• Tygershark is a Two-Headed Feast

  Tygershark
  581 Vanderbilt Ave., (718) 576-6233, Prospect Heights
  Tygershark. The divergently misspelled name evokes a powerful, conjoined entity, or perhaps two creatures, locked in a fight for dominance. And at the so-dubbed Prospect Heights establishment, both definitions are alternately played out—starting with the space: the front is segmented off into a ‘hey brah’ sort of café, decorated with surf boards and potted palms, and selling cold brew coffee and pastries.

• Still Running: On Bruce Springsteen’s New Memoir, Born to Run

  07-10-2016 17:00 via bkmag.com
  
  When I was a kid, my dad used to make us listen to Bruce Springsteen records while we pulled weeds in the driveway in the summer. I loved Billy Joel and Jackson Browne and Jim Croce and the Eagles and I hated pulling weeds and Bruce Springsteen. Once, having breakfast at my best friend’s house after a sleepover when we were around ten, her dad—a true-blue New Yorker transplant in suburban Boston—played a song and asked us if we knew who was singing. My best friend had no idea.

  Maps take us places. They bring us home, lure us to cities we’ve never been to before, remind us how to return to corners we’ve seen once, but couldn’t revisit without directions. Of course, in many ways, music does the same thing. Through song, we’re able to return to our childhoods, remember our first crush, an era we miss, spend time with a person we’ve lost or people we still love. This collection of more than fifty essays by writers who have strongly associated

• Musical Map Of The USA: New Mexico—Nanci Griffith

  07-10-2016 16:00 via bkmag.com
  
  My maternal grandmother never fully adapted to life in New Mexico. The minks gave her away. She moved to Albuquerque with three young children in the mid-1950s, following her husband all the way from Manhattan (with a brief detour in Nebraska) in pursuit of cleaner air and a noble call to defend tax legislation in the Wild West.
  Albuquerque is the kind of place where lawyers can wear bolo ties and gallon hats to court, though my grandfather never did. Still, he took to his new surroundings: he a

  Blue JayDirected by Alex LehmannOpens October 7
  I admit it: Through all of the hoopla over Sarah Paulson’s much-deserved Emmy that capped off a banner year, I’ve still been thinking of her as the leading lady from Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, the virtuosic sketch-comedian funnywoman who seemed profoundly humorous and, per one particularly terrible episode, could not tell a simple setup-punchline joke properly. That – every aspect of the character, really – was an absur
