Brooklyn Craft Central Spring Market this Saturday
What better way to embrace the impending apocalypse then to indulge in one of mankind’s best self-serving traits, consumerism.

Habana Outpost Block Party
One of everyone’s favorite outdoor eateries, Habana Outpost is throwing their annual Block Party all day today.

Win Tickets to New York City Opera’s Séance on a Wet Afternoon and Small Black Performance
We previously talked up this amazing (and dare I say cheap) collaboration between The New York City Opera and L Magazine: Act 4, where you can score affordable tickets to contemporary opera shows and catch up and coming indie acts after the show. Well the fat lady has sung people
Happy Record Store Day
Today is the day where thousands of bespectacled music nerds (myself included) celebrate all things vinyl for National Record Store Day. More then just a music industry sales ploy, hundreds of artists have new special releases and re-releases just for the occasion. Featuring everyone from Bad Brains, Sonic Youth, Fleetwood
