Old School VWs and Picnicking at Governors Island

Some cars have very distinct personalities. For instance, if a Porche were to transform, Transformer-like, into a person, I imagine it would turn out to be an obnoxious Architecture major at Yale. Volkswagens, on the other hand, I picture as being like Diane Keaton in ‘œAnnie Hall’: bizarre and lovable,

Things To Do At Rockaway Beach

Summer is almost over, and if you’re anything like me you’re panicking about every passing second that is not spent at the beach. Rockaway Beach is the most Broke-ass friendly of them all, in my opinion, because you don’t have to buy an LIRR ticket, so get out there. It’s

Burlesque at the Beach

Burlesque shows are usually somewhat expensive, which I feel is justified because most of the routines involve stuff I would only be doing in my nightmares, like having knives thrown at me while wearing a top hat and pasties. However, the twice-weekly Burlesque at the Beach show in Coney Island

FREE Slurpee Day at 7-Eleven

My questions when I heard about FREE Slurpee Day were this: one is there a limit on the number of free Slurpees you can get?,  and two what are the flavors going to be? Not surprisingly, it’s only one Slurpee per customer. Also, it’s the tiniest, 7.11-ounce size. However they’re probably
