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!

May We Suggest...



This weekend we stumbled across a must go to brunch spot in the West Village of NYC, Philip Marie located at 568 Hudson Street at 11th Street. Upon arrival we felt completely comfortable and almost at home with it's homey yet contemporary feel. Seating is located both in and outside (however make those reservations prior to going if you want to bask in the sun.) Hands down the food is amazing and comes in record time considering the spot is completely packed. The music is absolutely mood altering considering it takes you from everything from 80's to Portishead (we like.)





The crowd is awesome and after a couple adult breakfast beverages they will have you chatting with your neighbor. Of course we saved the best part for last... unlimited mimosa's or bloody Mary's (while you are eating) with the order of any menu platter for a completely reasonable $24.99! Glad we shared the news, we are sure. Now make those reservations for Philip Marie, we recommend Saturday morning and then popping over to Employees Only across the street for a mind blowing cocktail from one of their master mixologists!
