WG reader Chris Altman, who writes for All That Is Interesting, sent us this message: “We thought you might find this post interesting; we recently did a tour of the street art of DUMBO, part of an ongoing series about street art in NYC.”
He was right! Chris and photographer Killian Simon did a beautiful job assembling this astoundingly beautiful work, along York and Pearl streets, under the BQE overpasses.
Who likes short shorts? Crest likes short shorts! Crest Hardware is proud to announce the first ever Quickie Crest Film Fest, a celebration of local film talent in the “Short Short film” medium.
Crest will open its backyard to the public for a night of movies under the stars, showcasing a series of 1 to 7 minute short shorts from NYC-based moviemakers. Each film shifts from genre to genre, keeping with the festival-established theme of “community” – be it personal community, local community, (or universal community for the truly ambitious).

It’s time for Third Annual Battle of the BadAsses, brought to you by The Society for the Advancement of Social Studies.
This annual lecture battle features three lecturers who take each other on to prove which monarch was the biggest badass of them all. This year’s battle features: Empress Regnant Irene vs. Charlemagne vs. Queen Elizabeth I, with drink specials.
The Society for the Advancement of Social Studies (SASS!) is proud to present a series of free lectures designed to both entertain and enlighten. We meet at The Bedford, the 2nd Tuesday of each month to discuss historical topics that you probably knew at one point but don’t remember anymore. Plus, there will be themed drink specials!
