Did you know Valdiano is closing Sunday for good ? They were voted best pizza in Greenpoint. What’s going in there? Cookie Road.

UPDATE, 1:10 p.m.: I have just confirmed this will be Cookie Road’s second location; they will be staying at their original location at Oak and Franklin Street.

You know what they say?

When the traffic’s away the cats come out to play!

Well, not really. But you get the idea…

April keeps a very vigilant watch over the herring at Rachel’s Garden.

I failed to get the name of this establishment. I suppose this is fitting since I was informed by an employee therein that this fellow does not have one! And last, but hardly least…

this petite lass. Naturally I had to inquire as to the name of this fetching femme. The proprietor said she did not have one. To me the answer was obvious.

One need only look up to what was providing essential shade for her be-spotted feet and tuckus…

April!

LOST IN GREENPOINT: Boots

I spied this flyer today at the intersection of Meeker Avenue and Sutton Street while enjoying today’s wonderful weather. It goes without saying that stuff like this breaks my heart— so if you have seen Boots or know of his whereabouts please contact his people at the above-listed telephone number. Let’s get this gorgeous guy back home!
