New York Shitty Day Ender: Behind The Blue Door

July 14, 2009 ·
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic

From Norman Avenue.

Miss Heather

P.S.: Speaking of doors…

This one should be familiar to a number of you, dear readers. It graces 128 Beadel Street which is easily my favorite house in Greenpoint— and possibly all of New York City. Well, the owner of this house has reached out to me and today I met him face-to-face. Not only is he a very nice guy, but he gave me the full tour! Stay tuned, you will not be disappointed!

Borough Of Found Toys: Special St. Paddy’s Day Edition

March 17, 2009 ·
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg

Beadel Street.

Bedford Avenue.

Greenpoint Avenue.

I know what you’re thinking:

What the hell does any of this have to do with St. Patrick’s Day?

That’s where the following select find from Havemeyer Street comes in.

Be sure to drink responsibly tonight or you might end up like this poor pachyderm.

No sir, being found in a pile of rubbish in a parking lot the next morning would really suck. Note that someone has gone to the trouble of tagging this toy. (Priceless.)

New & Noteworthy: Vanessa Coffee Shop

March 11, 2009 ·
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic

Despite the recession a lot is going on in south Greenpoint. First there was Boneshakers. Last month it was the revamped Cup Of Joe’s and Lucky Shot. Yesterday it was the Great Mac Off and the good news about Brooklyn Standard. Today I am pleased to announceÂ we have gotten an old-school coffee shop: Vanessa’s.

Unfortunately I had already eaten but curious to know more I went inside. Vanessa’s is a tiny establishment. It seats at most maybe eight people. But the spicy aroma coming from the kitchen was absolutely mouth-watering. I asked the woman behind the counter how long they had been open. She said two weeks. They have not in fact even finalized their take out menu. But as you will see from this working draft they will be serving the usual fare along with some very authentic Mexican food. Color me intrigued!
