Brooklyn Cyclones: Baseball for Broke-Asses
No matter what sports team you like, you are definitely pissing other people off by liking them. I have been heckled on subways, streets and in Whole Foods for wearing my favorite team’s garb in NYC; I have doled it out also. BUT. I have found a magical sports loophole:

Eat Cheap for Charity with $1 Slices and More TONIGHT
GIMME PIZZAAAAA! P-I-Z-Z-A! Even the Olsen Twins can’t resist a good slice and tonight, just $1 will get you one from NYC’s most famous pizzerias at Slice Out Hunger. Lombardi’s, DiFara’s Artichoke, Grimaldi’s John’s of Bleeker, Joe’s, and more have joined together to raise money for City Harvest, New York’s

The 90s Are Back! We Have Color Changing Shirts!
As 2024 winds down, we’re reflecting on another incredible year of sharing the stories, art, culture, and nightlife that make the Bay Area so unique. BrokeAssStuart.com wouldn’t be what it is without you—our community of readers, supporters, and believers in independent media. This year, instead of asking you to join Patreon

Good Coffee On The Borderlands At Barcey’s
It’s easy to just think of New York as a series of subway stops. After all, you go underground, everything’s the same, then you’re somewhere else- no real way to connect the larger world. However, despite popular belief, Brooklyn and Queens share a lot of unceremonious borderland. No rivers, waters,

Xi’an Famous Foods: It’s the Flavor that Matters
I don’t know about you, but I’d travel to the far ends of the earth for great foods. Like India for its curries, Morocco for its tagines, Spain for its tapas, Japan for its raw, well, everything, etc… Fortunately in NYC you only have to take a train to the

Variety Cafe Lives Up To Name, With Some Cheapo Bonuses
So you’re in midtown. Whoops. Perhaps you need some crazy diamonds, or you’re praying to some pagan god for discount Book of Mormon tickets, or you just took a wrong turn in Hell’s Kitchen. No matter what way you slice it, the homogeneity of the landscape is dulling to the

DOUGH, Worth Being Fat For
I run a whole damn lot, which most people would take as a sign that I want to be “healthier.” FALSE. The real reason comes in the shape of a doughnut, tastes like a doughnut, and actually is a doughnut. Specifically, a glorious, otherworldly doughnut from DOUGH. Blood Orange with

Kenny’s Trattoria: Quality Italian on the Cheap
Talk about a hidden gem. Kenny’s Trattoria in Williamsburg not only has some brick oven pizza that rivals Motorino’s, but Italian apps and main courses that are tastier than Bamonte’s. Yeah, I said it. I mean, ambiance-wise, it’s a completely different experience than either of those places– it’s not ultra
