Bushwick named one of Vogue’s most stylish neighborhoods

According to a ranking in Vogue, Bushwick in 2014 is officially the world’s seventh most stylish neighborhood. Woohoo! The only question is: Which parts of Bushwick do Vogue’s fashionistas consider the most stylish? Perhaps the seedy back alleys? Or maybe the graffiti-covered liquor stores? Talk about trendsetting! Check out our imagined vision of Anna Wintour touring the 'Wick here, and roll out the red carpet! But then roll it back up again, because if you leave it out too long, it will start to smell like pee.

Let’s be real: At times, 2014 has felt like a nonstop parade of horrible, depressing news. But let’s take a breath and come skidding to the end of the year on a happy, albeit weird, note. Join us in reviewing New York’s quirkiest news stories of 2014. While these bizarre headlines don’t necessarily disprove the idea that NYC is a hive of scum and villainy—just ask the guy who smuggled tens of thousands of piranhas into the city—we're willing to bet you'll get a chuckle out of them. So let us embark on this surreal journey, from the Times Square costumed characters who went to court to the smallest penis in Brooklyn contest via all manner of nonsense. Oh, and you can file this roundup directly next to the most overused words and phrases of 2014. (Sorry not sorry.)
