Gifted: Brooklyn Flea's Holiday Market Open Daily

I’m guessing that you don’t have your Christmas shopping done. Even if you have it mostly under control, you probably still have the impossible to shop for people, like your weird cousin or grandpa, and you’re completely at a loss for what to get them. And you probably also have

OMG There is a Lego Store at Rockefeller

As a general rule, I avoid Rockefeller Center, especially on the weekends. It’s not as much of a cluster fuck as Times Square, but it’s pretty close. I never regretted this until this past weekend, when I discovered there is a Lego Store right by the ice skating rink. There

Taxidermy is one of those things that people love or hate. I freaking love it, even though I’m a vegetarian. There’s just something so fascinating about seeing a natural thing in an unnaturally still state. Also, it’s the best way to get up and close to a tiger without getting

Sharlene's Bar, I Love You

As I said a while ago, bars named after their owners are more often than not the best dive bars. After much deliberation and cheap beers, I’ve decided that Sharlene’s Bar is the best self-named dive bar in all of Brooklyn. First off, the drinks are pretty cheap. The beers
