A two-story laser cat threw a party in Williamsburg last night
Just another day in Williamsburg, only with a two-story, inflatable laser cat care of the artist collection Hungry Castle. This all went down in a lot on Havemeyer street last night: The Laser Cat experience goes like this: * Someone gets on stage and pushes the big red panic button; * The overly familiar dance song […]
Ridgewood is the new Bushwick which was formerly the new Williamsburg
Well you knew this was coming. The Times discovers Ridgewood. “Artsy types in their 20s and 30s, wearing hoodies and black-frame glasses” are invading Ridgewood. (The ban on saying “hipsters” seems to continue.) Evidently, Quooklyn is filling up with dudes who dance like the guy pictured above, “boozy revelers in cutoffs and ’90s basketball jerseys,” and […]
Here's the 'Judgmental Map of Williamsburg'
The latest in Will Nunziata‘s Judgmental Maps series features a judgmental map of Williamsburg. The map has everything the bros of the North 12th area to the ‘Average Diner’ (Kellogg’s) on Union and Metropolitan. Fairly accurate? – @joshmorrissey

And just like that Bushwick became a little bit dumber: East Williamsburg and Bushwick locals will soon have a place to play Spin the Bottle — all day and all night. Amancay’s Diner, a 24-hour restaurant and music venue, is set to open at 2 […]
Hipster molting season is here again
Inside the sober rave in Williamsburg
Thanks to Gothamist for doing the leg work. There’s just no way we could take sober dancing and animal masks at 6:30 AM. A $20 ticket to Morning Gloryville gets you the following: three hugs upon entry (one from each of the Morning Gloryville crew), a plastic lei, and three and a half hours of […]
Meet Kalan, the nihilist, anarchist subway performer and puppeteer
Oh, did we mention he “make things out of garbage and dead animals” and that his act is about “non-narrative” “literary theory.” Meet Kalan: Kalan leaves us longing for simpler times when Club Animals (the pervy, platform plushies) were giving free bouncy rides on their laps:
Hipster olds are invading your precious Brooklyn
Old people: what won’t they ruin? As if ushering George W. Bush into office (twice), bankrupting Social Security, and racking up so much goddamn debt that most young people will work until the day we die to pay it off weren’t enough, old people are now literally invading our turf. Sonja Sharp of the New […]
