FREE Brooklyn Mutt Show This Weekend

It’s time to praise the nappy little barksters of Brooklyn and reward them for their oddball ways at the 2nd annual Brooklyn Mutt Show. This ain’t your grandma’s Westminister, proven just by the fact there is a Snook-a-like contest to find the dog who best resembles everybody’s favorite Jersey Shore

FREE Zinester's Guide to NYC Non-Denominational Cookie Swap

Baked goods are the best part of any holiday, especially cookies from the winter holidays. While all Christmas and Chanukkah cookies are delicious, it’s important to have variety. Making your grandma’s signature snickerdoodles is pretty awesome, until you’ve been eating them for every meal for three days. Instead of eating
