Café Orwell

If you’re in Bushwick and need a bagel and free wi-fi in a hurry, Café Orwell is for you. It’s situated near the Morgan Ave L on Varet Street, a few doors down from my favorite place to get air for my tires, Post Bike Shop, and makes for a nice place to sip, munch, [...]


Peach Frog, I Love You

A couple of months ago, dehydrated and exhausted after wandering aimlessly through the heart of Williamsburg all day, my friends and I discovered Peach Frog.

Brooklyn Has A New Vodka

Film director Spike Lee and Absolut Vodka have teamed up to bring you Limited Edition Absolut Brooklyn. A blend of red apple and ginger, this new vodka goes well with a light-colored soda, like Ginger Ale, Sprite, or 7-Up. Creating “city flavors” has been a habit of Absolut since 2007.

Mr. Kiwi’s For Fresh Produce

Good groceries and fresh produce can sometimes be hard to come by in Bushwick, which specializes in the bodega. One of the biggest is Food Dimensions by the Myrtle-Broadway JMZ, which requires a big, deep breath before entering: it doesn’t make for the most pleasant shopping experience with its bright lights, long waits at the [...]
