From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part II: A Halloween Inquiry

A lady named Chris writes:
Hi Miss Heather,
Love your blog! Read it all the time and I feel that it is very funny, yet a great service to the community so Thank You for doing it!
My question for today is: You highlight so many houses in the Pernt that are decked out for Halloween. I am now wondering if you have compiled a list of the top houses to hit for this big day? I tried searching on your site but didn’t have much luck. Maybe I am searching the wrong phrase? I tried “Halloween decorations”.
Any advice would be much appreciated and thanks again!
As it would happen I was out and about today documenting Greenpoint’s best ghoulish goodness. Before I proceed to the “winners” (so to speak) here is a slide show showcasing genuine Greenpoint Halloween goodness as spotted by yours truly. Enjoy!
And now onto my picks!
216 North Henry Street: While sporting a small front yard, they make excellent use of it!
This house on Beadel Street: I did not get the address. However, it packs a nice punch and crossing Vandervoort Avenue in order to view it is rather horrifying its own right!
Best Block: Without question this distinction goes to Hausman Street. Watch the following slide show and learn why!
And last— but hardly least— we have the usual suspects: 648 Humboldt Street and 97 Russell Street. I have to say Beverly (the lovely lady responsible for the latter) outdid herself this year. Mazel tov!
Other haunted houses worth a visit: 85 Calyer Street and 57 Franklin Street. I hope this was helpful, Chris. Have a very happy (and safe) Halloween Garden Spotters!

Yes, gentle Greenpoint readers, this would appear to be the case! Per NYC.gov:
We’re #1 at processing (and publicizing) #2! I know where I am taking my mother when she visits our fair city this spring. How about you?

P.S.: Special thanks go out to Laura Hofmann for bringing this to my attention!
‘Tis The Season: Christmas-a-cue

While some might interpret a conspicuous display of wattage as being holiday spirit, I find the more humble and creative Christmas concoctions more compelling on occasion. CASE IN POINT: this find from North Henry Street. It has all the essential Greenpoint elements:
- Patriotism
- Barbecue
- A Santa hat
- and other pagan accouterments
Beg to differ my analysis? Why not go there and take it up the matter with the creators of this item. This Christmas-a-cue has “kick ass” written all over it. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

As I have mentioned— or at least intimated— this morning I got up bright and early morning so as to prepare myself for the Digester Egg Experience. I prepared my outfit for the day the night before: Subtexture’s awesome Greenpoint tee featuring the ‘Tits (as customized by yours truly) paired with coordinating pants. The sneakers? I will readily admit they do not coordinate: but they are pretty much the only thing I have in the way of sturdy “closed-toed” shoes. In this respect I think some leeway is allowed. Let’s face facts: I was not exactly going to have tea with the Queen. Rather, I was going to see the largest waste treatment plant in New York City. One man on our “tour” called the digester eggs “those Turkish dome looking things”. I corrected him:
Hereabouts we call them the Shit Tits.
And see them I did— along with the “Flushing Camera Club” (this made me giggle like a teenager) and a couple of folks that could be best described as sewage treatment “foamers”. I was not quick enough on the draw to get their questions/commentary. So it goes. But I did enjoy one volunteer admonishing us not to smoke— and a fellow OHNY goer asking why.
Methane gas.
The vollie relied. To wit I added:
Click, BOOM!
He found this tremendously amusing. My fellow tourists not so much. Anyhoo (and without further ado) follows are some shots from the Shit Tits. Enjoy!
