Deep-fried turkeys are a fire hazard, but Thanksgiving diners can play it safe by opting for takeout or delivery from a Brooklyn restaurant specializing in fried turkeys.

When This Old House leaves Boston to go on the road, we rely on our local contractors for a LOT – they have to do high-quality work that we can get behind both on and off the show, they must be able to move heaven and earth to meet immovable (and sometimes seemingly impossible) deadlines, and they must agree to work under the microscope of this multi-media experience – live 24-hour webcams, visits from the ...

While deciding what I wanted to drink on a recent cold evening, my decision was essentially focused on three options. It was the same three beers that I find myself going back to over and over in the Winter months. I dubbed it my Winter Beer Trinity. (We Catholics are naturally inclined to group in sets of three. :-)Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout - I picked up a case of the Brooklyn Brewery Winter release on ...

A woman came in my store recently and we chatted for about an hour, about art, Brooklyn, community and salons that cater to curly/wavy hair. One of the absolute best things about owning a store in Brooklyn is meeting new cool people! So, my new friend Eleanor wrote this very sweet article about my store on her blog creative times. If you ever want to read smart and thoughtful commentary about brooklyn and artists, politics ...

I guess this is what happens when folks my age and of a similar artistic background have kids: those kids have a tendency to turn out cool. Perhaps the only thing kids could do to bum out parents of my generation and worldview would be to grow up Young Republicans. So mamas, don't let your babies grow up watching Fox News. Let them dig through your record collection and form awesome rock bands in junior ...

As the above graph illustrates, the relationship between Treasury securities and inflation-indexed bonds has been very odd of late. The blue line is the yield on 5-year nominal Treasuries. The red line is the yield on 5-year inflation-indexed Treasuries.My colleague Robert Barro suggests a hypothesis:Greg: Had an interesting discussion with [xxxxx] about the odd recent behavior of indexed-bond rates. The basic idea is that, in the present environment, nominal Treasuries have a negative beta. If ...

Tutti abbiamo sentito parlare di Little Italy a Midtown Manhattan, ma in pochi sanno che, mentre nel cuore della Grande Mela Little Italy diventa ogni giorno più piccola a causa dell’espandersi di Chinatown, altre tre comunità italiane ben più grandi non hanno problemi di “spazio”. Due comunità,decisamente più grandi, sono quelle di Brooklyn, più precisamente nel quartiere di Bensonhurst, e quella di Staten Island. La meno conosciuta tra tutte è probabilmente quella di Arthur Avenue, ...

Irina and Royce discuss how he got into what he’s into. Royce Bannon aka R. Bizzle is a ...

Selectism Columnist, Kyle Hackett, puts forth the word on Monday’s opening of Smith + Butler in Brooklyn. Located on the corner that it is named after in Brooklyn, the shop looks to please the style of the urban man looking for the classic brands that made this country what it is, while casually courting local start-up outfits who bring product to complement the latter. Expect Woolrich, A.P.C., Wrangler, more. More images from the Smith + ...
