Check Out The Lady Gaga Album Listening Party At Her Family’s Dinner Theater, Joanne Trattoria

Attention Little Monsters: a Lady Gaga album listening party is slated for Mayhem’s release date on March 7th in NYC. What better place to celebrate such an occasion than her family’s Upper West Side dinner theater, Joanne Trattoria? We’d personally love an evening of carbs and new bops from one of our favorite vocalists.

It’s rumored that the singer’s forthcoming release is akin to her early music. In a press release, Gaga hinted at a return to her roots and stated, “[It] started as me facing my fear of returning to the pop music my earliest fans loved.” According to the star, the bringing Mayhem to life was like “reassembling a shattered mirror: Even if you can’t put the pieces back together perfectly, you can create something beautiful and whole in its own new way.”

Although we don’t know too much about the album just yet — and we’ve only heard “Abracadabra” at the 2025 Grammy’s — we can assure you that listening to the 14-track album, accompanied by a bowl of lasagna and Mayhem-themed cocktails at the Germanotta family’s speakeasy dinner theater is the absolute best way to ring in the vocalist’s milestone.

Throughout the evening, which is hosted by Drag Me to Joanne’s Creator and Producer, Jupiter Genesis, listeners will also be able to participate in a live auction to get their hands on Mayhem swag. (Yes, please!) And in true Gaga fashion, the event gives back: a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales and the live auction will benefit the Malibu Fire Department as L.A. continues to rebuild after the wildfires.

Of course, there are plenty of cool concerts in NYC this month — and throughout the year — but you’d be remiss not to add this event to your calendar. Tickets are $50 online.

🗓 March 7th

📍 Joanne Trattoria: 70 W 68th St

⏰ 6:30pm-8pm

These Naughty Dessert Experiences Make For A Super-Sweet Valentine’s Day

Forget the roses and chocolates. If you’re looking to take February 14th in a steamy (yet sweet) direction, Sugar Wood dessert decorating experiences are the way to go.

NYC’s naughty bakery is offering a blush-worthy cooking decorating class where attendees are able to unleash their creativity and feast on a sexy treat to boot. What could be more appropriate for Valentine’s Day? Whether you’re celebrating with your boo or friends — or even solo — it’s the perfect activity.

“First off, we teach people how to how to use the piping bags, how to decorate the cookies, and how to apply everything,” says the store’s owner, Austin Allan. “Then I let them loose and people can ask questions, they can use our cookies for inspiration, they can Google cookies. We’ve really seen all different kinds of creativity and all sorts of really fun designs.”

Once attendees have a handle on the piping bags, glitter, and other baking accessories, they’re tasked with whipping up designs for Sugar Wood’s signature doggy style, woody, kitty, and boob cookies. Additionally, attendees will be able to put together a NSFW conversation heart cookie before turning their attention toward dipping and decorating waffles. (Hope you brought your appetite!)

While yes, it’s certainly a unique and spicy alternative to romantic dinner dates, the meaning behind the experiences — and the store itself — is significant.

“We really want to make it okay to talk about sex and body parts and gender, but do it in a really silly fun way,” Allan adds. “People love desserts, people love sex jokes, and so here at Sugar Wood, we combine them. Also we really want people to just not take life so seriously, you know?”

And you’ll definitely want to book this spot for future bachelorette occasions, or you know, the impromptu sexy cookie whenever hunger strikes. Visit the Sugar Wood bakery website to learn more and secure your spot.

The Noisiest NYC Neighborhoods Have Been Revealed, And One Location Has A Whopping 73,000 Complaints

None of us were shocked to learn that NYC is the noisiest city in the U.S., but which neighborhoods helped our favorite place earn this superlative? We’ll break it down for you.

Whether it comes to congestion, nightlife, or just regular ol’ business as usual in the city that never sleeps, things can get hectic. According to public 311 data gathered by The New York Times, certain locales received more noise complaints than others, so plan accordingly if you’re thinking about a move in the near future.

Noisiest NYC neighborhoods, according to 311 data

In 2024, a whopping 10% of noise complaints came from the Bronx, particularly District 12, with a total of 73,014 complaints. Considering the second contender only earned roughly 32,000 calls, we’d say things are certainly busy in our northern borough!

According to the data, here are the nabes with the greatest number of noise complaints last year:

  • Bronx District 12: Edenwald, Wakefield, Williamsbridge, Woodlawn, Fish Bay, and Eastchester with 73,014 calls
  • Manhattan District 12: Washington Heights and Inwood with 31,982 calls
  • Manhattan District 7: Manhattan Valley, Upper West Side, and Lincoln Square with 26,369 calls
  • Manhattan District 10: Central Harlem with 24,059 calls
  • Brooklyn District 1: Williamsburg and Greenpoint, Flushing Avenue, Northside, and Southside with 21,365 calls
  • Bronx District 4: Highbridge, Concourse, Mount Eden, and Concourse Village with 19,944 calls
  • Manhattan District 3: Tompkins Square, East Village, Lower East Side, Chinatown, and Two Bridges with 19,588 calls
  • Bronx District 7: Norwood, University Heights, Jerome Park, Bedford Park, Fordham, and Kingsbridge Heights with 18,550 calls
  • Brooklyn District 4: Bushwick with 17,885 calls
  • Queens District 10: Howard Beach, Ozone Park, South Ozone Park, and Richmond Hill with 17,145 calls

For more information, you can check out the 311 data online. And if you need a little breather from all of that chaos, perhaps it’s time to plan a spa day for much-needed r&r.
