Do you hear that? It’s the sound of hipsters’ heads exploding nationwide. The Pour Mason, by Intelligent Design Company, combines a few of a hipster’s favorite things — pour-over coffee and mason jars.
The Pour Mason adds an aluminum and nickel pour cone to the mason jar’s screw top. The result is not only the hippest way to brew your coffee, but it then creates the perfect travel mug to help you fit in at the rooftop garden.
You’re looking for a nice meal out, and you’ve heard really good things about the new place down the street. However, upon sitting down, you quickly realize that nice restaurant is owned, operated and occupied by hipsters. But, it’s too late to escape… You’ve already checked your coat and they’ve brought you water.
So, settle in and try to enjoy your evening. Simply follow How To Eat At A Hipster Restaurant by artist Nathan Pyle — which should help navigate your pretentious and adverb-laden evening.
The series was to be part of the ebook, NYC Basic Tips and Etiquette, which you can check out more of here.
While the Cronut is still causing mile-long lines in New York City, the knock-offs and other franken-croissants were sure to follow.
Please, help us welcome The Cragel to the hybrid treat madness. Created by The Bagel Store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn — the Cragel is equal parts bagel and croissant.
Stop by and get one before the Brooklyn hipsters eat them all. Or, have they already abandoned them because they’ve become too popular?
In case you haven’t been keeping up… Street artist/shit-stirrer Banksy has unleashed a month-long assault on New York City. One of his latest installments is a large fiberglass sculpture of Ronald McDonald getting his shoes shined — literally.
The Ronald McDonald is meant to be “a critique of the heavy labor required to sustain the polished image of a mega-corporation.”
It made its debut in the Bronx on Wednesday, and will appear randomly in front of various McDonald’s locations throughout the city over the next week.
Creating upscale menu items with lowly McDonald’s ingredients is nothing new — but Kung Pao McNuggets are involved here.
A few NYC chefs were recently invited to an upscale event, where they were given the challenge of creating gourmet meals using McDonald’s. The results, as you might expect, are an interesting mix of surprisingly edible-looking meals, to putting lipstick on a pig.
