We're pretty sure Ben Lerman is posing here.
Here are two things we love: comedy and secrets. Or at least the whiff of secrecy that comes from calling something “underground.” Starting tonight, there are some really unique and hilarious acts coming to Public Assembly as part of the BK Underground Comedy Festival. The mini-series, which starts [...]

The Brooklyn Eagle on our birthday bash
Anna selling raffle tickets to our party-goers
In case you missed it, Brokelyn had a huge, awesome party a couple weeks ago to celebrate year number one. It was a blast: raffle prizes, entertainment, free drinks… even some love for our libraries. We hope you were there. But if you couldn’t make [...]
Giveaway! Two free tix… and making a microbudget film in BK
Colin Hearts Kay is the kind of movie we can’t help but love: It’s shot entirely on location in Brooklyn, with a soundtrack by talented up-and-coming Brooklyn bands and most importantly, made on a pea-sized budget. This veritable ode-to-Brokelynites about a guy, a girl and a break-up is having its world [...]

A guide to cheap Catskills rentals
Everyone needs to escape during the summer—relax, get some fresh air and recharge those NYC-grade Energizers we run on the rest of the year. And what’s the perfect place for all this? Why, the Catskill Mountains—near, yet far, the good old Borscht Belt—summer-home to countless New Yorkers for nigh a century. Of course, [...]
10 unboring Mother’s Day gifts you can still pull off
Wouldn't your mom love her very own avatar?
So it’s kind of a Hallmark holiday—you want a card with that perfect “thank you” that puts a tear in your mom’s eye and lets her know you love her, and you didn’t mean to not call her back for a month. Gifts are good too, and the [...]
Vote now: bring bike-share to BK
What do you think of GPS-enabled, calorie-tracking, specially-designed Trek bikes to use whenever you want? Oh, and you can check your carbon offset too. All this is courtesy of B-cycle, America’s first city-wide bike-sharing service. Only, Brooklyn doesn’t have this Zipcar of bikes—Denver’s the lone debut city—and we never will, unless [...]
