open Pitanga (207 Starr St) will make you very happy

Our Wicked Lady is quickly making a name for itself thanks to a rotating line up of awesome DJs, knowledgeable bartenders, and a newly opened massive rooftop (perhaps the holy trinity of bars? I digress

The area behind The Bodega Bar, which previously housed food truck The Diggs, is being transformed into an oasis filled with Brooklyn food and drink vendors, The Patio del Gato

Known for his satiating late night burgers, chef Galen Duncan is bringing a new treat to Bushwick — the handpie

Sandwiched between Gua-cu-co Hot Dogs and The Sampler Bushwick sits a new Italian eatery, Pasta Bistrot

Should we call it an end of an era or just a natural flow of life?

It’s funny how something as simple as sea salt can turn any treat into something even more indulgent

A bar? A venue? A… backyard? The simplicity behind Nowadays, the new outdoor space off the Halsey L on Ridgewood-Bushwick border, means it can be all that and more. All winter this California girl dreamt about summer, and now, it’s finally arrived. As it turns out, my dreams of BBQs and beach days, short shorts and […]

Have you walked past that closed down bar in Ridgewood on Harman St and Seneca Ave with the crazy neon signs and the blacked out windows thinking someone needs to do something with this place? You will thrilled to learn that hey, someone’s doing something with this place! Ridgewood resident, bartendress, and musician Laura Regan is fulfilling a longtime dream to finally open her own venue

Yes, finally, after two years of waiting impatiently for a show in Bushwick that features a “human chandelier,” the brand new (and not quite finished) House Of Yes is having an open house this Saturday, June 6, from 6 to 8 p

The literal translation for the German word Bierleichen is beer corpse

March is barely over, the spring has started only a couple of days ago, yet Bushwick has been extremely busy with renovations, remodelling and tasting

Bill Meier, or Bilthy, as he was known to friends passed away on February 1st after hospitalization due to an illness

A Belgian IPA served on draft at the monk All Photos by Lucia Reed for Bushwick Daily Something about Ridgewood brings me back to earlier–dare I say simpler–times. It’s easy to imagine the storefronts along Fresh Pond Road as they looked decades ago–they probably haven’t changed too much since. And that’s why the monk, a […]

Yesterday we informed you that the infamous annual bar crawl SantaCon has sent a letter to Bushwick bars announcing that this year’s drunk fest will be held in Bushwick on December 13

Whew, what a whirlwind summer! For those of you who managed to escape the concrete clutches of the city for a few months, the neighborhood might seem a little different now. There’s about a bazillion new places to get sloshed, and most of them serve food, too. Unfortunately, this summer also saw the demise of […]

We couldn’t believe it either

The sun is out and you should be too this Saturday, June 21st, for an amazing FREE one-day festival called Make Music New York

Your last name doesn’t have to be Johnson in order to feel welcomed at this new Bushwick bar

As the neighborhood swells, flush with deliciousness and boozy evenings, decisions about where to eat and drink have gotten exponentially more challenging

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

A little further out and a quick hop to the JMZ line, and the available nightlife starts to expand beyond the typical Brooklyn dive bars

Now that we’re a bit deeper into Bushwick, it takes a little more work (and a little more walking) to reach great bars

Since we “celebrated” Presidents Day last weekend by making a few bad decisions Sunday night and skipping work on Monday, this week’s Drink & Ride takes us to the aptly named Jefferson stop

Bizarre, a new French night club in Bushwick, opened one month ago with a three-day festival

Whether you’ve jumped the turnstiles (not recommended, but we get it) or pony’d up for one last $104 monthly MetroCard before the fare hikes in March, the next L stop on this Drink & Ride gets you to Morgan – previously only a name you associated with girls who played high school field hockey

Sometimes it seems like our whole live revolves around the L train – a harrowing fact considering most of us have either been cursed out by a sassy teenage girl or seen someone strip down to their skivvies during the long commute home

It’s a paradox, but maybe blogging about Bushwick makes you not realize all the changes that happen right in front of your eyes

Candles, welcoming neon sign, tall windows, classy interior…That’s a new bar that opened less than 3 weeks ago at 101 Wilson Ave in Bushwick
