A: NO!
I went to Zebulon for the first time last night to see my friend’s jazz band play. It’s a neat bar that’s laid back and romantic–dark lighting, candles, booths. My enjoyment of the music was ruined by this couple sucking face in the grossest possible way for about an hour. I […]

Avid readers of $tay ¢old have probably been thinking to themselves, “Now this here site is pretty dang entertaining. I just feel like there’s something missing…something that I can’t quite put my finger on….” Well I’m here to tell you what that something is: A Jew. And not just any Jew–me. […]

Michelle is a Greek goddess of amazing weird hippie-dom who loves to frolic in the woods, wear more chains than Mr-T, and takes everyone by surprise when she switches her style up the second summer hits by trading in her jeans + boots + men’s jackets for blinged out gold heels + short shorts + […]

Williamsburg hipster haven Union Pool has more problems than the usual 12-hour bathroom wait.
One of the bouncers has been accused of “gaybashing,” after he allegedly put a young gentleman nicknamed “Charlie the Gaysian” in a headlock after he complained about the early closing (3:15) of the back room at UP. Apparently there was the […]

Superchunk played a free show yesterday at Williamsburg’s McCarren Park Pool, the first in this summer’s series of pool parties at the popular waterless swimming hole. We obviously don’t need to tell you how great this band is. You know how people say when Morrissey sings, it feels like his lyrics were written just for […]

This big fat lovable Border Collie belongs to my roommate Heather. She barks at everything and sheds like crazy, but if Sashimi were a person, Stay Cold would be her best friend. We would be eating Crif Dogs and chugging ‘rade together after staying up until 5 drinking Tecates. This dog kills it.
earlier: The New […]

Get your Serena on as Barcade hosts Wiimbledon, a test of your Wii Tennis skills from noon to 5 PM on Saturday, June 23rd. Singles and doubles matches, prizes, beer, and if your arm hurts or you suck and get bounced out, you can always play Asteroids. If my wiffleball game breaks up early, get […]

Brooklyn-based art collective Saviour Scraps works with donated and reused fabric to transform gallery and art spaces into fairytale settings. Members have turned a fire escape in the East Village into the castle turret where Rapunzel was locked up and a warehouse in Williamsburg into a cabin in the woods.

This Friday, Saviour Scraps will join […]

On the days on which I feel the most exhausted, stressed-out and generally discouraged about my oh-so-busy life, I try to think of my overachieving female friends, and remind myself that answering phones isn’t that hard and I should probably quit my bitching and get back to work. Amy is one of the girls I […]

Fist normally does this but his ass is in the Chi-town so I’m stepping up since half the people that operate this issue are still asleep. Bunch of good stuff coming up in the Apple this weekend despite the shite weather, don’t let that stop you from wiling. I dont know when any of these […]

Summer is the time of year when go-getting young modernists such as myself wish to uproot and find new living spaces. As I am one of these people, I find the hardest part is matching my projected rent to the neighborhood I want to be residing in. Mapskrieg gets you there by combining Google Maps […]

And when your friend calls to tell you the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are playing a girls-only show at a tiny venue a mile from your apartment, you drag your pajama-wearing, ice cream-eating, Food Network-watching ass out of bed and join in on the fun.

Here at Stay Cold we get off on telling you what to do, so it’s only natural that we should offer the opportunity for the personal tailoring of our opinions to your private life in the form of an advice column.
Our columnist began her career at the Sixth Grade Gazette with the column “Dear Quackly” […]

Here are some musical high and lowlights for this weekend:
FRIDAY 4/27
6:00 PM
Lightning Bolt, The Sun Ra Arkestra
Pratt Lawn, free
Yes, I know you are “eclectic” because you like noise AND jazz, and I know you want to see Sun Ra play his organ with his teeth or something, but it’s simply too fucking disgusting out […]

Upon hearing that previously-unnamed Little West 12th street hotspot Revel was reopening, now with a moniker and also (gasp) a phone so you can actually make reservations, I secured a plus-one to the open-bar shindig courtesy of a ladyfriend. (It doesn’t matter what her name is, she’s my fucking ladyfriend!) Before braving the opening crowd, […]

Sub Pop’s Oxford Collapse headline tonight’s benefit for the Waterfront Preservation Alliance of Greenpoint and Williamsburg at Galapagos on N. 6th Street in Brooklyn.
Supporting them are Dischord’s Antelope and French Kiss’s Rahim, formerly known as Radio Raheem when they recorded a 7″ on my ancient record label, Pony Collision Recordings.
Rahim used to remind me […]

The Brooklyn Brewery’s Saturday tours are hell of old news, but I was very recently enlightened to the existence of that which would make all alcoholics grin: a Friday happy hour on the premises of the award-winning Williamsburg beer factory.
The Brewery is located on Wythe Avenue a mere five minutes walking-time from the Bedford L […]
