So, about that whole CBGBs is dead thing? It may be coming back, and soon. We have it on good authority that the legendary venue is still alive in spirit, and angling to take over a new space in Manhattan. With the contents of the original club still around in a basement somewhere, if all goes according to plan it will even look like the old space. We'll update when we have more information, which should be filtering in over the next few weeks.
We Hear CBGB Is Planning To Reopen... Soon
Video Exclusive: Girl Walk // All Day Goes To The Graveyard In Chapter 6
The lastest Girl Walk // All Day chapter (the 6th, meaning we're half way through the film) brings the dancing to 5th Avenue, the Apollo, and a cemetery (can you tell which one it is?). Enjoy... and we'll be back next Tuesday to keep this party going with another chapter.
Video Exclusive: Girl Walk // All Day, Chapter 4 (Featuring Dancing On The Wall Street Bull!)
We're back with another chapter to premiere from the Girl Walk // All Day film. By now you are probably well acquainted with the troupe of dancers making their way around New York City. In this chapter, they bring their moves to the High Line, and atop the Wall Street Bull!
Video Exclusive: Chapter 3 Of Girl Walk // All Day (Featuring The Return Of The "Single Ladies" Dance)
We're back, with the latest chapter of Girl Walk // All Day, the epic music video filmed all over New York City. Below is the premiere of Chapter 3, which brings the protagonist to Lower Manhattan, where she teaches some women how to do the "Single Ladies" dance. But before you get there, you may want to start from the beginning and watch Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 again (or for the first time).
Video Exclusive: Chapter 2 Of Girl Walk // All Day (Featuring The Staten Island Ferry!)
As you know by now, we'll be exclusively premiering the epic Girl Walk // All Day music video right here on Gothamist, chapter-by-chapter, every Tuesday and Friday through early January. Just a few days ago you saw Chapter 1 of the 72-minute film (revisit it now!) and below is Chapter 2, titled "All Aboard." This one may look familiar as its the chapter that first introduced us all to the project almost one year ago, filmed mostly on the Staten Island Ferry. Enjoy, and we'll be back with the next installment on Tuesday, December 6th (just a couple of days before the big premiere at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple).
Exclusive: More Unauthorized Photos Of The High Line Phase II
Yesterday we took a panoramic look at the second stage of the High Line, running from 20th to 30th Streets and opening sometime next month. Today let's take a closer look at some of the details: gardens, benches, stairs, and elevators. This is fascinating stuff, people!
Pratt to Fort Greene: We Can Keep You Out
There was much rancor recently when Pratt announced it would restrict its campus to students and faculty. The university has long described the grounds as an "urban oasis" for the community, so locals are surprised about the sudden change. Some speculated that Pratt couldn't legally restrict access, because city streets were absorbed by the campus in the '50s. Well, The Local did some digging and learns that there is in fact no such requirement. Pratt can and will exclude you.
Milk & Honey, Cocktail Mecca, Goes from Secret to Private
Milk and Honey, the dimly lit railroad bar on Eldridge Street with the fastidiously-prepared cocktails, "reservation only" policy, and unlisted number, blazed the trail for the city's current wildfire cocktail craze and speakeasy-style bars. In recent years, as owner Sasha Petraske has expanded his footprint with Little Branch, The East Side Company, new absinthe-centric White Star and that Community Board pariah Mercury Dime, Milk and Honey has also only gotten more popular, with the secret phone number posted on message boards and blogs as fast as Petraske can change it.
