Along with The Shaltzes siblings, the Mishka flagship store set up a Juggalo trap by offering free Faygo and vodka and hanging pictures on the walls.

In case you haven’t noticed, we love us some Nicky Digital here at FREEwilly. The venerable nightlife photog, who can be found at every possible venue/party/etc. at any given moment (sometimes 4 a night), is being celebrated at a photo exhibit showcasing his work tonight at the W Hotel in Times Square.

So RSVP and head uptown to drink some cocktails and see if you can spot yourself donning the walls of the hotel’s Living Room.

And while you’re at it, and since we know your Facebook photo probably has a Nicky Digital logo on it as we speak, you can vote for Mr. Digital as Best Nightlife Website over at Paper Mag.

Afterparty goes all night at the Blind Barber in the East Village!

The landscape of Williamsburg, Brooklyn has been radically transformed in the last decade. Located at the epicenter of New York City’s recent development boom, the neighborhood saw countless industrial buildings and row houses torn down by developers. In their place, dozens of luxury condominium towers were constructed, permanently altering the skyline. By July 2009, however, “The Billyburg Bust” was reported by New York Magazine, which wrote that the area was “littered with half-built shells of a vanished boom.” Like any gold rush, the aftermath of the frenzied push to develop Williamsburg has left permanent scars on the land.

Williamsburg has the highest concentration of stalled development sites in New York City, according to a 2010 report in The Real Deal.
