Rosamunde Sausage Grill is closing this Sunday

September 13, 2017 By Robert Lanham

Rosamunde Sausage Grill is closing this Sunday

The San Fran-based sausage joint on Williamsburg’s southside opened five years ago to much buzz, but never really seemed to blow up the way people expected it would. Sure, there are many local admirers, but personally we’d rather go to Radegast Hall when we have a craving for sausage. You have until Sunday to give […]

From Eater: [The Heyward] was known for South Carolina dishes like a hoppin’ John, shrimp and grits, and a ridiculous but highly regarded breakfast sandwich that featured […]

Shi*t! F*ck! Dammit! Now The Acheron is closing

June 21, 2016 By Robert Lanham

Last week, we found out we were losing Grand Victory and possibly Secret Project Robot and Palisades. Now Acheron is shutting down its backroom and will no longer be hosting shows. In another week, the only place you’ll be able to see music is the Best Buy Theater in Times Square.
