Attn Brooklyn-based Momofuko fans - are you like me and refuse to go into the City on the weekends? Are you having an insane ramen craving? No worries, this Sunday, Brooklyn is bringing Momofuko to us, with Bed Stuy’s awesome and super weird Do or Dine recreating the original Momofuko menu to mark Do or Dine’s one year anniversary. This may be your only chance to enjoy Momofuko in BK (for cheap!), and to see if Do or Dine can do Momofuko justice.
Smorgasburg + boat cruise = Smorgasboat. On June 13th, Smorgasburg is holding a sunset cruise from Williamsburg to the Statue of Liberty featuring Smorgasburg food vendors, Brooklyn Brewery and Brooklyn Roasting Co. A $45 ticket covers you for food, drinks, and the afterparty on the rooftop at the King & Grove, and tickets benefit City Harvest. Looks like a pretty good way to celebrate summer in Brooklyn.
Awesome Brooklyn brand Hill-Side has launched a new series of collaborations called Hill-Side & Co with 25 of their favorite labels. The collection hits the net and in-store at Hickorees Floor Two tomorrow. Everything looks awesome (especially these).
If you want to see the LCD Soundsystem documentary SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS, you only have one night to do it. Only July 18th, the film is being screened at select theaters around the country, if you don’t see your city on the list, you can “demand” a screening through Eventful. See you there.
12x12 is an incredibly cool project of 12 local NYC designers creating furniture out of reclaimed lumber from 12 demolished NYC buildings. At their recent show at the 2012 Wanted Design event, they exhibited a chair made from an old Brooklyn water tower, as well as a table made from the Coney Island boardwalk (shown above). Each of these unique pieces will be auctioned off to support Brooklyn Woods, a woodshop training and education center.
Take a peek into Williamsburg’s brand new Wythe Hotel.
Seeing Caveman at the Brooklyn Museum this past weekend was awesome. They’ve got a great sound live.

More awesome things to do this weekend: The Brooklyn Flea Record Fair is being held this Saturday in Williamsburg at Smorgasburg (regular Flea will still be in Ft. Greene). There will be tons of selections from record labels like Captured Tracks, Domino, Jagjaguwar, Secretly Canadian and way more. Come check it out and score some great vinyl!
This weekend I’m having one of those great problems where there is literally just too much going on. I’ll be at the Great Googa Mooga all weekend, but on Saturday morning, if you’re free head down to the Brooklyn Bike Jumble in Park Slope! It’s essentially a giant bike flea market, with new and vintage bikes, parts, and gear. Plus, half the fun is checking out everyone else’s rides. I went last year and had a blast.
