Rockaway Taco, A Selby Film from the selby on Vimeo.

Did you make it down to Rockaway this summer? No? They are still open, so for the love of god, go get a black bean plantain quesadilla.

There’s just about an app for everything these days, isn’t there?

Brooklyn Bowl is the latest to join ranks with their app that lets you do everything from check out their schedule to use the app as a digital lighter to wave at concerts. AND from tonight to Friday, the first 50 people to show off their shiny iphone with the Brooklyn Bowl app get in free. That means you can possible see for zero dollars: Talib Kweli, Carney, Questlove, and Eliot Lipp. No love for the Android users yet, huh? Download is here.

Perhaps a little late to make a pie yourself, but not to late to go eat. The raffle items don’t look half-bad, either.

Fashion Night Out’s is Vogue Editor in Chief Anna Wintour’s scheme to make “shopping fun again.” So, to do this, a ton of stores stay open late and get prospective shoppers boozy on free cocktails while hoping they make some rash purchase choices.

Even Gawker is in on it. Our neck of the woods has also hopped on the bandwagon and are throwing down.

Williamsburg didn’t get their act together to make a nice little flyer like Franklin St. but you can find all the events at the FNO site and plan according now that shopping is fun again.

Over on Melodie McDaniel’s portfolio I found a photo essay of Williamsburg in 1992. The black and white photos are of the Hasidic community, making the ‘burg look like one of the old European Jewish quarters. I’d guess that the same type of photo essay could be done today easily with similar results, those crazy kids have just not picked up the iphone craze.

Go listen to Filthy South and I’ll see you tonight.

A nice little mix on Soundcloud to start this late summer Friday.

Our own little Miss Wasilewicz got interviewed by Mashable on how to be a music blogger and name dropped some essential music blogs. And what do you know, the first thing that I listen to on Altered Zones, recommended by Yours Truly, was the jam. Listen to the Young Man – Boy album on Soundcloud below.

Who would have thought last summer when shooting this one shot bonanza that we were predicting and, some might say, trumping a beverage trend that wouldn’t happen for another year. Icing? Pffh. I would be more worried about getting Tecate Bukkaked.

A gender studies graduate student could definitely write a dissertation about the possibility of feminine empowerment via a typically male dominated substance as demonstrated in this video.

Careful ice cream kids, remember what happened to the Greenpoint Food Market after the Times showed some love?
