  6. Getting Kids into the Colonial Spirit in Williamsburg

    Blog: Ciao Bambino! - 13 September 2011

    Williamsburg, Virginia is a cultural gem, a place of living history, a lovely colonial smorgasbord. As such, it rightly bills itself as a place to step back in time. That’s a great idea of course, and the costumed interpreters there do a wonderful job of engaging their visitors and explaining the significance of the place. But what if you child isn’t inherently interested in colonial American history? Never fear – there are lots of ways you can make sure that a trip to Colonial Williamsburg is fun for everyone in the family, history buffs or not.

  7. The Giglio Festival Comes to Williamsburg

    Blog: Broke-Ass Stuart's Goddamn Website - 7 July 2011

    Williamsburg in the summer seems to be an endless blend of celebrations. Whether it’s some sort of feast, carnival or literal mass taking place on the streets, the neighborhood gets bedecked in tinsel finery all season long.

  8. Northside Market Opens Today! Brooklynites and AC Lovers Rejoice!

    Blog: Broke-Ass Stuart's Goddamn Website - 25 June 2011

    So apparently markets are the new $2 PBR of Brooklyn, and I am 100% okay with that. Taking cues from the success of predecessors like Brooklyn Flea and most recently, Smorgasburg, Northside Market knows what the borough likes and is opening a summer-only indoor market in Williamsburg starting today, Saturday June 25th.

  12. Broke and Bored Activities: Reading NYC Signs

    Blog: Broke-Ass Stuart's Goddamn Website - 7 June 2011

    If you’re anything like my roommate and I, you derive pleasure from nonsensically mocking olds reading signs and/or just the existence of the particularly hilarious signs and graffitti tags abound in NYC. That’s right– reading signs.  It sounds way too simple to make any sense.

  14. Smorgasburg: A Food Flea in Williamsburg

    Blog: Broke-Ass Stuart's Goddamn Website - 21 May 2011

    As the name might suggest, Brooklyn Flea’s newest food venture Smorgasburg is both a “giant buffet” of food vendors, and taking place in Williamsburg. Riding the food-truck, artisanal food-crazy bandwagon, this sprawling outdoor market promises to be the one stop shop for all of New York’s foodies every Saturday this Spring and Summer.

  17. Le Comptoir: Bottomless Mimosas Within Stumbling Distance

    Blog: Broke-Ass Stuart's Goddamn Website - 27 April 2011

    The other weekend I attended the most drunken brunch I’ve possibly ever been to– or if not the drunkest, the most booze consumed at one brunch. There is one place responsible for this. Namely, Le Comptoir in Williamsburg, which is luckily within stumbling distance from pretty much anywhere in that neighborhood.

  18. Happy Record Store Day

    Blog: Broke-Ass Stuart's Goddamn Website - 16 April 2011

    Today is the day where thousands of bespectacled music nerds (myself included) celebrate all things vinyl for National Record Store Day. More then just a music industry sales ploy, hundreds of artists have new special releases and re-releases just for the occasion.

  19. Bask In the Past At Legion

    Blog: Broke-Ass Stuart's Goddamn Website - 11 April 2011

    If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. It’s what mama always said, along with “hold doors open” and “always carry an extra sidearm.” Unfortunately, as we all strive for reinvention in this ever-swirling snafu known as life, sometimes we get a change we don’t need for the simple sake of changing.

  20. Graham Ave. Meats and Deli: Best Sandwich Ever

    If you’re looking for a slightly nicer Italian restaurant, but not so nice you’ll get stabbed with a fork for using the wrong one, go to La Nonna.  Their classic Italian dishes are the cheesiest, freshest and most tomato-ey you could hope to stuff your face with. Even a simple dish like homemade gnocci with buffalo mozzarella and [...] Related posts:B.A.D.
