"Burger purists have a historical cast of mind. Theyâre always walking around with a patriotic and antiquarian bent thinking about old-time, classic hamburgers, like the kind that was eaten by Wimpy and Jugghead. Burger purist arenât really fit to live in this world. Thereâs a kind of poetic idealism to them and a sense of innocence that was lost by the American Adam." Those of the words of Josh Ozersky, aka âMr. Cutletsâ - a James Beard Award winning food writer and cultural historian, whose books include, Meat Me in Manhattan, A Carnivoreâs Guide to New York, The Hamburger: A History, and Archie Bunkerâs America: TV in Era of Changing Times. As the former restaurantâs editor of Citysearch.com and editor of The Feedbag, Josh has eaten at just about every restaurant in the city, but what he knows best is meat, especially hamburgers. He knows so much about them, that some might even consider him an expert on the topic. A good burger according to Josh "deserves a kind of Shinto-like approach. Think ...
Veronica Vasicka is a photographer, musician, DJ and founder of the epic record label and on-line music resource Minimal Wave. As one of the founding members of East Village Radio, she managed the station during its pirate days and began collecting obscure and long forgotten gems that fell somewhere between the Cold Wave, Post Punk and Minimal Synth genres. Not knowing what to classify these bands as, she coined the genre Minimal Wave and set up the website Minimalwave.org as an online resource to share her finds with the rest of the world. The response to the website was huge and shortly after its launch, Veronica began tracking these artists down and re-issuing their work on the Minimal Wave label. Most of these bands recorded extremely limited copies of their work in their basements and shared their work with the world via John Peel's radio show and a handful of underground music mailings. The music released on the label is a stripped down, DIY and purer approach to mainstream synth pop. ...

For over 30 years, the art duo of Peter McGough and David McDermott have been living as though itâs the end of the 19th century. From an 1800âs townhouse in the East Village they created their art by candlelight, lived without modern appliances and traveled through Manhattan on horseback complete with top hats and the finest couture from nearly a century ago. As painters, photographers, playwrights and filmmakers, the artists came of age during the same East Village art scene that made superstars of Keith Haring (their one-time roommate) and Julian Schnabel (whoâs championed their work). Notorious in their own right and exhibited locally through Chelseaâs prestigious Chime & Reid Gallery, McDermott & McGough have been the subjects of countless stories told both in print and oral legend. Though the artistâs are quick to dismiss the notion of dandyism, with the success of Lord Whimsyâs The Affected Provincialâs Almanack, which is being made into a movie starring Johnny Depp, and the trend of throwback ...
