  On Friday morning I was awake very early and on my way to the airport, which means I watched Adele’s devastating video for “Hello” in a particularly vulnerable state. Flip phone and all, she’s always had a way of cutting right to the quick of what makes us ache. “Hello” expertly captures the way phones have permeated our relationships–romantic or otherwise–and also manages to convey how hard it is to reach out to someone who br

  Of all the foods associated with New York, perhaps none is more beloved than the classic cheesecake. It’s simple, rich, and was the go-to comfort dessert for the Golden Girls. What more could anyone want? And when talking about the creamy dessert it’s hard not to immediately picture Junior’s flashy red and orange façade. And why not? It’s the home of New York’s best cheesecake—the dessert that made them famous—and where pre

• BeeLine: the App that Makes Biking in Brooklyn So Much Easier

  02-11-2015 21:16 via bkmag.com
  
  New York isn’t always the ideal biking destination; at times it can even feel like a cyclist’s nightmare. It’s a pretty heavy burden to bear not to receive any respect when all we’re trying to do is get to our destination, just like everyone else.
  And while there is nothing that will completely take away the difficulties of navigating the city landscape—I mean, more sanctioned bike lanes could certainly help—there is now an app that w
