 Say goodbye to the old Essex Street Market: After this Sunday, May 5, the market’s longtime home on Essex Street between Delancey and Rivington streets will close as 21 of its vendors prepare for their move to a new building across the street. The market announced the closing date on its website.
The move has been in the works for years, with a new Essex Street Market planned for the tower rising at 125 Delancey Street, which is also home to the recently opened Regal Cinemas movie theater, as well as close to 200 rentals. The new market will span 37,000 square feet—a huge increase in size from the current space—and will welcome 18 new restaurateurs and food purveyors, including Roni-Sue’s Chocolates (which previously set up shop in the old market) and a new stall from the folks behind Chinatown Ice Cream Factory. The new market is expected to open sometime in the next few weeks. [MORE] |

 If you tried (and, most likely, failed) to get past the legendary gatekeeper of the world's most famous nightclub, now's your chance to make nice with the man himself - while enjoying some of that international techno music you missed out on.
This weekend, SOUND Tulum, an immersive art and music event held in Mexico, is debuting in New York City, bringing together some of the best techno DJs and producers from around the world. The two-night festival will also showcase SCHULD, a photography exhibit by Sven Marquardt, Berghain's notoriously tough doorman who has curated the coolest crowd in Berlin for years. Turns out his eye for style doesn't only apply to would-be guests waiting in line; he's also quite the established photographer.
Founded by Andrea Patti, brought to New York in partnership with Jeffrey Jah, and co-hosted by Italian supermodel Mariacarla Boscono, the event is sure to be a cool kid must, especially if you can't jet off to Tulum (or Berlin) anytime soon. [MORE] |

 WeWork’s impact—and public messaging—has traditionally focused on what happens inside its doors, extolling startup and entrepreneurial success stories. But now as the company plans to go public, the coworking firm is trying to make its neighborhood impact one of its selling points.
On the same day Bloomberg is reporting WeWork confidentially filed for an IPO back in December, the coworking company released its first Global Impact Report. Prepared by HR&A Advisors, the report offers WeWork’s case for being a force for good for the 100-plus cities where it serves more than 400,000 members. [MORE] |

 A certain square block area of Soho, just above Tribeca, has slowly been turning into Tulum. Last summer, Gitano made its NYC debut with a sprawling outdoor oasis in a lot-turned-rain forest between Grand and Canal. Despite a rough start (which included being briefly closed by the health department), the watering hole was nevertheless one of the hottest places to see-and-be-seen all season. Then, in January, Grupo Gitano unveiled yet another offshoot just across the street at The James Hotel: Gitano Jungle Room, a bi-level restaurant and lounge boasting all the tropical vibes in a year-round location. While it was then unclear whether that meant the group was abandoning its seasonal spot, the palms seemed to stick around the original space all through winter. [MORE] |

 Ever wanted to stay overnight in Rockefeller Center? Now’s your chance: Airbnb and developer RXR Realty, which manages 75 Rockefeller Plaza, have teamed up to turn 10 stories of that 33-story building—currently home to the American Girl store, among other businesses—into Airbnb-operated rentals.
The partnership will function less in the way that Airbnb typically operates, with one person renting out a room or entire home, and more like a hotel. (It will, however, need approval from the city before it can proceed.) [MORE] |

 For a whole generation of computer game addicts, Nintendo’s Game Boy presses the brain’s nostalgia button like no other device. Its eight-bit chiptune sound has been burned into their brains and has resulted in a thriving scene of hackers who modify Game Boys into music-making devices.
Nanoloop began life as a music-making cartridge for the Game Boy in the late 90s and has recently evolved into a fully-fledged, hand-held music-making device.The Nanoloop 3 went four times over its original funding target on Kickstarter and is now in production. It was designed by Hamburg musician Oliver Wittchow, who programmed the original Nanoloop music sequencing software for Game Boys with a friend while studying for an art degree in the late '90s.

 Ukranian DJ-producer Vakula has faced heavy criticism for the artwork of his 'Per Aspera Ad Astra' EP, which depicts four former Mixmag cover stars - The Black Madonna, Nastia, Peggy Gou and Nina Kraviz - operating a phallic spaceship.
The EP was released on the Croatian label Barba Records under the producer's Mikhaylo Vityk's Rocco Siffredi alias, named after a controversial porn star who is known for brutal depictions of rough sex in his work and once famously said "what you call violence, I call pain with pleasure".
The release's illustration shows the four DJs with wires attached to their heads while riding the phallic spaceship. When sharing the artwork, Vakula wrote on Instagram: "I dedicated this project to my beloved women, where we tried to portray the most beautiful dick that those girls on the cover could ever meet." Vakula made his Instagram private following the post. [MORE] |

 On Friday night, Manhattan royalty (and actual royalty) decked themselves out in flowers, feathers, and lace - and no, it had nothing to do with Coachella. Save Venice's annual Ballo in Maschera went down at The Plaza Hotel, and everyone who's anyone donned their most glamorous masquerade looks for the occasion.
Sponsored by Moda Operandi, Oscar de la Renta, and Bulgari, the event was certainly a stylish one, and we're not just talking about the looks donned by Lauren Santo Domingo, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, and Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece. The Plaza's ballroom was transformed into a Venetian playground by events firm Van Wyck & Van Wyck, featuring garlands of red roses and a glittering Venus de Milo. Combine that with all the over-the-top masks and headpieces, and you've definitely got a night to remember. [MORE] |

 Pinterest is a great place to find digital art but a terrible place to sell it. The fact that anything online is infinitely copyable makes it tough for artists to establish a sense of scarcity necessary for their work to be perceived as valuable. Yash Nelapati saw this struggle up close as Pinterest’s first employee. Now he has started MakersPlace, where creators can generate a blockchain fingerprint for each of their artworks that proves who made it and lets it be sold as part of a limited edition.
Similar to Etsy, MakersPlace allows artists to sell their creations while the startup takes a 15 percent cut. Collectors receive a non-fungible cryptocurrency token connoting ownership of a limited-edition digital print of the artwork that they can store in their own crypto wallet or in one on MakersPlace. The MakersPlace site officially launches today after a year of beta testing. [MORE] |

 In the future, everyone will have a podcast — and by “future,” I mean like mid-2020. But one step at a time, starting with Facebook founder, CEO and definite human person, Mark Zuckerberg .
Facebook announced the podcast’s Spotify link on Twitter. How’s that for platform synergy? The rather dryly named “Tech and Society with Mark Zuckerberg” will feature, well, conversations on tech and society with Mark Zuckerberg. Honestly, folks, it’s right there in the name.
“Hey everyone,” Zuck says, opening the second of two posted episodes. “This year I am doing a series of public discussions on the future of internet and society,” referring to what looks to be a finite lineup of episodes. The executive explains in the first episode that the show constitutes this year’s “personal challenge,” an annual homework assignment that has resulted in things like Zuckerberg learning Mandarin and writing a home AI.
