Greenpoint Photos Du Jour: The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
Filed under: 11222, Criminal Activity, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
Nothing says the holiday season is in full swing in the Garden Spot of the Universe like an epidemic of “sticky fingers”. This having been stated, I have no idea what “touch your ass” means. What’s more, I don’t care to find out!

Williamsburg Gentrification Watch: Biergarten Brunch With Santa!
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
It’s a little known fact but Mister Heather was once “Santa” at a local business in Greenpoint. Granted, he was not drunk while discharging his duties (or sported a salmon under his beard) but he needed a stiff one shortly thereafter. For this reason I find the following event, which comes courtesy of north Brooklyn’s very own Town Square, truly innovative!
BEER AND BRUNCH WITH SANTA! Per the above flier:
…What’s that sound? Is it the jingle of Santa’s bells? Guess what kids? Santa is coming to Williamsburg for a delicious brunch at Radegast Hall & Biergarten!

December 12, 2009; 11:00 – 1:00 p.m.

New York Shitty Day Starter: Alas, Saint Nick…
I knew him well.
When I encountered this, Santa Claus in a shopping cart, on Driggs Avenue I had to take a photograph of it. The porter of said building was as perplexed and amused as I was. He encouraged me to take St. Nick home. I told him taking Santa home in a shopping cart would be a schlep to Greenpoint.
Perhaps Santa’s new sleigh could be pulled by rats or stray cats?
I suggested. He laughed. And we both agreed the holidays suck.

‘Tis The Season: Back At It On Humboldt
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic
I am pleased to announce that the minds behind Greenpoint’s favorite Halloween display are busy working their magic this holiday season. Here’s a sneak peek of what they are cooking up.
No Santa (or Mrs. Claus) yet but I am certain they will make an appearance in due time. Otherwise I’ll leave you with this jolly fat fella sporting the red suit from down the block.
Perhaps I have lived in Greenpoint too long but this guy looks a little soused.

‘Tis The Season: The Garden
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic
Now that the Mister has been kind enough to relinquish the computer (he was home sick today) I will hit you up with today’s bit of holiday cheer from The Garden.
But if you want to see the real action, go inside. Alex writes:
i walked into the garden today for lunch and saw this holiday decoration getup… if you haven’t seen in person, i strongly recommend you stop by…however, since i get all my gp news from you, i am guessing that i am no.78 in sending you this hot tip.
Actually he was the first. Although I am fairly certain this decor was used last year it doesn’t make it any less disturbing. If you harbor an irrational fear of elves, gnomes, dwarves, little people in general or are on psychotropic drugs, DO NOT click the above link.
