Desire another snippet of Brooklyn life? Sultry goddess Tei Shi takes us on a tour of\u00a0New York\u2019s answer to Hackney \u2013 Bushwick<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n Desire another snippet of Brooklyn life? New York\u2019s answer to Hackney, Bushwick has undergone some serious gentrification over the last few years. A hotbed of musicians, sultry goddess Tei Shi is in her element.\u00a0Come with us as we venture into her subconscious and around a neighbourhood that most describe as magical.<\/p>\n If you need an injection of the unfamiliar in your music library, described endlessly as addictive, Tei Shi provides a much-needed musical fix. Having lived a life that some would say surpasses transient, it\u2019s hard to pin down what musical genre the singer falls under or decipher her musical influences. It is next to impossible to categorize Tei Shi\u2019s unique sound and lines have never been so blurred: her eclectic mix of R&B, electronic and left-pop is a winning formula. One half of an alt-pop power couple, the sea siren steps out with her drummer Luca who is also in folk rock band Yellerkin. Let the journey begin.<\/p>\n Beacon\u2019s Closet<\/b><\/p>\n Proudly locally owned and operated, this female founded chain has three stores in Brooklyn and one in Manhattan.\u00a0 If you\u2019re looking for the most diverse range of second hand gear, this is your pit stop.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Mr Kiwi\u2019s<\/b><\/p>\n For those in the know, this unassuming Bodega makes juice of the Gods. Just approach the lovely ladies at the front of the convenience store and choose from a rainbow of exotic fruits and veggies.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Little Skips<\/b><\/p>\n This darling of a caf\u00e9 supplies Bushwick with some of the best sandwiches in the area. Once thought of as a hidden gem, the eatery is now packed from dawn till dusk. Tei Shi always plumps for a vegan BLT: it\u2019s all about the cilantro-lime aioli.<\/p>\n
