If you've ever wandered around Williamsburg, you've probably walked past the City Reliquary, a tiny storefront on Metropolitan Avenue filled from floor to ceiling with ephemera, curios, and found objects with bits of NYC history etched into them. The Reliquary is technically a not-for-profit community museum, but it feels more like a time machine, a place filled with quirky remnants of the city's past—exhibits have included a collection of vintage Williamsburg Bridge postcards and a reconstruction of a Staten Island grotto. Not everything is about the days of yore: the museum is currently showcasing a man who obsessively documents his pizza-eating travels across the city. We spoke to Reliquary founder Dave Herman about where he finds his objects and the Led Zeppelin/bourbon/pie party the museum is hosting this weekend. more ›

Last night the City Reliquary pretty much brought the FDNY Calendar to life with a Fire Sale! Firefighters took to the Knitting Factory stage to sell... themselves, all to benefit the Reliquary (which is trying to stay afloat). Bids started at $50 and went over 300 bucks; winners were promised "a real life opportunity to take one of New York’s Bravest out on the town for a night of romance and adventure." more ›

Miss G Train has officially been crowned. Last Thursday the City Reliquary held their pageant for the line, and fittingly the evening was met with some hold ups — the Brooklyn Paper reports that one judge was delayed, and two contestants never even showed up. more ›
