Urban Country Club on Metropolitan
We’ve enjoyed the Bushwick Country Club down on Grand for years, now comes the Urban Country Club on 290 Metropolitan Ave. The staff inside was very hush-hush about the operation.

14 Bayard Squeezes Into McCarren’s Karl Fischer Row
This building at 14 Bayard Street just squeezed in on the south side of McCarren Park. It’s dwarfed by the Karl Fischer row of buildings at 20 Bayard, 30 Bayard (Aurora), 50 Bayard (Ikon) and looks to stand equal with the Lotus building at 2 Bayard on the right. In a matter of weeks this [...]

If you’ve walked by the corner of Lorimer and Metropolitan Avenue in the last two days you may have noticed a slight change. Gone is the plywood that was covered in The Friendly Neighborhood graffiti and evil Mike Bloomberg posters – In is a brand new stainless-steel Airstream travel trailer retrofitted to serve as a [...]
Review: Ruby Suns and Toro y Moi at Brooklyn Bowl
Toro y Moi aka synth-loopster, Chaz Bundick and New Zealand electro 3-piece, The Ruby Suns took the stage at Brooklyn Bowl on Friday night, taking on the venues challenging acoustics and making them their bitches. Kicking off the night, Toro y Moi’s loop-centric synth set provided room-filling resonance, through a blend of tonal basics, contained [...]
