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.
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.
Some people say they can do everything. 27-year-old New York based artist Lauren Lacey Slowik, is not one of those people. But the things she can do include, but are not limited to the following:
“Cats, one dollar hair extensions, fake blood and glitter” – what’s not to love about a series of parties based around these four elements. CHERYL as it’s fondly known, is part art, part fun and absolute craziness. The self-described ‘disco shamans’ behind the monthly Brooklyn parties, have been plugging away for nearly two years on all things deliriously wacky and it’s beginning to pay off.
In the notoriously fickle music industry (and amongst what can be even more notoriously fickle music ‘fans’), it’s always exciting to see a deserving band start to receive recognition. This is currently happening to Twin Sister, whose music recently featured on the ‘holier-than-thou’ Pitchfork, which used phrases like “dreamily psychedelic and spacious”, to describe the Brooklyn-based quintet. |
