New People’s Cinema Club is a collective dedicated to independent film and art, rooted in the belief that the most compelling art comes from idiosyncratic, fearless, underrepresented voices. They provide a platform for this work, and build a community around it. These are the weird and wonderful spots that make up their NYC.

Who doesn’t want to go on an adventure? And the symbols on their flag look like they were made by Martians.

Restaurant serving ‘wild-to-table avant-garde cuisine’. This was the place that got Casey into urban hunting, the ritual of catching and eating local city fare like raccoons, possums, and even coyotes — if you see ovular prints in the Prospect Park snow this winter don’t assume they’re from some finance bro’s Goldendoodle.

A taxidermy museum displaying every animal mentioned in the Hebrew Bible and Talmud. They let you pet the animals too. True story: Kate’s best friend had her first kiss there.

A cat village in North Greenpoint. Can’t have a cat because your roommates are allergic, or you live next door to a serial killer? Instead, come here and let the feral and one-eared tabbies curl around your knees. This is what Keenan does whenever he goes through a breakup.

A museum that preserves, interprets, and celebrates the role of dogs in society. We always thought there should be a museum that’s ‘by dogs, for dogs’, and this is as close as we’ve found.

The taxidermy here isn’t as good as Torah Animal World, but it comes with a side of Chiles Rellenos and Pozole.
