There’s a gallery inside a storage unit in East Williamsburg called Secret Dungeon

There’s a gallery inside a storage unit in East Williamsburg called Secret Dungeon

Speakeasy’s and micro-spaces are big in North Brooklyn right now. Secret Dungeon is the latest — a hard-to-find micro-gallery inside a storage bin in industrial East Williamsburg. Secret Dungeon is the brainchild of 11 artists whose mission, according to member and photographer Greg Gentert, is to present “exceptional programming in an unexceptional space.”… Cardboard arrows […]

Mood Ring – an astrology-themed bar is coming to Bushwick next month

Mood Ring will open at 1260 Myrtle Ave some time in September. In addition to drinks inspired by the signs of the Zodiac, a small Chinese menu will be served: Co-owners Bowen Goh and Vanessa Li — a Gemini and Scorpio respectively — plan to serve a rotating cocktail list highlighting the current zodiac sign, according to Bushwick Daily. They […]

House of Yes

May 24, 2017 By Free Williamsburg

House of Yes

A spacious venue in Bushwick that features aerial performances, burlesque, live music, circus, theater, and cabaret performances in the former home of an ice warehouse. They also serve Moroccan & Middle Eastern food until 11pm most nights at their adjacent cafe Queen of Falafel. We recommend the Middle Eastern Plate (hummus, falafel, tahini, arabic salad, roasted eggplant & labne) which is a bargain at $12. Still, House of Yes is more about its performances and dance parties so be sure to check their calendar before arriving. On weekends they serve brunch from 11am-4pm.

  • Part Burning Man, part burlesque, and totally glitter-queer, this gorgeous, roomy bar combines great cocktails with a roomy performance venue. The Bushwick hot spot offers a dazzling array of events, from sweaty dance parties, bingo, bottomless brunch, and even an amateur burlesque night. Oh, yeah, and there’s a delicious Middle Eastern café, too.

  • This wild Bushwick spot opened in 2016 and quickly established itself as a reliable way for Brooklyn revelers to wear insane costumes and lose their inhibitions just about every weekend. With exhibitionist parties like “House of Love” and the immersive “Little Cinema” film tributes, along with a panoply of aerialists, magicians and dancers on retainer, House of Yes is constantly inventing new ways to make a night out more than just drinks at the bar.

Brooklyn Barge Bar opens Thursday, plus the city proposes opening a bar in Transmitter Park

Brooklyn Barge Bar opens Thursday, plus the city proposes opening a bar in Transmitter Park

Our favorite spot to take in a summer sunset, Brooklyn Barge Bar, is opening tomorrow. The floating barge has a full bar with picnic table seating on the land as well. They haven’t posted a 2017 menu yet, but we assume it will include many of the staples they served last year like burgers, peel-and-eat […]

Secret Project Robot reopening in Bushwick with a party on May 4

And with the untimely demise of Shea Stadium, we’re happy to hear the news. The new location for Secret Project Robot is at 1186 Broadway in Bushwick, two blocks from the Kosciuszko Street J train stop. In addition to live music, performance, art installation and more, they will have a permanent bar called Cuckoo that […]

Kosciuszko Bridge opens tomorrow with a light show

The new cable-stayed bridge, which connects Greenpoint Brooklyn to Maspeth Queens opens tomorrow with a light show. Though it probably won’t be as awesome as a Led Zeppelin laser light show, we’re still pretty excited. Governor Cuomo will host the ceremony of lights at 7pm: Cuomo is planning to host a party at 7 p.m. […]

Authorities release suspects in alleged Greenpoint rape due to “inconsistencies” in victim’s account

Authorities release suspects in alleged Greenpoint rape due to “inconsistencies” in victim’s account

We were horrified to hear about the alleged rape that occurred Monday in Greenpoint in broad daylight. Police initially detained two suspects, but have since released them: Police declined to charge two men detained for raping a woman in a portable restroom Monday afternoon because of “a lot inconsistencies” in the woman’s account, the NYPD […]

Cafe Mogador

April 24, 2017 By Free Williamsburg

Cafe Mogador

An American cafe on the quieter end of Bedford Ave great for a casual, low-key meal. Rabbithole is not a “destination” restaurant and that’s a good thing when you want a reliably good brunch or an unpretentious dinner spot. The Lamb Burger is popular as is the Homemade Potato Gnocci with Wild Mushrooms. They have a small garden for outdoor dining in the warmer months.

  • “Everything is delicious” at these “popular” Moroccan “standbys” that are especially known for their “unbeatable” brunches; “tight seating” and “long waits” are part of the deal, but “gentle prices” help, and Williamsburg’s “cute indoor garden” is especially “charming.”

  • It’s a casual place serving Moroccan/Israeli food, although they do a more-or-less standard breakfast and brunch. Weekends get slammed, however, so expect a wait for brunch and dinner. And try to sit in the greenhouse-like area out back. It’s a good place to eat a chicken stew with couscous.

Restaurant roundup: Chez Ma Tante opening soon, Fornino expands, The Gentry serving 13 poutines

South Williamsburg’s Cow and Clover never really caught on and closed shop in late March. The good news is they’ve decided to partner with the popular pizza joint Fornino. Plans are in motion to open a new branch of the mini-chain in the space at 291 Kent Ave this month with a larger menu: Those […]
