red, white and brooklyn!

July 5, 2010

Here’s hoping that everyone had a beautiful holiday weekend, whether you spent it at a barbeque, at Coney Island for the hot dog eating contest watching Kobayashi get arrested, or holed up for some quality time with your AC and a frosty glass of lemonade! I’ll confess that I headed into Manhattan for the beautiful [...]

MTA? we hardly knew V!

June 28, 2010

Yeah yeah… It’s not Brooklyn. We know. However, the venerable (V) Train made its final trip this past Friday night into early Saturday morning, and Newmindspace had the awesome idea of throwing a party on the train to celebrate its last ride.  The last train left the 2nd Ave station in Manhattan at 11:33pm and [...]

When it comes to human emotion, just the mere mention of the word Brooklyn is enough. We know you are not talking about Brooklyn, Ohio or Brooklyn Park, [...]

open house new york

October 11, 2009

This weekend marked the seventh annual Open House New York celebration, which grants public access to many architecturally-significant and culturally interesting landmarks in the NYC area not otherwise open often (or ever, in some cases). The program this year featured loads of really exciting tours, many of which sold out in advance. I opted to [...]
