Until now, I’d never heard of 5A5 Steak Lounge or Van Gogh Vodka.  But I’m pretty sure it’s because they run in different circles than I do.  My wallet makes me more of a Palace Family Steakhouse and well vodka kind of cat.  But that’s cool, I’m down for the fancy stuff when I can [...]

No this is not the first, Gwyneth-related post, (and yes, she is my “white whale”) I was inspired by this link my sister sent me today, when we were idly G-chatting about bullshit, to discuss why Gwyneth Paltrow and her wealthy peers makes Broke-Ass-itude so appealing.
Having been a long time disgustee of Gwyneth’s brand of [...]

This past CMJ season I had the chance to attend a show at one of the most hateful and awful musical venues this side of Terminal 5 at a little place called Santos Party House.  The floor space was cold and weird with its white concrete walls, huge plaster columns and blue and pink and [...]

If there is one thing that we love here at Broke Ass HQ, its music. From Ashley’s post about the crushing on Natasha Khan, or the sweet, soulful sounds of Stu’s [and now my] obsession with Stax Records, we live for the music. Lucky for you, I have been working less on haikus and more [...]

The Bryant Park Film Festival is great for chilling outside, enjoying great weather and checking people out. It’s not so great, however, if you’re actually really interested in hearing the films dialogue. Fortunately this week’s selection  should be long on visual impact so even if the noise of the city drowns out the actors voices, [...]

I was on my way to work the other day when I walked by Taqueria Los Coyotes.  I noticed they had a huge banner outside that read “Buy One Burrito, Get One Free” and I made a note of it so I could share this information with all you lovely people.  Unfortunately, I wasn’t observant [...]

I know all you Bay Area folks are probably out in the sun, getting down with your gayness right now and not looking at your computer.  But for those of you who do end up checking the site, there’s an awesome event Monday night.

Do you want to experience the weirdness of Burning Man, but want none of the mud, questionable sex, or, any actual burning “man”?  If you answered yes, then, get your hippie hipster ass to The Bklyn Yard for The Love Canal party on, duh, the Gowanus Canal, for what seems like the second coming of [...]
