Pop-up and DIY underground restaurants are all the rage in New York and there's little wonder why.

With the majority of these small, homegrown storefronts and chefs based in Brooklyn, the draw of limited open hours, pop-up schedules and the cool resulting Instagram pictures bring the see and be seen kids in droves.

The Drift will keep an eye on the must-visit pop-up kitchens around the city this summer. And based on last summer, there will be a lot to choose from.

For now, in the spirit of Punk Week at The Drift, discover these DIY kitchens and discover your inner "f*ck the man" spirit, even when eating.

1. SCRATCHbread.
    Lauded by Gothamist and other foodie blogs, this neighborhood favorite in Bed-stuy is a must visit
    for anyone who likes breakfast food, crusty bread and good coffee. Limited hours and the weekend
    brunch crowd make for long lines at the walk-up storefront at Lexington and Bedford in Brooklyn.

Micro Trend: The Simpsons

Back in February of 2012, Jeremy Scott included a handful of Simpsons pieces in his Fall/Winter 2012 presentation. Here we are, just over a year later, and The Simpsons have hit the streets.

Beckerman Bite Plate has a great DIY post up for making your own Simpsons jeans.

You can also satisfy your nostalgia cravings locally at Simpsons Club on Monday Nights at 10pm when Nitehawk Cinema projects four episodes of the show on their downstairs bar screen.
