Music for Wandering Around Europe A Playlist for your jaunt in the Old World
Without music, life would be a mistake. Nietzsche once said that, and I back him all the way. Europe is a vast wonderland of adventures, with perpetual stimulation, culture, rosé and the casual comfort of being able to smoke a cigarette any damn place you feel. But even after all the expansive history and art…
Radical Class: Eat on the run in Mexico A life-changing marinade and a barbecue built of good vibes
Every year around April and May I start to get the itch to go south. For the past six or seven years my friends and I pile in a truck and spend a couple weeks living out of tents on Mexican beaches at the end of dusty Mexican roads to disappear while fishing, diving and…
What Youth Drinks: La Rosita A Pink Tequila Drink that’s Made for Spring
I’ve got lots of extra tequila right now. My liquor cabinet is full of the stuff. I had a big party, got too excited, bought too much tequila, and then had 7 bottles leftover. Adding to that, whenever I have people over they bring tequila, and maybe that’s because tequila is awesome. I love when…
Wy Guides: Argentina Mar del Plata: an (alternative) surfer’s paradise
Mar del Plata, Argentina, “the sea of silver.” A shimmering escape for those looking to dance along wind swell wedges, lock hips with a spiraling Latina and drink ’til dawn. Of all South American surf trips, we’ll wager that Argentina is the least frequented, so we went for you. We sampled the local reds, gorged…
The Wy Guide: Road Trip North We learned a lot on that CA highway
“It’s an odd thing, but anyone who disappears is said to be seen in San Francisco. It must be a delightful city and possess all the attractions of the next world.”—Oscar Wilde There are plenty of exotic, warm alternatives to consider, but there is something about the road. This road in particular: the 101 North….
What Youth Drinks: Beer Our complete guide to the nuances of good beer
Go to a restaurant these days and you’ll quickly realize the overwhelming number of beer choices there are. You have to be a sud-sommelier and have a doctorate in draughts to navigate this dizzying beer world. Go out with some bros for beers and the bartender will hand you a phone book-sized menu of brews…
WHAT YOUTH EATS: HOT WINGS Not Fried, not traditional, but these wings may beat any other wings
Super Bowl Sunday means football, yes, but also uncrowded waves and really awesome food like beer, nachos, and hot wings. All-American Sunday stuff, really. But today we’re going to talk about hot wings. I can’t really fathom watching the Super Bowl without hot wings. So after you get done shredding, tuck into these grilled little…
The WY Guide: Portugal Champagne tastes for Coors Light Income in the Old World
Portugal is so vogue right now. Ignore the questionable calls of the WSL and think Kate Moss late ’90s. Think Cara Delevingne early 2010s. Think red ’80s Mercedes with cream leather interiors, purring down cobbled streets. Think golden light, set ups of a thousand different flavours, Über babes for all tastes and the cheapest beer…
What Youth Drinks: The Michelada Your Friday afternoon delight
In issue 13, among lots of other (perhaps more important) things, we talk about beer. We’ve been drinking the stuff for a long while, but for too long we’ve guessed wildly at the bar, lost in a sea of beautiful beer choices. So in issue 13 we break all the basic types down, from ambers…
WY Eats: “Devils On Horseback” Good Fall cooking Inspired by Freeman’s Alley in the LES
Freeman’s Alley is the name of my favorite restaurant in New York. My friend New York Mike [Murciano] took me there for the first time and we were hooked. It sits at the dead end of an alley in the Lower East Side just off of the Bowery. The dark bar in the back is full…
What Youth Drinks: Bourbon Scandal 3 ways to drink your bourbon tonight
With so many bourbons to choose from, what to do? Buy the one with the prettiest label, then get on with it. Like a lot of folks, I’ve been hooked on the whole DIY, small batch, artisanal thing that’s been happening lately. Because, you know, it’s fun to learn about different things and be part…
The Return of Quiksilver? The Dark Rituals and Surf Tripping campaign have groms in their gear again, and it’s the first thing to shock us in a decade
I’ve talked about this shirt I used to have before. It was pink and it had a skull on it and was tribute to an old Quiksilver campaign that read: “If you can’t rock ’n’ roll, don’t fucking come.” Mom didn’t like the shirt, of course, but that shirt had energy in it. When I wore it,…
