Drunk Skeletor says: "These are the 18 best dive... →
A dive bar is a place that should have cheap beer, yes, but also decent service and some sense of being permanently etched into the landscape. If it’s baffling or intimidating to newcomers, all the better. If you walk into a bar, sit down with your beer and are suddenly being lectured on the terrible decision the Rangers made to trade for goddamn Phil Esposito 40 years ago, you know you’re in...

WORD NERD FIGHT CLUB!!
jamiatt:
So I want to talk for a second about what happened last night at the Vol 1. Brooklyn reading at CultureFix, and the fight that ensued, an act shocking at the very least because we are all such sedentary creatures, we book people.
So CultureFix, a bar/gallery space I have never been to before and…

All hail the Cheapest Generation
Economic recovery is based on how many things we buy, big things too, like DVD box sets and cars and houses and second cars. And here we sit, us generation Y or millennials or whatever, shaking our heads and asking “who the hell cares?” We are, as The Atlantic dubs us in this September article posted today, The Cheapest Generation, those of us wandering through urban areas, whose Zip Car...

Color Commentary →
Coloring is infinitely more fun when you’re older and know how to make things look pretty. So of course it’s even better when you get to have adult humor thrown in. Coloring for Grown-Ups fills this void you didn’t know existed with a mixture of self-contained jokes and prompts for audience participation. They’re happy to post reader submissions of colored-in pictures, too,...

make vs buy: juice
2 large beets: $2.00
1 lemon: $0.33 (use to taste at the end! I used 3/4 a lemon, peeled)
a small piece of ginger: $0.30
5 loose carrots: $1.37
3 large Rome apples: $3.26
TOTAL: $7.26
Have you made juice? I worked at this juice bar (not a strip club, no) with a giant industrial juicer and multiple blenders, but this was my first time doing it at home. It had almost as intense of a...

Scenes from the Brokelyn Summer Camp →
Every good camp ends with lots of photos. From Thursday’s Summer Camp party at Crown Victoria:
broadist:
button down: thrifted at Crossroads
skirt: c/o Dusty Rose Vintage
NARS matte lips in ‘jungle red’
I started off the night looking like my normal campy self. Sarah (the party photographer) and I were both laying down the bangs and tied button downs and cuteness (above), and then 4...

How To Live On A Budget →
thefrenemy:
SOME HELPFUL TIPS INCLUDE
Don’t get an air conditioner, just hang out your window and have the neighborhood children chuck ice cubes at your face
Talk about your Twitter enough so that everybody hates you and nobody invites you out
Instead of getting HBO which costs maybe a million dollars a month, try to find the episode online but worry the cops will come and…

Dispatches from the Union Hall fight club
This is a Craigslist Missed Connection our friend wrote about a real thing that happened at Union hall last Saturday night, in which some of Team Brokelyn was involved. Our friend informs us it was written at 5am in a drunken tirade, but some of the phrasing is oh-so-delicious. NSFW!
Here is just a taste:
To the raging Thunder C*&%t at Union Hall last night. - w4w (Pound Town)

Brokelyn deleted scenes: AmeriCan debate edition
At Brokelyn, we work hard to bring you the best possible content related to your grumbling stomach and search for a good time. Of course, hard work can be fun if you do what you love, and since we all love drinking, our recent AmeriCan debate was the most fun any of us had doing journalism since Tim toured that slaughterhouse. The pictures, taken by our own Rachel DeLetto, accompanying the story...

happy ride-your-bike-to-work day! →
Ok, so, even if your workplace is around the corner, or just around your bed (like Tim’s), you should still take some time today to celebrate this joyous weather and give a giant middle finger to winter (and evil cars/trucks). Tis the season to bike to work, free shows/movies, and all other things. Get on it!
Also, what do y’all think of the new bike street parking popping up around...
