New York Bubby’s
For the perfect fix of old-school Americana eats, head to the New York-based restaurant, Bubby’s. With locations in Tribeca and Dumbo, Bubby’s offers rich, satisfying down-home comfort food from bacon wrapped meatloaf to authentic barbecue to collard greens. For me though, it was their macaroni and cheese that made me a self-proclaimed Bubby’s addict.
Their take on this American classic is a supreme indulgence, with creamy béchamel-like sauce mixed with sharp cheeses and topped with crunchy cornflakes. Better yet is their homemade soda. Served with an abundance of ice, the cola is crisp and hyper carbonated, with distinctive flavors of dark red fruits and a finish of peppery ginger. Homemade root beer, chocolate soda, and ‘loco lime chili pepper’ are also on offer. But, for many, it is their sour cherry pies that garner the most attention.
Originally a pie-shop, Bubby’s sweets — from their pies to red velvet cakes and simple cupcakes — are worth a trip alone. And if you happen to be hankering for any or all of the above after a long night out, Bubby’s is now serving midnight brunch into the wee hours of the morning.

New York tends to pale in comparison to the Bay Area, LA, and even Chicago when it comes to Mexican food, but all that has begun to change in the past few years. Between the vendors at the Red Hook ballpark and the countless stands and restaurants in Jackson Heights, it seems that there’s hope yet for fans of good mole and corn-tortilla tacos. The joint that I still consistently recommend to people is actually Tehuitzingo, a little taco stand in the back of a bodega in Hell’s Kitchen (10th Ave between 46th and 47th, to be exact). Read more

Silence. In this world of near constant noise and motion, it really has become a sadly neglected and undervalued commodity. Yet, as I sit, looking down on a bustling metropolis of speeding cars, people, and minds, I can’t help but wonder what impact this sensory overload will have on not just our generation, but on all those to follow.

The nice thing about black metal is that it’s so hard for it to be co-opted. Between its often extreme ideologies and its inherently abrasive sound, it’s hard to imagine anyone trying to sell you a pair of sneakers with it. Even as some bands like Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Filth have wormed their way into the mainstream, the vast majority of black metal fans and bands out there are happy to stay in the filthy pits of the underground.

Being a new yorker, it was refreshing to see Cait’s article on Bubby’s. This place is meant for people who want to eat without regrets. Cait did a great job describing the excitment the food brings.
