Bushwick Supply, the highly anticipated sister shop to the Williamsburg music emporium Main Drag, launched with a bash when it opened its doors last week.
Like Main Drag, Bushwick Supply provides musician’s supplies including guitar strings, drum heads, drumsticks, drum hardware and parts, microphones, cables, gig bags, and other staples. “There was a lack of this kind of service around there,” said John Fell, partner in the business, “and we’ve been seeing a migration of our customers out that way. So, we figured we should give it a go, too. Many great venues and studios are also opening up around here daily.

“Jetfire” by Luisa Caldwell Lands on Diner Roof

“Jetfire,” a sculpture of a giant toy plane by artist Luisa Caldwell, made a safe landing onto the roof of Diner at the corner of Broadway and Berry Street, yesterday.
The 10ft x 8ft x 4ft sculpture is made of laminated plywood, cut and slotted like the toy balsam-wood version. “It’s nostalgia for a more innocent time,” said Caldwell.
