On Friday, September 28, I wrote (in reference to the new restaurant moving into 999 Manhattan Avenue): I swear to god if this is another Thai restaurant I will fucking flip out. Guess what, folks? This brings the number of Thai restaurants on Manhattan Avenue to FIVE. Why can’t Greenpoint diversify a little [...] This morning I arrived at the Newtown Creek Nature Walk at 11:00 a.m. sharp so I could take pictures before the opening ceremonies. It’s an interesting set-up and even though I am not a fan of this kind of Modernist look, I have to admit this park has its moments. My favorite feature [...] What a week! First I was on the Leonard Lopate Show. Then it was Poles without pants. After that I discovered the CRACK PROS. And last— but not least, I finally got a photo of Greenpoint’s very own Jeep-riding Doginator. How can I possibly keep up this kind of momentum? Well, after several long [...] From an email I received for the Newtown Creek Alliance: Opening Celebration and Festivities for “Newtown Creek Nature Walk†Saturday, September 29, 2007 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM NEWTOWN CREEK WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT PAIDGE AVENUE & PROVOST STREET BROOKLYN, NY 11222 Shuttle buses are available from the intersection of Greenpoint and Manhattan Avenues [...] I recently noticed that Toluca La Bella, the inventor of the hot dog torta, has closed. What is taking its place, you ask? Well, here’s what I saw in the window today. This doesn’t look good, folks. I swear to god if this is another Thai restaurant I will fucking flip out.

It’s the little milestones (like the following) that shake me out of my existentialist angst and get my fat ass out [...] The beauty of exposing Bridge/Belvedere Realty’s ineptitude is they make it so easy. The downside is I can barely keep up with their quasi-luxury progeny. The good news is they can’t either. If Belvedere III is located on Powers Street, why did I find this? 135 North 9th Street is a long [...] First it was Starbucks. Then it was Sotheby’s. Now it is… Ricky’s?!? Truth be told, this addition to the neighborhood does not upset me. Aside from Zoe’s Beauty Salon & Spa (which is fantastic, by the way— Toni gives great cuts) there are few providers of fun cosmetics and girly stuff here. [...] Anyone who lives in my corner of Brooklyn will tell you Bedford Avenue is sidewalk sale central. Go there on any given Saturday or Sunday and you will find a bounty of used sundries for sale. Some are even worth buying. Or, in the case of what I found recently, some aren’t. In [...] Some days my neighborhood is a mindfuck a minute. Wednesday was one of those days.
