Did you know there’s a street in Brooklyn named after Confederate General Robert E. Lee? Improbably enough, it’s true. It’s inside of Fort Hamilton, the National Guard and Army Reserve base located between the Verrazano Bridge and the Dyker Heights Golf Course. This fact was mostly ignored until this week, when in the aftermath of […]
Just across the Hudson in Jersey City there’s a seemingly abandoned auto repair shop covered in graffiti art. Its entire exterior is doused with spray painted characters and letters that appear to explode off the wall in vibrant shapes and colors. And it doesn’t stop there. (Click gallery above to see every piece.) Scores of […]
Rollie-snatching season is in full swing, player. We warned you before. Don’t let your guard down at da club, or even at the pizza place where you go for a slice after you leave da club. Some dude learned that lesson the hard way last Friday when he met a girl at an Artichoke Pizza, […]

Look at these mooks. The WorldStarHipHop video starts in media res, with one stupid man trying to force another man to either move over and let him sit or get up, because there’s only room for one idiot on this little bench. They’re holding the train up, because the conductor wants them to knock it […]
Every comedian has jokes that he or she believes didn’t get the laughs they deserved or tweets that didn’t get enough faves. Defending the Bomb gives a comedian the opportunity to explain one of these failed jokes and make the case for why it’s actually funny. Julio Torres is a rising star in the New […]
It would be nice to be able to retire in a condo or sweet penthouse apartment in New York City, but unless you are the super super rich, sorry, that’s probably not going to happen. In a rental economy, half of us are dumping more than a third of our income into our rent as […]
The Stonewall Inn was bestowed with individual landmark status by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission on Tuesday, becoming the first place designated a landmark primarily due to its importance in LGBT history, which also means that New York City officially (if tacitly) acknowledges that fighting back against the police can have a significant […]
