From the “this is why we can’t have nice things in Greenpoint” file.
Eat, the Meserole Ave joint that is most famous for the concept of silent Sunday dinners is, for one night only (we hope) adding what eating in utter quiet has always missed: YOGA.
On Monday, December 16, Eat in Greenpoint will host a special dinner for people that like yoga, vegetarian food, and complete silence. The creators of the Sunday night silent dinners are teaming up with Pop Up Yoga NYC and Imagination Space for the event, which will take place entirely inside the tiny restaurant. [Read more...]

The rumors we have been hearing for the past month are true. Los Angeles Times confirms Sriracha shipping is halted for 30 days by state regulators.

Vendors and patrons beware! Diarrhea Planet — ugh, that really, stupid, dumb name — headlines the Brooklyn Night Bazaar on Saturday.
The six piece band shreds with four guitars and has been known to elicit elbow-busting mosh pits. Interesting entertainment for patrons pursuing through hand crafted jewelry and vintage windbreakers. Despite the juvenile moniker, this punk band from Nashville rocks. Also on the line up: Pulring Hiss, Big Ups and Manors. Do yourself a favor – take a Tums and head over to Banker Street Saturday. You won’t want to miss this show.

Days after a man was fatally stabbed outside a South Williamsburg Mexican restaurant, police released a photo of a suspect wearing a cowboy hat.
The 44-year-old victim, identified by relatives as Enrique “Mauricio” Martinez, was found with stab wounds to his torso outside Zocalo, at 295 Broadway, about 5 a.m. Dec. 7. He was pronounced dead at Woodhull Hospital, the NYPD said.
“I saw it happen,” said a man who claimed to be Martinez’s cousin. “[Martinez] was trying to get in his car to get away.”
The suspect, who is about 5-foot-7 and 230 pounds, was last seen sporting a mustache and wearing a light-colored cowboy hat, according to police.

Talk about a blast from the past. It’s been 15 years since their last.
The last time Cibo Matto released an album, it was 1999′s Stereo Type A. Then, they went on a long hiatus before returning for some reunion dates a couple years ago. Now, Miho Hatori and Yuka C. Honda are returning with a new LP called Hotel Valentine. It’s out February 14 via Chimera Music.
Their first offering from the album is “MFN”, which features Reggie Watts. It’s got a colorful, spastic video by Georgia. Check it out below.
