Is @hellgatenyc.com or someone else working on the Gen X/Xennial “Bars That Shaped a Generation” oral history feature? I’m hearing Siberia, Continental, Alibi, Fish Bar, so many others…

paris martineau @paris.nyc · 13d

my real nyc RETVRN take is we need to reopen The Continental, the saint marks bar with the infamous 5 shots for $10 deal

Good article about James Dolan, paranoid lunatic. Also, a tremendous photo of Mr. Dolan. Why does every Long Island old dude have teeth like these now????

At @nygroove.nyc, James Dolan's tenure has been shot through with a "culture of paranoia." Once MSG installed facial recognition tech, he scaled up. Now a lawsuit reveals just how far he'll go to target his perceived enemies. In Dolan's mind, he has so, so many enemies nygroove.nyc/james-dolan-...

They spent $1.8M on the website domain & over $1M on “the largest NYC subway ad campaign ever.”

Meanwhile, it doesn’t work & isn’t shipping. It’s Theranos, but for a surveillance necklace.

Altogether, it feels less like a real ad & more like a PsyOp test that my beloved New Yorkers have passed. ❤️
