Re: “8 Great Brooklyn Artists Under 30”
The only worthwhile art that is coming out of Brooklyn are by graphic designers and small record labels; fuck contemporary art.
Re: “8 Great Brooklyn Artists Under 30”
Was allll of this art made by opening ceremony?? Seems like they were so worried about it looking like they care or contrived, they instead went the polar opposite and made some bored looking junk. This has all been done, there's a good reason nobody remembers.
Re: “What to Expect When You're Expecting Butt Sex”
You can only enjoy anal if you want it. If you're ho-hum, it'll feel like you're shitting backwards and it will look like it too. If you want it, there is no sexy-pain, no pain-pain, and best of all, no nuggets of surprise. And only use oil based lube, not water-based. You want that hole greasy. And please people, rim that butt, smack it hard, and tease it before you boink "the forbidden fruit". It's the only way to get it primed for slamming, which you'll ask for. And yes, it's fucking amazing. Your eyes will cross. You will make noises like a farm animal.

Best art coverage yet. Love these.
Re: “15 Brooklyn Neighborhoods and The Very Best Restaurant in Each”
Roberta's didn't "single-handedly" transform the Morgan stop you goddamn fool. Shit was there for years before they opened. You're a clown.
Re: “8 Great Brooklyn Artists Under 30”
Wow some of the shittiest fake-talented clown garbage I've seen in a while, and all in one place. Thank you Brooklyn artists under 30.
Re: “Ranking the 13 Most Livable Neighborhoods in Brooklyn”
I grew up in Brooklyn and moved away 20 years ago. I go back and visit every year to see family and immerse in nostalgia. I found it funny that the neighborhoods that are so livable were among the most crime ridden ones back then.
However I do agree that you list the hipster neighborhoods and miss out on so much of the areas that made and still make Brooklyn. Sheepshead Bay, Brighton Beach, Gravesend, Coney Island. Manhattan Beach , 86th street, etc.. Each of these have their local immigrant communities, bars, local ethnic restaurant. Each generation brings a new wave with their own language, food, stores, and customs. This is the DNA of Brooklyn.
Soon enough when the cooler neighborhoods rents have risen thru the roof and the hipsters have fled to newer grounds, Brooklyn will still remain Brooklyn/

Re: “The Best Stores in Brooklyn”
I take issue with the Juice Box as the best wine store in Brooklyn. It's alright, but the customer service is lackluster. I vote for TB Ackerson in Ditmas Park for best wine store. And Trader Joe's - although a nice grocery store for what it's worth - does not hold a candle to the Red Hook Fairway. Trader Joe's selection of produce is very limited and they are quite heavy on the frozen foods. Plus, there is absolutely no where to park near Trader Joe's, whereas Fairway has parking and shuttle service (in groups of 10 I think) for those who don't drive. And who doesn't love a grocery store with views of the NY harbor and the Statue of Liberty? Believe me, Fairway is worth the trip. In the summer, you can pick up a taco at the ball fields on your way home.
Re: “The Best Stores in Brooklyn”
I have to say I'm very snobby about where I buy my kids stuff. I'm not a Mom but have an insane amount of nieces, nephews & friends babies I frequently buy for. The way I see it, if I'm gonna spend the money it needs to be incredibly cute (so I can impress the parents) & also cool enough for the kid too. I also love to buy "Brooklyn" merchandise to support my neighborhood & the one store I can say is THE BEST Kids store in Williamsburg, if not all of Brooklyn is Cute Attack on Graham Ave. This store should've at least gotten an honorable mention-come on!
Re: “The Best Stores in Brooklyn”
Why are Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens listed as the generic sounding South Brooklyn? They're not even that far south!
Re: “The Best Stores in Brooklyn”
DijitalFix is a Giant rip off, I'd prefer Mikey's HookUp with real prices and far less pretense.
Re: “The Best Stores in Brooklyn”
Re: Neergaard. "This large 24-hour pharmacy on Fifth Avenue is right in the middle of a major transit hub." This place is great, but the closest transit (a block away) is the F, G, R stop at 4th/9th. I would not call that major, or even convenient.
Re: “Are Cops Ignoring Attacks on Street Kids?”
i knew lesia personally... i was with her the entire 2 days prior to her attack.. we hung out in her apartment and watched The Stand and drank beer.. we parted ways when she was going to Tomkins and i was going to get food at NYU... the boy the interviewer refers to in this article--on the way to the beer store on 2nd and 5th who was wearing make up--is Jordan, also a friend of mine. there are so many factors to this story that the article doesn't cover... that are impossible to cover... these kids are responsible for their actions, but they are still victims to a city that's plagued by prejudice and gang-related violence. Jordan was a crazy fuck, but he was also an intelligent and nice guy. Lesia had a short fuse, but she wasn't violent--she wouldn't provoke a fight, much less involve others in something of that magnitude. i wish everyone knew what really happened to these people that i spent so much time with and cared about so deeply...
Re: “The Secrets to Entrepreneurial Success in Brooklyn”
I'm surprised folks from Bedford Stuyvesant didn't make it. There are a number of entrepreneurs there, many of whom were born and/or raised in Brooklyn who are doing amazing things. They also represent a very diverse population across the board.

Very interesting article. Thanks

Re: “The Secrets to Entrepreneurial Success in Brooklyn”
This is great, but I would love to hear how they managed to get the money together to get off the ground and do what they love full time. Investors? Loans? Mom and Dad?
Re: “25 Cheap Things To Do in NYC”
This was a fun read. Now I have some ideas of what I want to do if I ever go to New York City! Instead, I'm going to Boston! Does anyone know of things to see and do in Boston? I would love to hear things so I can plan a fun trip!
