I pretty much never go out at this stage in the game, so when I do I’m always happy to have a good experience, or least find a cool spot. On Saturday night I was introduced to a true NYC Gem by my brother-in-law, and it wound up being one of the coolest places I’ve ever been to. The place...

Got this email from my friend just now, had to pass it along. Friday night I went to see this dj Gilles Peterson in Brooklyn. It was so dope. One of those nights where you thank your stars you’re living in a city with good music. He played a lot of old soul stuff from his famous crate digging,...

Being that I live in the greatest city in the world, that also happens to be a Mecca for fine cuisine, I try and make it a point to document any restaurant that I feel is worth documenting. As I set out on my path of gluttony, I constantly consider all of my readers both near and far and feel obligated...

On Saturday, the wife and I took our friend Christine from Candy Apple Jewelry out for a happy birthday/”thanks for doing my CMG logo” dinner, and we settled on an old favorite of ours: Republic. Located in New York’s famed Union Square, the restaurant is a hip noodle joint, who’s...

For the last 5 years or so, I’ve almost known Mike D.   On more than one occasion a party flyer hosted by the “Delfin Brothers” would some how find it’s way into my life, but as a bit of a home body, I’m not sure I ever attended. I’ve hung out with his brother Benny on numerous occasions,...

One of the things my wife and I look forward to every fall is the arrival of the “Smiling Pumpkin Ale” at NY’s Heartland Brewery. Last night we made our annual pilgrimage, and it was so good that I had to let all my peeps know what was what. Heartland is a rarity in NYC, as it is...

I had the pleasure of meeting JK5 after searching the NYC tattoo world for an artist that could do a mean script, for a piece that was very personal and meaningful to me: “Clarity.” Upon first meeting, I couldn’t believe how incredibly friendly he was, as I had never met a tattoo artist...

Best song of the year, from the the best rap album in years. No matter how much they beat this song into my head, I just can’t get tired of it. Maybe its because I live in Neeeeeew Yooooooork. Enjoy.

Maybe you need to live in the New York City area to fully appreciate the hilarity of this clip, or perhaps this phenomenom can be found in other states…who knows??! Either way, I found this to be worth a laugh and pretty accurate…LOVED the myspace photo shoot commentary. Can you say, hit...

On a beautiful night in NYC last night, the wife and I decided to hit up one of our FAVORITE places for a whole ‘lotta food, for not a whole ‘lotta money. While at dinner, I realized it wouldn’t be right unless I told the world about this palace of wonderment. So I present to you all...
