There are few things as culinarily sinful as Junior’s Cheesecakes, so it was only a matter of time before they hung a shingle in Sin City. The Brooklyn institution is opening a new location at Resorts World Las Vegas later this fall, marking the diner’s first-ever (nearly) West Coast location. The 300-seat restaurant will offer […]
Untable brings a modern, stellar new twist on Thai to Carroll Gardens
Rachanon Kampimarn, who everybody calls Un, has never had any formal training as a chef. Everything he knows about food and cooking he learned on the job–most recently in the kitchen at the Red Hook outpost of Somtum Der — and from his family, back when he was growing up in the Isan region of […]
Arcade Fire’s Will Butler went solo and picked up some sisters along the way
“Did you notice how batshit fucking crazy the city was the first few days of school?” musician Will Butler asks, midway through our interview. He wants to know if I really understand the jarring experience of starting a new school year in Brooklyn. “Were you aware of that? Were you like, ‘What the fuck is […]

New in Williamsburg: An Instagrammable mural, underwritten by Instagram
North Brooklyn was a public art hotspot last week, even if most of the murals going up were actually advertisements (murals for Bulleit by Faust, an installation for the travel brand Intrepid). From the expansive spread of fresh painting underway around the area, emerged two vibrant goddesses — their hands meeting tenderly in the swell […]

Restaurateur Gabriel Stulman and chef April Bloomfield open Sailor in Fort Greene
Gabriel Stulman is kind of a genius at creating intimate, vaguely ramshackle, very happening restaurants. Places where the food is simple and delicious and most everyone there seems like a regular. Joseph Leonard, or “Joe Leo,” is the apotheosis of the formula, but his Fairfax and Jeffrey’s Grocery, all three within a few blocks of […]
Designer Tanner Fletcher leans into nostalgia with ‘Beauty Pageant’
(Photo by Selwyn Tungol) Following their Spring 2023 prom-night-themed collection, Brooklyn-based Tanner Fletcher has expanded its vintage universe to the world of pageantry.

A devilish director gets his due: John Waters on 50 years of cinematic chaos
John Waters frequently pauses mid-thought when he’s being interviewed. The bedlamite filmmaker behind “Hairspray,” “Pink Flamingos” and “Serial Mom” gives serious thought to every question, even if he disagrees with its premise. When I suggested Gary Busey’s recent spat of alleged hit-and-runs while sporting a Joker-like smile reminds me of a Waters character, the director […]

Tension, release and Stephen King: Underground rockers Godcaster are coming for you
Godcaster It’s the last day of August and about 300 people have chosen to close out the month inside an abandoned subway tunnel in Bushwick at a generator show hosted by the Brooklyn-based band Godcaster. Thanks to some flood lights purchased from Home Depot earlier that day, a halo illuminated the structure making it look […]
Goodbye summer: Scenes from Labor Day’s jubilant J’Ouvert and West Indian Day Parade
Brooklyn’s annual Carnival returned in jubilant fashion on Labor Day, as huge crowds filled Empire Boulevard starting at 6 a.m. for the rowdy J’Ouvert festivities. Those concluded at around 11 a.m to make way for the main event: The West Indian Day Parade, which strutted, danced, marched and partied its way up Eastern Parkway through […]
Vice is packing its bags and moving out of Williamsburg
It’s another end of an era in Williamsburg. Vice is vacating its headquarters on Kent Avenue, near the waterfront that has become a symbol of the neighborhood’s rapid gentrification and accumulating cultural capital. Wow. 'Move fast and break things' indeed, in this case, a neighborhood! — Denise K., Xennial (@dennerdenner) August 24, 2023 The media […]
New neighborhood spot Layla opens in former Rabbithole space
When Rabbithole closed in the fall of 2022, after 15 years of holding it down on Bedford Avenue, we lost what has become an increasingly rare sort of beast in this part of Williamsburg: the low-key local hang, a place where you can pop in for a drink and/or a meal, maybe run into someone […]

Gia Love (Photo by Stephanie Keith) “It’s like watching your babies, your grandbabies, your nieces, your great nieces and […]
‘It feels new again’: The Sunday day party is experiencing a resurgence
New York may have long ago established itself as the city that never sleeps — especially when it comes to nightlife. But in the wake of Covid clampdowns, there’s been a new resurgence of a familiar trend: the Sunday day party. Sundays have traditionally been a recovery day, a time to lick wounds and send […]
The chef behind Lilia and Misi opens Misipasta, a delightful pasta shop and eatery
Chef Missy Robbins and her business partner Sean Feeney preside over some of Brooklyn’s toughest tables. Have you ever tried to get a Resy at Lilia on Union Avenue in Williamsburg? Or Misi on Kent? Impossible, right? I snagged a bar seat at the latter a few years ago, and though the place was a […]
A beginner’s guide to the free, festive ‘Fan Week’ at the US Open
I’ve lived almost my whole life in New York City — and that life has now gotten pretty damn long — and until this past Tuesday I had somehow never managed to check out the U.S. Open Tennis Championships in Queens. Not even after they inaugurated the free “fan week” in 2017, during which anyone […]
