What can we say? We got nothing for you this week when it comes to a cohesive intro. We put it all down, stepped back to take a good look, and thought: "This is chaos."
You can tell just by giving it all one good scroll: We’ve got puppets roaming Wellington, tarot readings with your espresso martini, hyperpop raves blasting Charli XCX and NCT, and a grand reopening that somehow combines dirty horchata and back-to-school stationery.
Brooklyn DJs are spinning funk and Afro-Caribbean grooves in a Parc-Ex alley, while kids gather for nature stories beside grazing sheep. A Laufey-themed album drop is turning a bookstore into a fan zone, someone’s giving out free cannoli with live jazz in Little Italy, and a festival in the Old Port is mixing cocktails, fashion shows, and social-change cinema.
