SOOO the city of New York decided to donate there old subway cars back in 2008 to add there addition to a grave yard of ancient steel relics from all over. They transported them to a reef off the coast of Delaware entirely of old subway cars (2500 of them in fact), tanks, old ships and much more huge metal crap.

Anyways these pictures are sick and u thought you good people should be able to enjoy them.

Sale Season | NYC | Designer Clothes

joe — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:27:41 +0000

Post, post Christmas sales kick ass. Retail boutiques generally have a high influx of customers before the holiday season, then things drop off. That is the time to buy. In New York City many of the high end clothing companies are having sales in their retail outlets. I saw a pair of $600 boots in Rag & Bone for $120 last weekend with the majority of their winter footwear and winter gear on sale. A.P.C., the company that makes my favorite denim, is having a sale on shirts, sweaters and outerwear. If you are looking for some new duds and live in NYC or were thinking of taking a trip, this weekend and next weekend is the time to move. Retail is ready to bring in their Spring lines so take advantage of these sales before everything gets split up between Marshalls, GUILT, ETC. Even if you only rock what you get for a few weeks before it gets warm again, you will still have dope gear for next winter at half the price. Just a tip!

Dillon Francis | Live at Webster Hall

joe — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 14:03:42 +0000

We are fans of Dillon Francis here at TTHU. You may remember our earlier post. He was coming through town so we rolled out Saturday night to see him at Webster Hall. He took the stage at about 1:30 and performed for about an hour and a half. Mad dudes, mad babes, mad glow sticks! If you get a chance to see him live, do it! It is one big dance party!
