If you’re a musician - or music lover -
who wishes there was more live footage of bands performing on
television than the musical guest featured on "Saturday
Night Live," look no farther than Lee Chabowski’s "The
What Goes On! Show." The Cobble Hill musician-director’s
DVD features surprisingly slick footage of 10 diverse New York
acts - with six from Brooklyn - all uncut, with just enough
camera angles to keep it interesting.

In Williamsburg, a performance-space-cum-eatery
is as common as a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. But My Moon
is more than brick walls and cement floors. Opened in May by
Bener Bilgin, the vast 246-seat space functions as a gallery
with works by local artists changing every six weeks; a performance
space with a different act each night, including Wednesday’s
belly dancing with a live band; and a restaurant with an eclectic
Turkish-Mediterranean menu.

Sal Buglione wanted a pizza place that
would make his father, Anthony, proud. His dream was to drive
his dad to the eatery, point to the "Anthony’s" sign,
and say, "This is for you."
