It’s that time again! America’s Birthday; another great reason to have outdoor shows, BBQ everything in sight and celebrate for the entire four days whether or not you have any patriotism in your bones

Just hangin’ at The Neverlands. “Because it’s Northside!” More or less, the phrase became a mantra of sorts over this past weekend, when the multi-venue Northside Festival enveloped Brooklyn for the sixth year in a row. As I, Loren, your trusty narrator, chased bands around Williamsburg, Bushwick, and everywhere in between, the sentence was repeated […]

Remember when the Girls took to Bushwick to rage out in a warehouse and (accidentally) smoke crack? Well, that’s not the route we recommend you go this weeken–maybe instead grab a 5-hour energy to get your fix as you hop around art shows by day and hit the rock and roll by night! Not all these shows are tied in with Bushwick Open Studios, but they will all be mega-fun and nothing like the gif above (hopefully?)

[contextly_auto_sidebar id=”dN8fROFYJAemosL3KkZKvVIwUAfhxNWH”] While there are still ridiculously cold days, we can all be thankful that spring is (mostly) here and finally we can party outdoors… or continue to hang indoors, thankful we can do so without giant coats.  We can potentially start our hangouts earlier and possibly outdoors, and maybe even have a backyard BBQ. […]

All photos by Lucia Reed for Bushwick Daily On a recent rainy Sunday, I bundled up and hustled across Bushwick. I was coming from a meeting with the owner of Bootleg Bar, which just opened up on Myrtle and Bleeker, and I was rushing to a panel on affordable housing being held at Radio Bushwick. […]

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 […]

SXSW may be fading into our rearview mirror but the hangover that came along with it isn’t
