Surprise, surprise: New Yorkers weren’t afraid to give their opinions on anything from where the most yuppies live to where the most beautiful people live. Don’t worry, we won the most beautiful parks. (Business Insider) As if the president isn’t getting enough crap from Congress right now, Malala Yousafzai, the 16-year-old shot by the Taliban […]

Armed with camera and a friend, Bwog visited Ricky’s NYC this week to explore all they have to offer this Halloween — costumes, wigs, false eyelashes, masks, fishnets, suspenders. Merely a salon and beauty supply store eleven months of the year, October brings out the best (and/or worst, most disturbing, most sexual) in Ricky’s.

Singer/musician/poet/actor/spoken word performer Saul Williams was seen perusing the street fair on Broadway between 116th and 110th earlier today.

He’s supposed to be […]

When we were first invited to our class Facebook group we thought a lot of things: ‘How useful!’ ‘Can’t wait’ ‘Sign me up!’ What we didn’t think? ‘Oh my God get me out of here.’ But we’re certainly thinking it now…

Camping Connoisseur Katherine Nevitt is here to defend you. We’ve all complained about the impropriety of pitching tent in Butler. And yet at the same time, we’ve all been Milstein […]

In case you haven’t noticed, there are hordes of youths on skateboarders on Broadway, screaming, with helicopters overhead and cops standing and yelling.  Bwog’s hangover is none too pleased with this, but we admire their spunk.  This is the annual Broadway Bomb, an illegal boarding race down Broadway.  Last year, the state filed an injunction […]
