The New NYC Cool: Cache Cache
How did fifty people end up in a Tribeca studio on a Sunday afternoon, eating brunch, and watching cartoons from childhood? ‘Cache Cache.’ French for hide and seek, Cache Cache, the artisan collective of four women, held its second event, ‘Brunch & Cartoons,’ further launching itself into the underground and trendy stream every New Yorker strives to find.
Central to the Cache Cache brunch event was ‘bringing back things of the past you can enjoy as an adult,’ said Chef de Cuisine and Co-founder Rosey Alvero. While it’s easy to see why cartoons bring back memories of the past, the food was just as critical, featuring home made pop tarts, twinkies and ding dongs.
The four women founders all met while living in the same apartment building on Thompkins Square Park. They decided to bring together the entertaining culture and food that they had started in their building to a wider audience. The key to this was bringing artists together, but also focusing completely on the local – local artists, local foods and local films. ‘We’re a group of 4 women – that is something that is definitely at the core of our values. There is definitely a mentality of female power,’ says Chloe Callahan, cofounder of Cache Cache.
‘We feel like everyone in New York is all about these home grown mentalities, but do you ever go somewhere and everything is really from New York? People don’t curate. We really wanted to do something that was geared towards truly being a local event – everything is seasonal, people are here because they love New York and they love New Yorkers, they want to support food and film,’ says co-founder Chloe Callahan.
The local mentality with Cache Cache permeates all aspects of the nostalgia they aim to create, driving an intersection of yesterday’s trends with today’s tastes. ‘That’s one of the most fun parts of the whole process,’ says Rosey Alvero, ‘going to do different markets and talking to other people and seeing what’s available. And I’ll say something like ‘oh in five weeks I have this event – is that gonna be available?’ And they’ll know that won’t be available but something else will.’
This is exactly how the beet ketchup, paired with the tater tots came to be. Alvaro was speaking to a local supplier and she said, ‘You don’t have tomatoes but you have tons of beets, I’ll make a beet ketchup.’ At the end of the day, she continues, there is ‘no bullsh-t in the kitchen,’ not in the food and not between the cuisine creators.
As the winter sunlight faded, the local cartoon showcase began, headlined by a sneak preview of ‘The Stressful Adventures of Boxhead and Roundhead.’ Each cartoon was put together by the Ace & Son Moving Picture Company, with company executive Richard O’Connor sharing some behind the scenes insights following the showcase.
While the cartoons offered a reprieve from the flavor attack, the highlight of the event was community created by Cache Cache. Callahan, commenting on how the founders put this at the core of their movement, says, ‘It’s an ode to our anonymity. It’s us saying ‘hey you’re gonna have to work a little hard to get in the door and were gonna work hard to keep you here.’’ Almost forgot to mention it – to find the address, you needed the password munchonbrunch.

5 Songs You Should Listen To Now
I DJ under the name Andrew Larsson and it is from that world that I write this post. For more of my music recommendations [and to listen to good music] subscribe to “31 Days by Andrew Larsson” Spotify. It is also just right of this article –>
You may have not noticed, but it is already June, which means we are now well into 2014. If I think about 2013, the songs that were the songs of the year (Blurred Lines, Get Lucky, We Can’t Stop) were really summer anthems. Sufficed to say, who knows what the next few months will bring, but the songs we fall in love with over the next three months may be the ones we longingly and nostalgically recall years down the line as the sound of 2014 and its World Cup. But, before we allow our collective aural memories attach themselves to what has not yet arrived, here are 5 tracks you should certainly listen to.
Le Youth feat. Dominique Young Unique – Dance with Me ft. Dominique Young Unique
90’s nostaligia isn’t quite dead yet and thank god. I cannot get enough of LE YOUTH. His other “well-known” track, C O O L, is really my recommendation but that is 2013 track so this 2014 track is basically just as good. We get a throw back TLC remix/reinterpretation of No Scrubs/No Doves…wasn’t that the name of the male response to the TLC hit? Anyway, the song is catchy and dancey as fudge. Everything about this guy feels very C O O L and I hope he is around for years to come.
Skrillex – Ease My Mind with Niki & The Dove
At this point, the Skrillex secret is out. He is now up there with David Guetta and Calvin Harris in the pop music crossover pantheon. However, this sampling from Niki & The Dove (a delicious group in their own right) is just so tasty. “Niki’s” vocals are just so magnetic and her voice will get stuck in your head [I don’t know if Niki is the name of the singer #awkward]. Good luck not trying to sing along every time you hit the 3:00 mark after you hear the song a few times. It is not to hard to find the more experimental original version by the group which is great (it is also currently on “31 Days by Andrew Larsson”, but the Skrillex take on the song is singable and danceable. Just let your foot do the tapping.
Young & Sick – Twentysomething
Thanks to my friend, the House of Carbs creator, for turning me onto this one. The vocals are smooth, but what really grabs you in a very addictive way is the instrumentation. Whatever machinery/keyboard wizardry is being used, it just feels good to sing in your head over and over again. This is also one of those songs that the first time you hear it, you think you have heard it before.
Deorro – Five Hours
It is literally impossible to choose one 2014 Deorro track to recommend. I will admit I do not much about this outfit, but everything coming out with the name Deorro on it is incredible. Let’s put it this way – if you were to craft a night of incredible dancing, the most clichéd amazing night you would ever want, with free entrance into the club, skipping the lines, VIP bottle service, everything on the house, incredibly beautiful and well-dressed people, and hundreds of revelers dancing their booties off on the dancefloor, Deorro is the music you would want as the soundtrack of that night. This song was the first I heard, but since finding it, have fallen in love with the rest.
DJ Snake & Lil Jon – Turn Down for What
Admittedly, this one is already a massive hit, so you probably have heard of it by now. I also think this one is the leader in the early running for Song of the Summer song. Beyond the awesomeness of it, I love the message of the song. There is nothing Lil Jon and the party around his life will turn down the music for. Is anyone asking? Doubtful, because it’s Lil Jon.
Check out these tracks and all my other suggestions on my “31 Days by Andrew Larsson” playlist on Spotify. Songs only last 31 days on the playlist (unless they need to come back because they are awesome), so it does not get too repetitive, unlike radio. For those in the Triad area of NC, I will be DJing at the YELP Bday party on July 17 in High Point.
