It was a sad day this summer when beloved punk venue The Acheron closed—but there’s still plenty to do at the former address of the East Williamsburg punk hub.

Remember Trash Bar? The divey-est of dive bars, the rock ‘n’ roll music venue in South Williamsburg with walls covered in stickers and lined with old car chair seats, and a bathroom that smelled unmistakably of piss? And remember mourning it when it closed last summer?

With local events such as Exploding in Sound’s CMJ Showcase on Friday at Palisades, AdHoc’s Car Wash show off Lorimer on Saturday, a sprinkling of new art shows around the neighborhood, and the opening up of a bunch of new coffee shops (such as Dweebs), the list of fun things to do this weekend is certainly long

NY Fashion Week may be ending on Thursday, September 17 but it will be going on through Friday right here in Bushwick!

For those living off the Montrose L stop, the local food selection had been mostly of the ‘fast’ variety, relegating fine dining to Bushwick or Williamsburg joints

As New Yorkers, we can often feel like we’ve cornered the market on brunch – although other cities may think the veracity of that statement is up for debate

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
