• Yes!: New York City Will Get a Glorious Golden Girls Café

  Themes can be fun—themed birthdays, baby showers, bat mitzvahs. Themes help us, maybe, sink into the act of whatever it is we’re doing more readily, ham it up a little more, possibly. But these days, themes do not begin and end with parties. Entire businesses have taken them on; most recently, we learned a Breaking Bad-themed café, Walter’s, will open soon in Williamsburg. And, do you know any young people? If so, you’re aware of the American Girl doll Caf&ea

With the intuitive grace of a squad that’s been doing this for years, servers ensure that everyone’s glass of Wolffer Estate rose cider remains perpetually filled.

• Summer in the City: Dog Attacks, Painkillers & My First Terrible New York Fling

  21-06-2016 17:05 via bkmag.com
  
  My first summer in New York was sickeningly hot–I remember it as one long heatwave, the air shimmering above the concrete.

  In 1983, Life magazine assigned photographer Mary Ellen Mark and writer Cheryl McCall to cover the youth homelessness problem in Seattle, a city chosen specifically because it had recently been named the country’s “most livable,” thus illustrating the hushed-up ubiquity of the epidemic. Soon after, Mark and her husband, director Martin Bell, were commissioned to make a film covering the same ground. The result was the brutal-but-beautiful Streetwise, a film full of thrilling v
