Remember Times Square in Its Dirty Old Days, Before Those Perverse Elmos Followed You Around? - The Village Voice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It used to be that when you walked through Times Square, you were beckoned over by the operators of peep shows, strip clubs, porn theaters, and the like, as a potential customer or sometimes as a possible new hire, depending on your perceived gender and what sort of club it was. Nowadays, unless you’re walking fast and wearing a “Don’t bother me, I live here” expression, you’re likely to be pursued by a Disney or PBS puppet character hoping for a tip in exchange for posing for a photo, especiall
Print Is Still Kicking Butt at the 2026 Brooklyn Book Festival - The Village Voice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Under its current patron saint, Zohran Mamdani, NYC has been experiencing pockets of euphoria — streets packed with celebrating Knicks’ fans, the thrills of the World Cup, everyday quality-of-life upgrades (repaired potholes and water fountains, maybe even a resuscitated BQE). In the lead-up to the 21st Brooklyn Book Festival, Johnny Temple, co-chair of the festival’s Literary Council, jumped on the vibe: “On the heels of the New York Knicks’s historic championship victory, this city is on a rol
March, Dance, and Celebrate Freedom and Solidarity in Two Boroughs this Labor Day(s) - The Village Voice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Drawing crowds in a tribute to freedom and unity tracing back to the 1838 emancipation from slavery in Trinidad and Tobago, the West Indian Day Parade has been a Labor Day tradition in Brooklyn (a borough with the largest West Indian population outside the Caribbean) since the late 1960s. At 11 a.m., the parade begins its journey down Eastern Parkway, from Utica Avenue to Grand Army Plaza. You can simply watch or you can march along, inspired by steelpan (aka steel drum) and soca music and the f

Eat, Drink, and Be Merry Till Midnight at the Queens Night Market - The Village Voice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s hot and not getting cooler anytime soon, not this summer or next or into the foreseeable (and pretty frightening) future. But climate activism aside, there is a temporary oasis in NYC’s most famously diverse borough. The expansive, open-air Queens Night Market is an oasis of food vendors, artisans, and live performance happening in the more tolerable hours — till midnight on Saturdays from April till October (with a hiatus for the U.S. Open in late August and early September). The market wa
