This weekend, New York City is turning back the clock to pop culture’s best decade. Events all over town are celebrating everything you loved about the era, from movies to music and even the style (oh, the style). So whatever you’re nostalgic for, this weekend will dust it off, pop it in the VCR, crank it up on the CD player and let it fly. The fashion may have been questionable, but let’s be real: They don’t make music like they did in the ‘90s. Lucky for you (and your downstairs neighbors), Smash Mouth, Salt-N-Pepa, Lisa Loeb, Naughty by Nature, Coolio and Tonic are getting the party back together for‘90s Fest.
