If you’ve ever spent any time in San Diego, then you know about California burritos with friends in them. Sound crazy, we know. But it’s actually an amazing delicacy that you’ll be hard-pressed to find in other parts of the country. That changed in New York this week with the introduction of Electric Burrito in the East Village. Alex Thaboua and Will Wyatt opened their taqueria on Monday with a menu inspired by Thaboua’s youth growing up in San Diego, as he explained to Gothamist in an article published yesterday:

“The burrito is such a quintessentially California thing,” said Thaboua. “I grew up surfing at Pacific Beach, Mission Beach, Ocean Beach, and skating all over Clairemont, and in every neighborhood, there are like a million taco shops. It was just always a part of our diet, our food culture. And when we got older and started drinking, it became our after-hours food. I can’t tell you how many times we’d get hammered and then go eat a bunch of burritos and wake up feeling fine.”

Located at 81 St. Mark’s, Electric provides a new alternative to Pop’s—which has become our weekend staple—and another stop when popping into Public Access to catch up with Leo.

Eric Koston and Steve Berra Take Back Control of The Berrics

The Berrics founders Eric Koston and Steve Berra are now 100% back in control of their company.

Established in 2007, The Berrics was a portmanteau of the founders’ names — Berra and Eric.

Back in 2018, Hypebeast acquired the majority stake in The Berrics. Hypebeast is a Hongkong listed company founded by Kevin Ma in 2005. It started out as a sneaker blog and became an online magazine covering fashion, culture, and other topics and also ventured into retail among other businesses.

But after five years, it appears that the partnership didn’t go that well. In their statement, Berra and Koston said they had little control over their company.

Contrary to popular belief, it’s been almost 5 years since we’ve effectively had any influence over what we created, how it was run, what we made and what it stood for. Five years forced to the sidelines, largely silent, being told what we can and cannot do… or else suffer the consequences. Suffice to say, it was painful watching and experiencing some of the things that transpired.

The two also mentioned that The Berrics website, social, content, and e-commerce will all undergo changes. They also thanked everyone who supported the company through the years.
