Some could say that previous New York MOOKS Reporter, Unemployed Lloyd is what you call a ”genius.” Genius in the sense that he has managed to get by for the past ten years, in one of the most expensive cities in the world, on little to no money. If you’ve ever been to New York City and seen the price of housing for anywhere remotely considered not in the sticks, you’ll realize that this in itself is a fine art.
Walk down 7th Avenue until you are smack bang in between 2nd and 1st streets in Brooklyn and you’ll stumble across the school P.S. 321. Weather permitting, all year round on both Saturday and Sunday, you’ll also find the sellers at the Park Slope Flea Market offering their range of clothing, furniture, records and other miscellaneous bric-a-brac in the school’s yard, amongst climbing frames and other playground favourites.
The last installment of the New York MOOKS Report restaurant review featured the gloriously grease-embracing soul food cuisine of Pies-N-Thighs. This time we visit another fellow finger licking establishment, Fette Sau, where BBQ is big and meat is king.
Thousands of bands, even more wristbands, hundreds upon hundreds of parties and litres of free alcohol are basically what SXSW is all about. For four days (or even longer if you count the interactive component) Austin, Texas, is overrun by even more beards, flannel, raybans and pretty girls than usual when music players and industry folk come together from all over the world for this annual event.
Welcome to the first installment of the New York MOOKS Report restaurant review. This week we visit the once-favourite Williamsburg soul food restaurant Pies-N-Thighs, which recently reopened after a two year hiatus.
Without any exaggeration, it is safe to say that New Zealand-born, New York-based photographer Tom Gould, is one of the most offhandedly hilarious guys you will ever meet. His stories of rat baggism and rascalism as a youngster – told with wide eyes and raised brows – will have you laughing so hard you may actually snort in public. |
