Mark my words: In Sex and the City 4, the girls are gonna do the same shit again in a different country or location, but SJP’s going to be chomping down on a macraron. No, not the tiny little Jewish coconut kind; the fancy French kind (more about the difference here) popular at frou-frou bakeries [...]
Last Friday, around 9 p.m., some friends and I happened upon a concert at East River State Park in Williamsburg. A Weezer concert. It was at capacity, so we found our way to a bench about a block away where we could still see and hear the concert. A bench behind a soccer field. The [...]
I spent what seemed like a billion hours hawking nut pate and iced coffee at the Greenpoint Food Market last Saturday. Which was a wonderful way to meet even more lovely people doing groovy food things in these parts; sample a billion cupcakes (and a macaroon, but more on this later); and generally taste, see [...]

Brooklyn Home Companion took a short vacation to New Paltz this weekend. It is a place we visit every summer to revisit camping under stars, practice our rock climbing, swim in glorious waterfalls, and quietly weave daisy chains. Depending on where you are here—the earth smells like fresh vegetables, neighboring clouds, brewing yerba mate, the [...]
Meet our newest friend and world traveler. K Peter Dahlström. Sintra, Portugal. 1998.
We’ve been noticed, darlings! Perhaps recession solidarity is behind overalls percolating on the street and trickling down from the runway. Long associated with farmers, Rosie the Riveter and OshKosh B’gosh babies, the uniform is having a moment: the blog Brooklyn Home Companion has declared that “2010 is the Year of the Overall.” The blog, chronicler [...]
In The Gap: (want – though I’d wear it all summer with a bikini top, not a crew-neck tee) In Forever 21: On this guy who is some kind of artist and throws parties I want to go to: He is also the host of the Doo Nanny, the annual alt/folk art “micro” festival, as [...]
So Niels Windfeld Lund, aka The Bib Professor, is visiting New York for a conference and asked your Brooklyn Home Companion bloggers here if we would support him organizing an overalls party in Greenpoint while he’s in town. Of course! This is the kind of just-random-enough-to-be-fun endeavor we fully support. So, if you happen to [...]

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: 2010 is the year of the overall. But don’t just take our word for it; both Vogue and Glamour are touting the trend. Well, touting may be a strong word. Says Glamour‘s fashion blog: When overalls popped up at a few spring 2010 shows, I kinda [...]

Our crumbly little railroad apartment is happy this winter. Its tenants lay shoulder to shoulder, grinning ear to ear. For awhile, I could not figure out why. Oh yes! Be a host and fill your space with creative people. Invite warm bodies over and often. The positivity is infectious and the ideas swarm like hungry [...]
The video for Animal Collective’s “Brothersport.” Please note the overalls. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGQjyGT1-mc] [My roommate Ian's take on this song, from New Year's day 2009: http://vimeo.com/2724205. We were so young then].
I just picked up two pairs of overalls for under $10 at the Salvation Army on Bedford in Williamsburg. If I’m being completely honest with you, I must admit that I did not, in fact, actually own any overalls myself until today. More photos of some of my lovely Goddamn Cobras compatriots modeling the latest [...]
