Weekend to Remember
This weekend is all about Brooklyn, the borough that packs energy into its music events during the day or night, who serves up serious BBQ and beer among other flavor hits. Brooklyn is the center of this weekend's event guide and we've sourced concerts, food experiences, feel-good fundraising parties, artsy mixers and more. 
If you're looking for fun in the sun, low key mingling or a beer and a bite, there is something on the list for you to attend. Book your tickets or RSVP, grab your best fit, water, and your wallet before heading down to enjoy one of the final weekends of the summer.
Ice Cream Arrives in Soho
It’s not just for a walkthrough and visitors won’t be reading descriptions of ice cream flavor and their origins! Those that visit the new flagship location can expect an absolute submersion in creamy, sweet and rich ice creams. The permanent Soho space comes after the Museum of Ice Cream’s pop-up became a hit, selling 30,000 tickets within five days. 
Since they’ve set the tone for foodie-themed museums with their success, it’s no gamble that a permanent location will thrive. The museum’s collaborations with Sephora and Target have highlights a few ways which our love for ice cream can manifest unforeseen relationships. The Museum of Ice Cream will distinguish itself as a longtime favorite with perks like a 25,000 square foot sprinkle pool, a three-story tall slide and much more! It’s going to be a substantial sensation once those doors open.
Chicken Like Never Before
Taste the chicken with andouille sausage from Efrén Hernández at Babs! Sample the perfectly poached chicken breast with charred cucumber, ginger buttermilk sauce and avocado inspired by Hainanese chicken rice served at Coast and Valley. Lastly, experience a D’Artagnan bird cooked as an herbs de Provence roast adorned with a Meyer lemon, roasted tomatoes, and olive chicken stock from Estuary. 
Although chicken can please some of the pickiest eaters, it doesn’t have to be boring while getting the job done. In it’s organic, hormone-free and farm-raised simplicity, some of the aforementioned locations and many others are using global cuisine to reinvent and spice up poultry. Read more about how sustainable meat is making a comeback int he food scene thanks to innovative chefs.
New Authentic Tacos
With a pair of birria tacos priced at $4 and a cup of consomme for $3, eaters cannot go wrong by taking a trip down to Jackson Heights, Queens. The strip famous for its food trucks has been joined by Mexican flavors all the way from West Coast. 
New Yorkers chasing authentic tacos have been aware of the lack of birria available from existing venues. The highlight of the Beefrria-Landia cart and their menu is their birria, a style of cooking which created a chile-infused goat or beef that is a signature from Jalisco. The tacos go best paired with a bowl of their cilantro and meat soup, making it an extremely affordable and satisfying experience altogether.

Hello New York,
Let’s all take a long hard look in the mirror at ourselves while Rebecca Shortall, a transplant from England, tells us about all of the things New Yorkers repeatedly say to her in the city. 🇺🇸🗽
Who will you call, when the water is too cold, the garbage hasn’t been picked up out front and the cracked sidewalk you keep tripping over? You’ll find all the help you need in this guide to complaints in NYC. ✍📞
When is an NYC apartment too tiny? Crooked landlords have created micro-apartments, but they aren’t sticking around for long.🏢📰

What New Yorkers Say
We like to think of ourselves a certain way, and when someone challenges that image, it's not always pleasant. New Yorkers have a strong sense of who we are, but still, it's fun to get a perspective from fresh eyes. Moving to New York City wasn't without its cultural adjustments for Rebecca Shortall, mainly centered around social habits. Apparently, the native New Yorkers Rebecca met along the way were serving up commentary that is not necessarily encouraged or seen as usual in England. 
The compliments she received on the streets shocked her. Oh, we speak our minds without being asked to about aesthetics and other superficial things that aren't our business? No surprise there. What else? Since she was in a new city Rebecca accepted advice. Rebecca noted recommendations to eat at a specific spot, over and over. Out of all the places to grab a bite, people told her she had to eat at Shake Shack. Yeah, yummy but a must-have? Who was it she spoke with? Let's do better as a society! 
Voice Your Concerns
The city is beautiful, and we are blessed to live here. Still, there are cracked sidewalks swallowing heels clean off, potholes devouring commuters and noisy construction that only seems to take place during your 6-hour sleep window. How then can you protect your slice of paradise life here in the Big Apple? Well, you arm yourself with every need-to-know phone number, office, and department that will listen to, file, and address your complaints. 
We've got info on the people that will lend you an ear when it gets way too noisy on your block. Connect with the handy repair relations database that will instruct you on how to ensure you get your apartment repairs completed with respect for your landlord. Plus the people on the job for all of your too-hot, too-cold or too-hard water needs are listed in there too. There is also a line for bed-bug concerns, trash pick-ups plus your deep desires to request a tree be planted on your street. This article has got those and more complaint solutions for you.
City Cancels Micro Living
It's an ongoing joke of sorts that New York doesn't have enough space for its inhabitants and there is a ton of truth to this. Yes, some apartments in New York City are tiny, but there are limits to the madness. Eighteen single apartments in Manhattan were recently at the center of the scandal. The illegal units are being labeled micro-apartments. 
With some ceilings as low as 4 and a half feet high, the symptoms of the housing crisis in the city continue. Some of the dangerous apartments were without windows, proper fire alarm systems, and lacked necessary safety measures. The landlords of these apartments units have been fined for renting them out at all. The unlucky tenants displaced by the bust are currently being looked after by the Red Cross. 
Cars Causing Chaos
A quarter-century ago, bikers were dying due to the misconduct of vehicles on the road. In today's world, despite the work of activists, bicyclists are still facing injury and fatality. Due to congested roads, road rage, careless drives and improper use of biking lanes in what is now known as "car culture" lives are lost. From personal experience bike riding in NYC for the last 40 years, Charles Komanoff calls for reorganization and limitation on NYC streets. He's not alone. As tension's rise around the recent deaths of people on our roads, protests are aiming to address loose laws. 
Laws that aren't penalizing and restricting road criminals who have driving violations and a history of endangering others on the road enable the accidents to reoccur. Activists seek to minimize the privatized parking, which holds crucial space indefinitely in cramped streets. Lastly, slack green regulations on vehicles aren't doing enough to reduce noise pollution, emissions or make cleaner safe spaces for families on foot or bicycles. In a shared city, there is no longer a place for "car culture," instead regulations and motorists should work toward the creation of an inclusive culture for those on foot, bike, scooter, and board.
