NYC, How Creative You Are!

Spotted on the Morgan L Subway Platform.

Among the paid advertisements lining the walls of the subway system we tend to find "masterpieces" all their own. Apparently the well known "Moustachhhe" guy has been nabbed and slapped with a hefty fine for decorating some of our favorite and not-so favorite celebs who hang among the colored adverts.

I was delighted and absolutely humored as I "LMFAO'ed" as I saw Jerry Stiller's nose constructed into a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Face, hilarious. 

Not that NYC lacks creativity in anyway at all, but it's always nice to come across these masterpieces.

Please feel free to send me your favorites!

LIGHT UP BKLYN

Last Thursday we attended Light Up BKLYN hosted by Join Bklyn with presenting sponsor Google New York at the Morgan Warehouse in Brooklyn. This was a free event with food and drink provided by local sponsors to celebrate all that is Brooklyn!

When we walked in all we could say was "Wowww..." it was pretty stunning. The lights were amazing with illuminated artwork adorning the walls.

Participating Partners Include::
Sculptural Interventions + Domestic Projections by DADDY
Light Sculptures by  Markus Bradley
Light Painting Photobooth by: Gisel Florez
Cocktails by Brooklyn Gin and Black Grouse Whisky
Beer by Tiger Beer
Curried Black-Eyed Peas by Fatty Crew
Arcadian Pastures Pulled Pork Sliders w/ homemade slaw and pickles + Italian Sesame Cookies by Cafe Ghia  (I have had dinner here before, awesome!)
Grilled Veggie Bites and Sweet Potato Weekend Girls by Skytown Village
Electronic Music/ Human Feel with Audio/Assassn
Presenting Sponsor Google New York

A special thanks on our behalf goes out to Join BKLYN for throwing this amazing event!

Providing the sounds for the entire night was Audio/Assassn. Being a girl who loves techno and house music, I was in heaven. Audio/Assassn killed it and had us moving, even though it seemed we were in a house of not many who enjoy dancing (common people, lets shake it!)

Thanks so much LIGHT UP BKLYN, we had an amazing time!

Need Weekend Plans?

It's Friday, and we know what's on your mind, where am I going this weekend?!? 

We have a place that may do the trick, Pine Box Rock Shop in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Exploring new places is what it's all about rather than only going to the "most talked about" or "hip for the minute hot spots." We don't feel Pine box fits into either of those categories. This place is laid back, but loud and the bar staff is incredibly humble and accommodating. The empanadas, let's talk about the empanadas.. we all need a little something something to eat while throwing back a few and Pine Box has got you covered, they offer a variety of 3 different empanadas to chose from; all of which are Vegan friendly, we suggest the Philly Cheese! Pine Box offers a full bar selection as well as specialty drinks with prices thats won't set you back on paying the rent either.

Empanada's!

 Of course we always save the best for last.. Pine Box Rock Shop is doggy friendly, that's right no need to leave Fido at home on a Saturday afternoon, take him to the Box with you. Ask your bartender, they will have some tasty treats for your furry best friend as well.

Pine Box's Restroom

Anyone with a keen architectural eye should check the spot out as well as it completely lives up to it's name, it literally is a PINE BOX. Be sure to check out the hand applied modge podged Restroom collage as well, super cool!

Be sure to check out their website to find out about live shows as well!

Brooklyn we go hard.

We are true believers that any given restroom (dirty or clean) presents a perfect photo opportunity!

Hangin' for a minute.

High five to the creepy guy in green.

Street walking.

We know how to spot d. b. in any crowd.

Chain link fences are meant for climbing, especially in a get-away.

Freeze! Hands against the wall!

To go home... or, not go home. Not.

No regrets..

It's a hot Friday night and Jen and Alex decide to hit Downtown Williamsburg, Brooklyn to check out some hot spots! First we hit a bar called The Woods; 48 S 4th Street . Good crowd, awesome drinks, danceable music, huge backyard... score!)
