Straight GHOSTED: on the disappearance of a seemingly fine-going relationship

“It happens!” So they say. You meet a pretty cool guy, things start to take off in what you thought was the right direction, and the next thing you know you’re hiring a ghost hunter because YES: they have disappeared forever. It’s over. You’ve just

Taylor McKimens Stoic Youth at The Hole NYC

Sometimes I forget I live in NYC and there’s crazy-cool art galleries within every square mile, which is great when you happen to stumble across one of the absolute coolest, The Hole (I hadn’t been since Early Man), where 20 of Taylor McKimens’ paintings will have

UrbanSpace’s Garment District location now open

UrbanSpace is known for its city pop-ups all around town like of course my much-loved MadSqEats and their Garment District location off of Broadway / 41st street that recently opened again for its fall series this past week. The two block or so-long space includes a long

Why you should never give up on pizza

Why you should never give up on pizza

There are certain moments in my life where I decide briefly to quit bread and carbs and everything horrible, then I come across a craving like no other for the inevitable favorite: PIZZA. I become a monster. “ZA!!! I must have thee!”, I scream. Then

“You already know the tempo”: Leikeli47’s 10-song EP you need to know about

“Everybody always say they ’bout to do it, do it But do they ever do it? If you’re really gonna do it, don’t talk ’bout it Just do it” I’m always one to enjoy a thorough hip-hop dance routine, especially when choreographed by Tricia Miranda, so
