Great news for once, fam, Biggie's mural in Bed-Stuy is here to stay!
Not having such great luck? NYC's newsstands. Pour one out. This summer, rent out one of the most adorable mini cabins on the beach, right here in NYC. It can be difficult to pack the essentials for the perfect getaway, but we've got the perfect tool to keep your wine fresh however long you're gone. ⛴ It's basically summer already right? Well, we're kicking it off this weekend on our insane booze cruise, and you better be there. ⛴ Moving to NYC might seem crazy, but nothing's weirder than leaving the big city and remembering life in your parents' house. Why have plain ole' dinner and a movie when you can do brunch during the movie? We're too excited for BookCon– check out a couple of the things we've got on our radars. | |
Do you have Memorial Day Weekend plans yet? WELL CANCEL THEM. You’re coming with us on an insane two-hour booze cruise around Manhattan. There’s gonna be an open bar, and some delish bites from our buds over at FoodKick. Think about those views while you snag your tix. READ MORE… | |
Planning on catching an early movie but don’t want to be stuck eating stale popcorn? The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema has you covered! Executive chef Ronnie New revamps the Brooklyn cinema including brunch to their menu. New is also responsible for the Cinema’s signature milkshake, barbeque menu and chef dinners. Finally, real food and a break from stale popcorn, cold nachos, and rock hard candy. READ MORE… | |
When was the last time you spent time in nature? And no, sitting on a bench in Washington Square Park doesn’t count. In a partnership with Gateway National Recreation Area, Getaway will be setting up three pop-up cabins harborside. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, you and your bae can set up camp at these cabins amidst the cozy woods. And don’t worry NYC princesses, the cabins will come stocked with a mini fridge, fan, cooking essentials, a toilet, and running water. Just leave the MetroCard at home. READ MORE… | |
Just like that heathen who eats pizza with a fork and knife, you really shouldn’t trust anyone who says they’re too cool to read. BookCon 2017 is for all of us sane people who appreciate a good book once in awhile. Even if you’re more of the Netflix binging variety, there’s plenty to see at this year’s convention. Krysten Ritter, aka JESSICA JONES, will be making an appearance. As well as, wait for it.... CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY. Seriously, just buy your tix now. Your 14-year-old self will thank you. READ MORE… | |
King of Hip Hop Biggie Smalls friendly neighbors stood up to keep his memory around the streets of Bed-Stuy. Why not? It would be pretty damn rude to take down such an iconic mural celebrating a rapper who contributed so much to the character and legacy of not only the neighborhood itself, but THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD, HIP HOP OR OTHERWISE. Petitions were written and voices were heard as the mural was able to stay up because of an agreement between the buildings landlord and the artist. READ MORE… | |
When was the last time you had to tap one of your friends as DD on a night out? Or how about the last time you didn’t have to walk 3 blocks to do your laundry? We’ve gotten so damn used to the NYC lifestyle that when we visit our parents’ home, it can seem like a whole other world. Since when does it get so dark out at night? And where did the bodegas go? Although some of us unfortunately have grown up somewhere else, there’s really no place like home— NYC, that is. READ MORE… | |
If you’re not anything like us, sometimes it’s difficult to finish off a whole bottle of wine. And when you can’t and plan to save the rest, it’s totally not as dope the next day. Worry not though fam, we’ve got your solution. Not only does this wine gadget make opening a bottle super easy, it actually vacuum seals the bottle and removes the oxygen so your wine can taste just as amazing as it did the night before. Maybe this’ll help us with that thing called “portion control”... whatever that means. READ MORE… | |
Lets come together as a city, and not curse each other out for once! New York's famous newsstands are slowly dying out. Who's to blame? Oh, greedy politicians per usual. The opening of these newsstands gave war veterans employment after coming home and leaving all of their trials and errors behind them. Not all heroes wear capes– these newsstands were there for us during hot summer days and hungry winter nights. READ MORE… | |
Cancel whatever lame barbecue plans you've got going on Memorial Day Weekend and join us on an insane, two-hour open bar booze cruise around Manhattan. There'll be food, view, and like we said, BOOZE. Snag your tix right here before it's too late.

You Can’t Sail If You Never Leave the Harbor
A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for. –Grace Hopper
She knew something was wrong.
Culture creates prisons, and she was trapped inside one.
Teachers told her she wasn’t good enough. Professors told her the same, and she dropped out.
Her father begged her to reconsider.
But she wasn’t having any of it.
Her father had a choice. He could try to guilt her into college and be content with her taking the “safe” path. Many people went in that direction, and some of them were happy. Or, he could make the heart-wrenching choice of encouraging his daughter to find her own path.
If he simply gave her “freedom” or an easy path, it would be like giving her an inheritance. The easy way carried serious tradeoffs. The easy path carried diseases of comfort. He saw what those tradeoffs did to all the people around him.
People became automatons seeking greater levels of comfort with reduced amounts of personal risk. They became angry at any minor disturbance or lapse in comfort. They were ready to lash out at the systems of cooperation or their peers the moment they felt anyone was getting more than their “fair share.” The thought of his daughter becoming one of those comfort-craving zombies made him shudder.
He visualized her path in the short term, and didn’t want to see her struggle. But then he considered the long term, and thinking of her sacrificing her full potential was unbearable.
Freedom had to be earned, in order to be appropriately valued.
Individuality could only be forged in the furnaces of adversity.
He heard the passion in his daughter’s voice, the yearning for freedom.
So he presented her with a simple offer.
“You can skip college.”
The girl’s eyebrows raised. And her father knew what she wanted most… the family sailboat.
“And I’ll give you the boat.”
Her eyes lit up and a smile from ear to ear crept over her face.
“But…” sighed her father.
She was frozen in anticipation.
“You have to sail it around the world.”
She moved her lips to protest but he held up a finger.
“No protests and no negotiation. You want freedom, and that’s wonderful. But you’ll have to face a challenge in order to earn it. The ocean and the real world are the best teachers I know.”
The 26-foot boat glistened in the sun. In a mixture of fear, elation, and confusion, she spoke before she could think.
“I’ll do it.”
Her father’s heart sank but he knew he made the right choice.
At 18 years old, with no formal training, no GPS, and no crew, Tania Aebi took that 26-foot boat and sailed around the world. She became the first solo female sailor to circumnavigate the world. She took a sextant for celestial navigation, a radio direction finder, and a few other simple supplies and embarked on a year and a half adventure.
She faced storms, almost had her boat crushed, and came face to face with the ultimate enemy: herself and her mindset.
She returned. Unscathed.
Biologists have a term called neoteny. They use it to describe species they’re studying who retain juvenile features well into adulthood.
Many of our cultural institutions have become training grounds for neoteny.
More twenty and thirtysomethings live at home than ever before.
Americans in the top 1% of global wealth whine about how they don’t have enough. Meanwhile, they have pocket supercomputers more powerful than the ones NASA used to get to the moon. Instead of using them to become learning machines, hike across the country, or connect with like minds to build new things, they use them to play games.
Tania Aebi isn’t a household name. She’s not “rich” but she’s free.
Your name doesn’t have to become “known.” You don’t have to do what the crowd does. All of us can become free, unique individuals through adversity. There are safe paths always waiting for us. There are those who profess to “love” us by helping keep us in comfort. Their fear of the unknown can keep us from the adventures that make life worth living.
The challenge is to find and earn love from those willing to endure the pain of watching us struggle.
The struggle doesn’t have to lead to a million or a billion dollars. Most of the world lives on a few dollars per day. When Elon Musk was taking jobs from the Canadian unemployment office, he taught himself to live on $2 a day (hotdogs and oranges) to remove his fear of poverty. Culture has an endless buffet of fears and hamster wheels for you to run on. Escape them and kill your fears with direct real-world experience.
Take massive action, and then cut off any possibilities of regret. Face adversities and take full agency for your choices. Leave the safe harbor, but if you find yourself riding tumultuous waves or shipwrecked, don’t breathe a word of complaint. There are always gifts and lessons for those who take radical agency of their own lives.
Culture wants to keep you infantile. Those who are addicted to comfort have an allergic reaction when they spend time around those who can ensure uncomfort. Do you want to be addicted to comfort, or addicted to achievement?
While certain comfort-addicted neo-maniacs in the world worship “the coming machine singularity,” you can become a real singularity through facing and overcoming adversity.
You can become a unique individual if you find someone who loves you enough to allow you to endure challenges. It won’t be easy, and it will mean intense isolation from most people. But do you want to be like most people?
“It happens rarely, but whenever I do read a newspaper, listen to the radio, or watch television, on a variety of topics, I find myself wondering, “How? How can this happen? How can people be so gullible?”
[I’m renewed with] gratitude to my father for having given me the chance to dodge full immersion in the homogenizing machine, and makes me more determined than ever to pass this gift of becoming an individual on to my own children.”
— TANIA AEBI, world record holder, first circumnavigation of the world by a solo female sailor
Don’t be afraid to leave the harbor.
