To celebrate MessyNessyChic’s next book finally heading off to the printers, I thought we’d switch this week’s “Collector’s item du Jour” series with a special sneak peek at Don’t be a Tourist in New York. So I’ve combed through the manuscript and plucked out my favourite collector’s addresses … for your Keyholder eyes only! 1.

People forget that in 1979, New York was burning. To relive it today would almost be like entering an unrecognisable dystopian society where street gangs ruled the city after the sun went down. Times Square’s Disney stores were occupied by peep shows and drug dens, and you could go as far as saying that some…
Ah, Death. The last taboo – or one of them, and especially in America. “I think a lot of people assume I’m out here hunting animals, which just isn’t the case,” Amber Maykut tells us in her New York City taxidermy studio, “I study them. I love them.” Her workspace is tucked away in a…
Search “psychic” in New York City on Google Maps, and you’ll be flooded with addresses of not only psychics, but astrologers, tarot card readers, palm readers, and others invested in the business of the esoteric. This is a city where the supernatural thrives, where even in the midst of skyrocketing rent prices, a psychic –

Main Street, Amsterdam There’s something a little off about some of the storefronts on Main Street in the town of Amsterdam in Upstate New York. There are mannequins dressed in the windows, but at a second glance, the store spaces behind them look eerily empty and dark. Another sign taped to the door of a

We thought we’d seen it all when it comes to unusual and unique hotels. Then, we found Wing’s Castle of New York. This storybook cottage had us rubbing our eyes– are those elephants? The castle began, as so many magical things did, as a 1969 reverie… We did a bit of digging on Wing’s history and current state,…
Peer inside and your senses inevitably tumble inside a place that’s more time capsule than bar. In the warm glow of a colour we’ll just call, “Yellow, 1979”, exists a world apart from the modern and fast-paced New York City we know. You’ll hear the salsa rhythm of a lively San Juan watering hole and

We’re so nearly finished with the Don’t be a Tourist in New York book, and while its contents must remain top secret, with temperatures plummeting so low, I felt we owed this little teaser to out New Yawkers. So come on in and warm up at New York’s coziest spots this weekend…

The one charm about the past, said Oscar Wilde, is just that: it’s the past. But clearly, he never met Tony Garofalo. For over half a century, Tony has been behind the wheel, or swivel chair, rather, of the little Brooklyn Barber Shop that could… Quietly sandwiched between a deli and car service shop, you

It’s a day like any other in Borough Park, Brooklyn. Yiddish-painted school buses go to-and-fro, and women tighten the tichels around their heads; every man is silhouetted by a pair of perfectly curled sideburns, and the local grocer has a two-for-one deal on blintzes. Tel-Aviv notwithstanding, the Big Apple is home to our planet’s largest Hasidic
