Any native New Yorker will tell you that there is a certain nostalgia that permeates through Brooklyn. Yes, we may reluctantly admit that hipsters have brought a certain “cool” back to BK however, for a lot of us that were raised in NY the essence of Brooklyn goes beyond a bad mustache, know it all attitude and skinny jeans. It’s where out fathers and grandmothers grew up and where our great-grandparents settled after coming through Ellis Island. Next time you take a walk through an area like DUMBO try to imagine it through the hardworking New Yorkers from all over the world that came to Brooklyn and are the original producers of BK slickness.
Make Your First Impression Count with MOO
You only get one chance to make a great first impression, so don’t waste your opportunity with boring old business cards. White cardstock with raised text? Yep, everyone has already seen that some thousand times or so. “Interesting” layout with a bright color? Yeah, we’ve all seen that, too. How about gold foil and raised spot gloss? Well, that’s only from MOO and their Tailored Collection.

The BBG Brings The Classic Steakhouse To Life With A Twist
Vegetarians aside (no shade), everyone loves a perfectly cooked steak. Steakhouses in and out of New York are pretty common for us NYC and Long Island folk, yet a lot of them seem to echo the same type of menu without much differentiation. Well, that all changed for me last night when I tried a brand new location called The BBG, located in the heart of East Williston. The BBG, which is short for “The Butcher’s Bar & Grill”, takes the Steakhouse concept and elevates it to an entirely new level with its Mediterranean influence thrown in on the side. It makes for a duality that really sang to us when we stopped by there last night.

Love Conquers All For NYC’ers & Beyond on LoveWinsDating.com
Guest Contributor: Daniel Woolmer
Now that Love is starting to win for the LGBT community and equality of marriage is becoming accepted over many countries worldwide, we really need to stand for our rights and get the rest of the world on board. The days of being stereotyped for our natural genetics and outcast-ed with the things that do not fit in to the bracket of “normal”, is on its way to being over. The LGBT community must now make the most of the freedom that so many pioneers past and present have worked so hard in braking the boundaries so we can have what we have so far in the modern times.

The Brand New Nintendo NY Store Reopens February 19th!
As a kid of the 90’s who grew up worshiping and adoring all things Nintendo, I am thrilled that its legacy remains true and honest with the generations that have come in and loved it just as much as I did nearly twenty years ago. Now that the iconic Nintendo Store in Rockefeller Center is reopening its doors in two weeks to the public, my only hope is that future generations can really see the impact that this amazing company has brought to millions of people who love incredible characters like Mario, Luigi, Kirby and so much more, all under one roof. And they will be able to see that when its reopened on February 19th, starting at 12PM.

Why View is Worth The Trip Out East to Long Island
As someone who splits their time between Long Island and Manhattan, I am always looking for what is the best of the best when it comes to the amazing culture that both parts of New York have to offer. I found a hidden gem located out east in Long Island in Oakdale called View, and was glad that I did. This seafood-based restaurant boasts a lot more than your average shrimp cocktail, and is a multi-purpose location that you can have an intimate night with your friends, or even marry the love of your life at. Here’s how.
