Friday marked a day when New York City felt united, despite the constant clashing between different sports fans. I’m not a New York native, but I have even heard about the city’s long-time sports rivalries. And on Friday, it seemed like most of the city had something to celebrate, and to someone who isn’t that […]
Bodegas Deserve the Same Respect as Gourmet Markets
Gourmet markets often receive praise for their curated selection and upscale ambiance, but they lack culture and familiarity. Bodegas on the other hand are flowing with culture and the feeling of closeness and family, yet they don’t get equal respect for their community role. If you don’t know what a bodega is, it’s a small […]
The Surrealism Of Bring Her Back
Picture this sequence: it’s April Fool’s Day. A24 drops a trailer for a project that looks like a typical newlywed couple moving into a new house. At first glance you feel as if it’s going one way but as you watch the rest of the trailer – it goes into a completely different direction. There […]

Not only are there different theaters, but they host more shows other than just musicals […]

The U.S. Supreme Court isn’t drifting toward crisis; it’s already there. With approval ratings at historic lows, ethics scandals clouding justices’ reputations, and a pattern of partisan rulings reshaping American life, public faith in the court has crumbled. The U.S. Supreme Court used to be a symbol of impartial justice, but recent polls and public […]
Jalen Brunson Needs to Come Correct
In the realm of the NBA playoffs, Game 5s are incredibly crucial. In a best-of-seven series, the fifth game is considered the deciding factor of who wins the matchup. Especially when a series is tied at 2-2—the team winning that game goes on to advance to the next round by 84.1 percent. Home court advantage […]

Independent Artist Music Grants Would Add Flavor and Diversity Back into Pop Culture
The music industry in America is always looking for the next big thing. Artists have to bring something innovative to every new release or be called stagnant and uninspired. This push for innovation can have the opposite effect and make every song that becomes popular formulaic and predictable because what gets pushed out on the […]
The Future of VR
The many efforts of revolutionary game development have taken forms that go beyond just the controller and screen. Many people still remember Nintendo’s power glove and all the earlier versions of virtual reality that tried to implement more of the player’s actual movements into the games.
