Just like St. Patrick’s Day, SantaCon is an annual event that attracts a lot of annoying people who commit deplorable acts on the streets of New York City, except they wear red, not green. Yet for some reason, it’s the latter spectacle that turns so many New Yorkers into modern-day Grinches. After it was reported […]
Art shows in Bushwick tend to be one of three types: They either fall into the regurgitated abstract painting/stuff-made-out-of-junk category, the every-once-in-a-while progressive and engaging category, or the free-for-all, “we’re just having fun,” category. Secret Project Robot’s “Headshop” definitively falls into that last designation. But by no means should that be considered second, or even […]
Anyone who’s had the unfortunate coincidence of being in the East Village on a weekend in mid-December over the last few years now has cause to celebrate, because the annual horrible tradition that is SantaCon is leaving Manhattan for Brooklyn, Bushwick Daily reports. Each year, the bros and broettes dress up as Santa Claus, bar […]

After spearheading and popularizing the aesthetic commonly known as “hipster,” Vice moved in to Williamsburg more than a decade ago and rent increases followed with the influx of youth and disposable income. The area was on the rise already with members of the […]

A new gallery show of artists who work in NYC’s subways will open tonight at Bushwick’s Armature Art Space. “Showtime: Underground Arts” will feature at least one artist you probably know from your commute. That guy who cuts portraits out of paper (Ming Liang Lu), that guy who paints subway maps (Edwin Class) and one “It’s showtime!”-shouting dance crew […]
Sometimes a bunch of writers just like to get together and paint. That’s what happened last week as CYCLE (interviewed), DUG, ZIMAD, KING 157, ATOMS, VERS and SIEH collaborated on a production in Bushwick. Click through the gallery above to see all the pieces and if you’re in NYC, you can check them out in […]
Bushwick has a lot of bars. When you open a new bar in Bushwick, you need something to set you apart. And so, the Boobie Trap opened on Bleeker Street earlier this month with just kind of decor that gets peoples attention. It’s covered in boobs. There are boobs everywhere. They have “color my boobs” placemats. The taps are […]
The ever changing legal walls on Siegel and White Streets — along the often disputed borders of Bushwick and Williamsburg in Brooklyn — have undergone another round of painting, featuring elaborate new burners by graffiti artists VOR, SEBS, EWOK, GIZ, DUEL, and LOGEK, among others. This latest round of work was sponsored by Evolve spray […]
“Yung Lean is part of rap’s long tradition of doing it all wrong,” ANIMAL’s Brandon Soderberg wrote about the Swedish internet rap darling a few months ago. Stylistically, maybe, but at Yung Lean’s victory lap show last night in Brooklyn it was clear he’s doing something right. His fans, pastel weed-leaf printed kids out on […]
