Brooklyn’s Oh Boy team launches a record cafe and natural wine program

Brooklyn’s Oh Boy team launches a record cafe and natural wine program

A year after Brendon Beck and Derek Orrell debuted their daytime concept Oh Boy in Williamsburg, the pair have expanded the project with Oh Boy Supply & Record Cafe, a new addition that opened inside the FREEHOLD Brooklyn complex on Friday, May 3. A collaboration with FREEHOLD Hospitality, the Domino Park day-to-night newcomer will blend an a.m. cafe with an evening natural wine program, overseen by SAUCED, as well as a hearty vinyl music selection.

The 1,000-square-foot restaurant and retail space—in great news, the team has been experimenting with product testing and packaging favorites such as their popular Oh Boy sauce—will offer a pastry program, grab-and-go bites and coffee roasted by local partner Sweetleaf during the daytime. In the evening, the outfit will serve a light bites menu with a natural wine program curated by SAUCED’s new Wine Hustler Club. Along with selling a selection of vinyl records, the new cafe will also host live music performances from artists from around the world.

The collaboration with FREEHOLD also includes a new food menu from Oh Boy’s chef Merrill Whiston III, who you might remember as the former chef de cuisine at Llama Inn. Of course, the menu will include that viral Oh Boy burger and Dirty Birdy chicken sandwich, as well as Peruvian-inspired plates like fresh ceviche and an aji panca-spiced mushroom sandwich, and cocktails from beverage director Rikki Nobre. The food lineup from Oh Boy will complement a robust calendar of seasonal programming, including live music events, a summer barbecue and a rotating guest chef dinner series. 

Check out some food-and-drink options from Oh Boy Supply & Record Cafe below:

Fifth Avenue is filled with beautiful and immersive flower displays right now

Already a beautiful street in its natural form, Fifth Avenue is now home to several whimsical flower displays that make the area even more stunning, courtesy of Van Cleef & Arpels.

For the third year in a row, the jewelry company has set up multiple sketch-like installations by French artist Alexandre Benjamin Navet, on view now through May 31 between 50th and 59th Streets.

The activation, dubbed “Fifth Avenue Blooms” and set up in partnership with the Fifth Avenue Association, also features sounds and smells. Talk about immersing yourself in the environment around you.

“I am very excited to see my designs at this scale and the unfolding gardens displayed in such a vibrant and inspiring place,” stated artist Alexandre Benjamin Navet in a statement. “This season’s dialogue with the Maison is inspired by a walk in a beautiful garden when Spring is blooming. Violets, peonies, clematis, delphinium but also architectural garden details such as fences, carved stone planters from the 19th century and beautiful alleys.”

The deadline to consolidate some student loans to receive forgiveness is here. Here’s what to know

Student loans/college tuition (240198)

Borrowers with some types of federal student loans have until today to consolidate their loans to qualify for full student loan cancellation or credit toward cancellation. The Education Department is expected to conduct a one-time adjustment in the summer but borrowers who want to be considered for the adjustment have to submit a request to consolidate their loans by Tuesday.

This one-time adjustment is meant to show a more accurate payment count for student loan borrowers.

Here’s what you need to know:

WHICH TYPES OF LOANS NEED TO BE CONSOLIDATED?

Borrowers with these types of loans must consolidate first to take advantage of this one-time adjustment:

— Commercially managed Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) loans

— Parent PLUS loans

— Perkins loans

— Health Education Assistance Loan (HEAL) Program loans

You can learn more about the one-time adjustment at studentaid.gov.

WHEN IS THE DEADLINE?

The deadline to consolidate your loans is Tuesday.

WHAT IS LOAN CONSOLIDATION?

If you have multiple federal student loans, you can combine them into one loan with fixed interest. If you decide to consolidate your loans into a Direct Consolidation Loan, you can do so for free. Once you have consolidated your loans, you will have one monthly payment instead of multiple payments a month.

HOW DO I APPLY TO CONSOLIDATE MY LOANS?

You can apply to consolidate your loans at studentaid.gov/loan-consolidation. The consolidation process typically takes around 60 days to complete. Once you consolidate your loans, you will be eligible for the adjustment.

WHEN WILL I HEAR BACK IF MY LOANS ARE CANCELLED OR I RECEIVED CREDIT?

The Education Department is currently adjusting borrowers’ accounts and expects to finish by July 1.
