Will blog for drinks.
There’s no shortage of worthy ways to be charitable this time of year, but you’d be hard-pressed to find another that says “Made for BK” quite like this. Open Source, a Park Slope gallery/creative space, is looking for a few good cooks to staff its
Starving artists: Feed your own for the holidays
Thanksgiving out, (still) under $35 a head
Give high dinner prices the bird.
Last year, our annual list of turkey-day dinners for the kitchen-averse started on a solemn note: The price of dinner with all the trimmings was up a whopping $10 from the year before. So this year, we were flat-out scared when we set out to check the lay of the [...]
Credit unions 101: Everything you need to know to flee the big banks
Credit unions: where the 99 percent doesn't mean your interest rate?
This Saturday is the “money talks” day in the world of financial protest. The bank situation’s going hay-wire, the question “fee or not to fee” has us all glued to our account screens digging for hidden charges. Something’s got to give. And by something, [...]
BK getting its own Greek (food) bailout
These lovely people are putting their trust in you.
Call it refreshing, call it gimmicky, call it… a contagious strain of Jersey-rocker altruism? Whatever it is, there’s no denying the economics of one dining deal starting in November. Santorini Grill, a Greek restaurant off Bedford Ave. in Williamsburg, will be operating under a “pay [...]
New Amsterdam? The city is your new source for cheap drugs
A little while back, we ran the numbers on Rx meds at a few major pharmacies around the borough, and we learned a couple things: First, we found out who had the best prices; and second, we learned prescription drugs can actually be cheaper without that fancy PPO.

For aspiring baseballers, the minors are where it all begins. Whipper-snappin’ pros take endless grounders, bust their chops, hone their skills, all in the hope of climbing the ladder to the game’s biggest stage. And by biggest stage… we mean American Idol.
Volunteer opp hearthens back to ye olde Brooklyn
Lefferts House is seeking volunteers for its hearth & oven program this summer. Volunteers need prior cooking experience but will learn new hearth cooking skills.
Sand and saw a new career with free woodworking classes
Deciding how to broaden the ol’ skill-set can be a daunting task. You could shoot for ninja-like office chops to get back in the game, or even put in the time for a job-magnet of a three-letter suffix (Your Name, Esq.?). But you could also try your hand at something a little more… [...]
Tonight, how to mend your torn sweaters, Snuggies & jorts
You know how your grandmother could take a tattered piece of clothing, apply needle and thread and then, in a blur of old-world legerdemain, the thing was suddenly better than freakin’ new? Well, time to dredge up some of that innate garment-reclaiming handiness and save yourself a trip to Goodwill. Tonight’s the first-ever
CANCELLED: Saturday, see BK’s squawkers on a wild parrot safari

Update: Saturday’s safari has been CANCELLED due to the snow. Check back for the next safari in February (date TBA)
You’ve probably heard they’re here; you may have even craned your neck to catch a squawking flash of green up above. Brooklyn’s got parrots. As legend has it, the early avian settlers [...]
