Baby Alpaca
Photography by John Felix Words by Kate Hegarty My first interaction with Baby Alpaca, the band led by singer and songwriter Chris Kittrell, is over email, when he mistakes me for a violin player. He has invited me to their studio to practice with the band and says the violin accompaniment would be a great addition. I wonder how he feels about a writer instead of someone trained at the strings. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, he invites me to sit in on practice nonetheless. I [...]

Girl Talk with Britt Lower
Photography by Charlie Rubin Words by Nicole Bailey Britt Lower is an actress and artist who hails from Illinois and now resides in Williamsburg. She can currently be seen as Tanya Sitkowsky on the CBS drama "Unforgettable." We sat down over a cup of coffee (well, she had tea) and chatted about girlie things, face painting and the time she met Patti Smith. WC: So Britt, where are you from? BL: Twenty minutes south of Normal, Illinois. It’s a town called Heyworth. There were like [...]
RIP 5 Pointz
Photography and words by Caroline Bach Imagine this: an industrial neighborhood attracts the eye of some artists because of cheap rent, availability of raw material and relatively easy access to the city. These visionary artists begin to settle and transform the area, resulting in a more habitable neighborhood. This attracts the eye of a few renegade entrepreneurs and craftspeople who bring to life their own visions, supplying a few goods and services to the community. With the availability [...]
On The Streets
Photography by Blessing Marie What's your favorite thing about being a guy? That’s what we wanted to know. Working Class hit the streets to see what boys in Brooklyn had to say.

Store Profile: Life:Curated
Photography by Blessing Marie Words by Ryan Michael Commins Design is essential here. It's obvious just by looking at the front window display and, once you're inside Life:Curated, it's reinforced that this is not just another clothing store in Williamsburg. The interior is a work of art. Designed by the girls at Domestic Construction, the ceiling is a mesmerizing set of varied ropes set into parallel tracks beckoning you further in a loop around the store. From the layout to the laid [...]
Store Profile: Hollander and Lexer and Darr
Photography by Winnie Au Words by Katie Stolowits If there was a men's wardrobe that I could handpick myself, it would be found at Hollander and Lexer, as the garments collected define my "If I was a guy, this is what I would wear" style. The store, the second of its namesake, has gathered the best of Rogan, Rag and Bone and Paul Smith in a very cool, dark wooded and gold embellished environment. The inventory defines the metro sexual aesthetic (which FYI, is a good thing, as the [...]
On the Streets
If you could live in New York in any era, when would it be? That's what we wanted to know. Working Class hit the streets to see what people in Brooklyn had to say. Jahmal "78' or 79', back when the foundations and key elements of hip hop were being laid." Carla "When the settlers first arrived here. To see the landscape before it was so completely transformed forever by man." Mark "The 20's. It would be cool to experience prohibition, and the jazz. Plus the fashion was great [...]
Sprout Home
Words by Sandra Larriva Henaine Several decibels away from the cacophonous Bedford Avenue scene, but only a short walk from the L Train stop is Sprout Home, arguably the neighborhood's greenest shop. Co-owned by Brooklyn resident Tassy Zimmerman and her partner Tara Heibel, who runs their Chicago store, this indoor and outdoor plant heaven in Williamsburg has everything an urban gardener could ever hope for, from recycled glass terrariums, to aphid-eating lady bugs, to city gardening books, [...]
Ghost Bikes
Photography and Text by Marcel Dagenais Riding a bike in the city can be intense. Since moving here, I have had three minor accidents involving cars. Two in New York City, one in the BK. I'm lucky to say that nothing horrible happened in any of them. I did get some pretty fucked up injuries that I still can feel today, but at least I'm alive. Walking down the streets of any metropolitan city, you may have stumbled on a bike painted all white locked up to a street sign, adorned [...]
