The New York City Photobloggers are opening their first gallery show tonight at the Chrystie Street Gallery (167 Chrystie, between Rivington and Kenmare). Word to the wise: bring sunglasses, because there's going to be a lot of crazed photobloggers running around with giant flashes. Some of our favorite photobloggers are in the show, including Eliot Shepard, Rion Nakaya, David Gallagher, and Joe Holmes (disclosure: one of us has a couple of prints in the show). more ›

Extra special reminder: don't miss tonight's Gothamist-Six Apart happy hour at Sweet and Vicious (5 Spring Street, off Bowery), beginning around 7pm. It's right across the street from the opening of Eliot Shepard's show at Jen Bekman's gallery- that starts at 6pm, so you might want to go there first. Our happy hour will feature free drinks (hint: until the money runs out!) and extra special giveaways and surprise guests. Afterwards, some of us are going to go look at the elephants arriving in Manhattan- hilarity is sure to ensue. more ›
