Given the recent so-called “war on brunch” I feel compelled to note that a number of sidewalk cafe applications will be under consideration during this convocation. NOTE: You must sign in by 6:15 in order to speak!

Reader Contribution du Jour: Today at Lake McCarren
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Well, not exactly a reader contribution per se. This photo was taken by our very own City Councilman, Steve Levin*, and was forwarded to the keeper of the dog (whose name is Ursula) in question . Hey, I like to give credit where it is due!
P.S.: I would be remiss if I did not note that Mr. Levin (and a number of our elected officials, such as Joe Lentol who can be seen at far right) made a brief appearance at today’s Lunch with Lambda!
New York Shitty Video du Jour: Lincoln Restler Represents At Lunch With Lambda

Although I have been endeavoring— quite successfully I’ll add— to keep Saturday’s bloggage on New York Shitty lite (so I can have a break!) this wonderful speech by our 50th Assembly District Democratic Leader from today’s 34th annual Lunch with Lambda is too good to resist posting. Please take a moment to give it a listen, gentle readers!
NOTE: The next fundraising event/rally for Mr. Restler will be conducted May 17th right here at Greenpoint’s very own Red Star Bar! Details to follow…

New York Shitty Day Starter: Daniel Squadron Wants Our Support!
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg
Per an anonymous tipster:
If the name Norm Brodsky seems familiar, gentle readers, here’s why:
- He was a founding member of Open Space Alliance.
- He owns the CitiStorage storage facility which is
a colossal cash outblocking our brave march towards open space in Greenpoint. To the amount of $200,000,000 if Rami Metal is to be believed (skip to 8:03 and hear his words for yourself)
And three pillars of our community; Adam Perlmutter, Steve Hindy (Brooklyn Brewery) and Evan Thies (Open Space Alliance members and former Community Board 1 members all) are hosting a rally for Mr. Squadron at his home (READ: CitiStorage)!

MARK YOUR CALENDARS: Community Board 1 Joint Committee Meeting
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
As proudly announced during last month’s OSA “minute”*, the matter of Cooper Park’s barbecue pits is one of two enticing items on next week’s agenda!

P.S.: While I am vaguely on the subject, I saw a great deal activity (READ: a small army of Parks employees cleaning, “weed whacking”, etc.) this morning at Cooper Park.
Anyone have the 411 on what’s up?
*Which was actually 3 minutes and 36 seconds— but who’s keeping track?
