Spring has sprung, and like in the movie Shawshank Redemption, we are free (and doused by a lot of rain this week)! Let’s make the most of it. There are a myriad of places to keep you in budget, buzzed, and get that little cardio going to help with the winter bulge. Here are you top […]

Are you PUMPED that it’s finally getting warm? Yeah, maybe it’s a little rainy, but that’s all part of spring on the upswing. What better way to rally in the gorgeous weather than to rock out at some rad shows?! We’ve crafted a list featuring a couple really great free concerts balanced out by some slightly […]

Everything seems to be going full speed in life lately. The days are longer, but they go by faster and there’s more to be done. Ferris Bueller said it right when he quipped, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” So, taking heed […]

Get ready, because this weekend is about to get fabulous! We have 10 ass-kicking shows for you to choose from for an enhanced musical weekend experience

I was reminiscing on my favorite poem earlier this week—Robert Frost’s Birches, in which he claims, “I’d like to get away from earth awhile, and then come back to it and begin over… Earth’s the right place for love: I don’t know where it’s likely to go better.” And with Valentine’s Day coming up, my […]

Ok, so we know its cold

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

Going home for the Holidays always seems like a good idea

Haven’t left for the holidays yet? Staying in town for the strangely warm holiday week ahead? Thank goodness! There’s a long list of great shows to choose from this weekend

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

Have the post-Halloween blues got you down? Still feeling burnt out from last night’s spooky celebrations? Not a chance! Halloween was just the beginning; the weekend is upon us, so don’t stop now! (Plus, we need to work off all those Reese’s Pieces.) Starting Friday night, keep the festivities going with Grooms, Au Revoir Simone, […]

While ghouls and goblins might be a wanderin’ this weekend, several art galleries have decided to brave the frightening atmosphere to host their openings.  From a Friday night performance, Saturday night openings, and even a reception brunch on Sunday, these events will have you traipsing around the entire weekend – and maybe give you another […]

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 […]

This weekend’s art events offer a little something for everyone

You may have heard the news, you may have seen the posters, or you may not have

It’s pretty much felt like fall ever since we pulled those jackets out from the back of our closets sometime in mid-August

Most of you are probably already aware that New York’s favorite disgruntled art critic, Jerry Saltz, spent last Sunday afternoon checking out the Bushwick gallery scene

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?)

Back-to-School? Pshhh

Summer’s supposed to be ending

Wipe your glasses clean of that foggy rain, slip on a raincoat, grab a friend and carve your way to these shows this weekend

This city can put oneself into a tailspin of negativity

It’s getting to that time of the year where great shows are happening every day of the week

This weekend is going to be bonkers

Sometimes by the time the end of the week rolls around, you want to get it

It’s that time of the week again you say? Time to find out about all of the incredible live music this neighborhood, borough and far-stretching city has to offer? Well, we won’t send you too far, but we can’t speak to where the music might take your ears

It’s always difficult to decide on the best 5-10 shows to feature for our weekly recommended shows column

You just realized it’s Friday and you’re wondering what to do tonight

You’ve barely recovered from the all night wandering between Bushwick art spaces during Beat Nite, and now there’s another art-exploding weekend ahead of us! Brace yourself, Bushwick art lovers, because we have some seriously excellent shows coming up on Friday and Saturday
