Restaurant roundup: Cozinha Latina, Cassette, and Whiskey Burger now open in Greenpoint

October 16, 2015 By Robert Lanham

The Brazilian-inspired Cozinha Latina opened this week in the former Red Star space inside the Pencil Factory building. We miss the wings at Red Star already! That said Cozinha Latina looks promising: Shanna Pacifico earned her nose-to-tail bona fides under Peter Hoffman at Savoy and Back Forty, where she butchered whole animals in the basement. […]

Here's A Site Like Kickstarter, Minus The Worthwhile Projects

June 21, 2012 By Max Kutner

Last week we told you about a group using Kickstarter to help fund a major city art project. But if you want to give your hard earned dollar to simpler causes – like buying someone 50 lunches – then check out Indiegogo. The site seems to have blown up over night thanks to blogs jumping […]

Ad Hoc Kick Starts!

February 3, 2012 By Briana Cheng

It’s a blog eat blog world. That said, one of the dominating music blogs on the internet is no doubt, Pitchfork. But if you’re anything into indie music, you probably reaped over the discontinuation of Altered Zones. Altered Zones branched off of Pitchfork, featuring the most underground music. Basically, the ones that weren’t big enough […]

July 29, 2011 By Jackie Snow

There are apparently still unexplored frontiers in the mobile food movement. Benjamin Harrison is trying to fund a bitter-infused seltzer drinks cart, which would be serving up drinks in the ‘burg.

floating pool on the east river?

June 16, 2011 By Emily Lichtenberg

Could this be real? First and foremost you should probably listen to THIS while reading this post…you know, for “atmosphere.” Both Curbed and the Village Voice have reported  that  the ever mysterious “+Pool” project is an actual possibility.  +Pool is probably the coolest (literally) and most summer useful projects to date: the pool (in the […]
