Weekend Happenings
This is the first in a series of posts about all the ways to amuse yourself in the hybernation-inducing wintery depths of New York City. Don’t huddle at home, under a ratty blanket watching old episodes of Lost by yourself. That’s just depressing man. Instead, check out all of the amazing things happenings under our collective noses. Hey, you might even get a bit more culture under...

WatchChris Martin Has LOTS of Bouncy Energy On Stage. He asked people what they were missing Monday evening back home, wondering out loud whether it was “Frasier” or the “Fraggles.” Yes, those Fraggles.

Jollyship and the Whizbang @Spiegelworld
Enticed by a shoutout in ToxicPop last week I dragged my friend to check out Jollyship and the Whizbang at Speigelworld at South Street Seaport (if you’ve never been go see a cabaret show there.The view is killer).
From the ToxicPop description: “A concert with songs you’ve never heard, with outfits you’ve never seen and drinks you’ve never drunked (drinkees sold...

Karaoke on You Tube
I blew my throat strings and my mind on You Tube last night. There is a Karaoke channel?!
But I hate karaoke! Friends over for dinner + copious glasses of wine + karaoke at home = the best night ever. Big props to xandersdad1’s, whoever you are. http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=xandersdad1
Lunch for $4.50 in DUMBO
Have a grandma from Puerto Rico who cooks you fresh stewed chick, rice, beans? No, you say?
well then, make a pit stop at Bridge Coffee Shop. Its technically in “Vinegar Hill,” but for all intensive purposes really in DUMBO. You can’t beat their lunch specials. Plus, real utensils! People who are actually nice and offer you water!
Bear Hands @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
I went to see Les Savvy Five at the Music Hall of Williamsburg Sunday night. They ruled. The lead singer was down to a pair of red swimming trunks within 30 minutes, and towards the end of the set was jumping from the balconies. But…the real highlight of the evening was their opening band, Bear Hands. My vote for best new Brooklyn Band, Fall 2008.

Pizza by Surprise
I’ve lived in the Cobble Hill area for over two years, and as of last Wednesday, am embarrassed to say I’d never paid a visit to Lucali’s. Growing up in Bensonhurst, and later Staten Island, I only realized later in life how spoiled I’ve been, always residing within a 5 minute walk from excellent bagels, Italian ices, and pizza. Everything else, by comparison, has been a...
