Apparently this amazing man is opening a venue in our fair city of NYC at 100 Lafayette. Apparently this venue is supposed to be called Santa’s Party House and apparently there are no vehicles in this world that will get me to Alex W.K. fast enough for me to throw myself in his arms and […]

Remember when you were a kid and you fell off your bike and scraped your knee and it burned like a bitch and little pieces of gravel were all sticking out of it and your dad bought you some ice cream because you didn’t cry? Dads are awesome, always there for you when you need […]

No, not the title of the former Terror Squadian’s forthcoming children’s book. You might’ve heard but over the weekend police arrested the rapper in connection with an alleged shooting of a friend in the meatpacking district.
The flaxen-banged artist got a lot of shine on Fat Joe’s ‘04 anthem “Lean Back.” Last year she Storched […]

You know what would be nicer than seeing Gogol in July amongst slavo-gypsypunk-philes in New York? Seeing Gogol amongst gypsypunkphile slavs. Yes I would sit through an hour of techno for that. There has to be vodka around that place. Maybe marinated herring.

Today is go skateboarding day. Get your ollie-worn sneakers out, lock up your stupid fixed gear bicycle, dust off your stick and find a spot. If you need me I’ll be under the BQE doing rock-to-rocks and tail stalls.

Paging North Jerz Ho!
Maybe this is old news, but apparently there are active and organized white supremacists in blue-ass Northeastern New Jersey – Bergen County to be precise. And we’re not talking about the more subtle, “Jews control the media” and “Ship those immigrants back to where they came from” variety of racists, like your friend’s crazy uncle […]

Tony’s not dead. He was just sleeping. But he dreamed about ordering onion rings for the table at a family meal. Carmela didn’t order any onion rings, but she did issue a hit on Tony. Meadow, possibly pregnant, was totally wearing the wrong shoes for parallel parking or […]

It’s done. The final episode of “North Jersey On HBO” is over. And my heart is still pounding. If you didn’t see it, you are Leotarded. If you don’t get that, you don’t care.
My first reaction in the run up to the final episode these past few days had been, “well, I don’t know […]

Slated to open in October, the proprietors of Fat Baby and Darkroom have announced a hillbilly-inspired bar at 133 Essex that will feature a mechanical bull. Apparently, Manhattan famously lacks these entertainment devices (I guess the spank booths and crack aren’t enough for some people). Prepare to see bridge and tunnels and downtown wacksters alike […]

I’ll iron my shirts anywhere I damn well please.
Sushi robots. Seriously.

Whoaburg too hot for Galapagos? Time for Dumbo.

A-Rod is getting some flak for sexy-texting ladies of the night. Can he live?
Romantic bullshit department : Manhattanhenge.

WILDING. Google maps has now integrated a street-level view for all of Manhattan. Type in your address and now you can actually look around the area. I’m thinking they probably had a bunch of vans driving around with hard drives in the back, snapping pictures every few blocks and geotagging it with GPS info. The […]

Nothing fun is happening this weekend. TK Webb’s show at Maxwell’s was cancelled and that band Best Fwends is playing 19 times. I would go see them just for their name, but…you know. You could go see The Faint for $25 at Motherfucker, but, as you have probably noticed, it isn’t 2002. Yeah, […]

Today is both the best and worst day to go to Shake Shack, seeing as the weather is beautiful.
That being said, don’t go do this because we are going to go do this, and Shake Shack is crowded enough as it is! Check out the Shake Shack webcam to figure out when is the best […]

This Wednesday, 23rd May, the UEFA Champions League Final will be played between Serie A’s AC Milan and the Premiership’s Liverpool. If you are into soccer and even if you are not, matches like these are awesome, so find the time to watch. Since the game is being played in Greece you will have to […]

Cam is pissed at 50. That’s all, nothing new. Highlight: Cam telling the camera operator to “get the fucking pool in the back.”

Chelsea art-scene Thursdays are usually pretty posh and snooze-inducing, but this particular one marks alterna-gallery Eyebeam’s first decade in New York. Eyebeam has been innovating the use of space, curation, and promotion to big-up nouveau methods of creation such as bio-art, Internet art, and other stuff geeks get hot on - like making an automatic […]

Fuck! Japanese style brand Neighborhood of paramilitary-motif fame comes out with a new fitted that is apropos of our current state. Available at Union NYC, of course.

The Ben Sherman store in SoHo celebrated its one-year anniversary last night with a party that blended the best and worst in alcohol, expensive clothing, and obnoxious dance music. Bass was on the scene with its delicious tap brews, which were countered by the disgustingness of the cough-syrupy Jekyll & Hyde shots being handed out in the […]

I was inclined to make fun of this at first, but it’s so dirt-simple and fly looking that I can’t fuck with it…and I don’t even play basketball. Click the picture to get a few more pics over at slamxhype.
