"Labubus basically took over the world, and New York City was not immune to the hype. The grinning plush gremlins came on the Brooklyn rave scene this summer, attracting hundreds of people to dance parties where the only plus-one you needed was your monster toy. If people weren't discussing Labubus, they were probably chatting about Dubai chocolate. If you haven't had a chance to try the milk-chocolatey mixture of pistachio cream and shredded phyllo dough yet,"
"It may be cold now, but think back to those warmer months when nightlife venues were packed full - not with sports fans but "Love Island" viewers. The daily, elimination-style show where contestants were tasked with finding love while isolated in Fiji drew huge crowds online and to New York City bars that hosted sold-out viewing parties. Clogs made a comeback, and we hit the streets to find New Yorkers rocking stylish ones."
Labubus plush gremlins became a summer sensation on the Brooklyn rave scene, drawing hundreds to dance parties where attendees brought the toy as their plus-one. Dubai chocolate, a milk-chocolatey blend of pistachio cream and shredded phyllo dough, gained popularity at local shops. Jalapeño Sauvignon Blanc emerged as an unexpected palate trend. Bars hosted sold-out viewing parties for Love Island, filling nightlife venues. Clogs returned to street style, and mystery-box offerings grew in popularity for gifts and surprises. A $1,300 puffer jacket topped early-year trends. Buy Nothing groups served as resource hubs and occasional sources of local drama.
