Pre-fashion week parties are not our scene. Impeccable cheekbones sipping $20 cocktails, sneaking cigarettes between cackles: not our scene. Bottle service: definitely not our scene. But as we helped ourselves to someone else's expensive vodka while we waited for Deborah Harry to grace W.i.P.'s tiny stage, it dawned on us: if stealing top shelf liquor from friendly suits and dancing next to men in 3-foot wigs was in fact a scene, it was a cheerily comfortable one.

A Food & Drink Tour Of Brooklyn's South Slope

2012 Idiotarod: Has The City Run Out Of Idiots?
Traditionally we reserve a space in our dark hearts for the Idiotarod. But after seeing these photos and hearing our intrepid photographer deem this year's event the "worst Idiotarod ever," we're wondering if it's time for the Idiotarod to stare at the sunset and think of the rabbits.

Photos: Michael Alan's Living Installation At ABC No Rio
Even to the jaded New York eye, it was difficult to enter ABC No Rio Friday night and not be bewildered. Over loops of brash R&B and his mother's anecdotes of his childhood, artist Michael Alan methodically applied just about every incarnation of paint, glue, paper, fabric and to the otherwise nude human instruments of his Living Installation.
Take A Look At Talde, Park Slope's New Pan-Asian Spot
A few weeks ago, we posted the menu for Talde, the new Asian fusion joint in Park Slope from former Top Cheffer Dale Talde and neighborhood favorites David Massoni and John Bush (of Thistle Hill Tavern). The restaurant is now officially up and running, turning out plates of Hawaiian pork buns, oyster-bacon pad Thai, Korean fried chicken and more, plus wine, beer and cocktails like Brooklyn Sling (gin, Luxardo, pineapple, house-made grenadine and bitters) and the Pacquiao Punch, a top-secret recipe that pays homage to Manny Pacquiao, the Filipino boxing champion, statesman and Talde’s personal hero.
Photos: The Vintage Subway Party Brought Riders Back To The '20s This Weekend
The Vintage Tea & Swing Dancing Party took place on Saturday afternoon, bringing the Roaring Twenties underground to the 2nd Avenue F train platform... which actually didn't exist until 1936, but it's okay!

Mike Nelson, Artist
Upon the opening of the space last week we asked the artist a few questions about the experience and stopped by to get a sneak peak. The exhibition, located at 117 Delancey Street, runs through October 28th (Friday through Sunday, noon-6pm). All photos by Sam Horine.
Swoon's Response to Splasher
If you've been following along with Gothamist, you'll know that the Splasher has been defacing streetart around the city recently. While many in the streetart community are upset with the Splasher's actions, Swoon has come up with her own solution - redo the pieces the vandal defaced. Sam Horine caught Swoon's pieces in Prospect Heights (around 5th Ave and Flatbush Ave), where you can still see the paint drippings from before she redid the pieces.
