New York Shitty Day Starter: Polish Paradise
I recently learned that, contrary to popular belief, “Polish Paradise” is not located in Greenpoint. Those of you who are interested in paying this very special place a visit can can find it underneath the Pulaski Bridge in Long Island City.
NOTE: not only is “Polish Paradise” seemingly bereft of Polish people, it also appears to be BYOB.

New York Shitty Slide Show Du Jour: Long Island City
As promised, follows is a selection of photographs from yesterday’s trek to Long Island City. At my journey’s end I was tired, a bit sweaty, more than a little cranky and had been rained on numerous times. No worries, gems like the above image (where a patron of the Crab House, which I am pleased to announce has reopened after a fire earlier this year, sizing up Betty Grable’s— um— assets and of course that magnificent double rainbow) made it totally worthwhile. Enjoy!
And that’s all she wrote!

*Yes, this item hails from Long Island City. But I couldn’t resist posting it in the hope it will inspire someone to trick out a Yugo.
New York Shitty Videos Du Jour: And Baby Makes Three
Yesterday evening the Mister and I paid a visit to Gantry State Park. It was lovely as always; the roses were in bloom, the tide was rolling in and the sunset cast shadows from the gantries which were absolutely gorgeous. Although you can anticipate more photographs from our sojourn later (so stay tuned!) the star of the evening was this little guy. Here are some videos I shot of baby learning the ropes— under the careful watch of mom and dad, of course— enjoy!
Shortly after shooting the above footage I learned the story about this, Long Island City’s cutest family, from a most interesting source: a couple of rather tough looking chaps watching with rapt interest was they swam by.
Tough Dude #1: There used to be three of them but the others didn’t make it.
Tough Dude #2: Aw, man! I hope he does.
It just goes to show it’s always the ones you least expect. What a couple of softies!

Real Estate Rhetoric Explained: One Hunters Point
I have long wrestled with exactly what the fuck the advertising wizard were getting at with this advertising campaign (as shown to the left).
Commute like a rocket
might seem pretty snappy on paper, but in reality it sounds kind of stupid. I suppose they’re were trying to get at how fast one can get into Manhattan from this location. Or are they? Being from a particular generation whose memories of space travel are less than cheerful I have my doubts.
On that note I am pleased to announce that I walked by One Hunter’s Point yesterday evening. And I think I have finally found the answer.
Meet the on-site sales office for One Hunter’s Point.
Now meet the rather unconventional sales tool located across the street.
I wonder if a defective O ring was to blame?
Damn.
