This item comes from Jan, who writes:

Here’s the flyer for St. John’s Annual Bazaar Nov. 13th.  The fun stuff is really cool!

The Ham dinner is OUTSTANDING.  The Gerke family who makes this are multigenerational St. John’s members and many years ago ran a pub (like Teddy’s) over here.  This was one of their specialties.

Lily lived at the Espinal Deli at 312 Bedford Av.

Doug (who took the above photograph) writes:

saw this today at 312 Bedford Av.

there was a bodega there called Espinal Deli, sitting between Videology and Dumont Burger and they closed this week. They had the rent doubled I heard. Who knows, but the close was sudden to me as a regular customer.

Anyone interested in providing the lovely Miss Lily a home should contact missthangny at the above-listed telephone number or email address. Thanks!

Cat seeks owner...found on Huron Street

This handsome chap was found by Ryan, who writes:

Found this cat this morning on Huron Street, between Manhattan and McGuinness. Posted these photos to your group page on Flickr. Currently have the guy in my bathroom, but my cat’s not very happy about this.

Very friendly cat; probably a lost indoor.

Went to the local pet stores and gave them my number in case someone is out searching. Going to call BARC in a minute…any other advice you may have would be welcome. This is my first street cat intervention so you may know more than I…

I have advised that Ryan reach out the the guys (and gals) at Dog Habitat to see if they can lend a hand, so hopefully I ‘ll get an update soon. In the meantime if you know to whom this striking gent belongs please contact Ryan via email at: ryanleephillips (at) airpost (dot) net (see the update!)

Thanks!

Miss Heather

UPDATE, 1:51 p.m.: This cat’s owner has been found! Huzzah!

Greenpoint Photos Du Jour: Out With The Old, In With The New

Mediterranean Shawarma is now— or will soon be— Four Seasons Closeout 2.0!

Where there was once a travel agency comes a(nother) pharmacy.

And those of you requiring, um, tailoring will be delighted to know Sastreria San Miguel is in effect across the street from its former location.

Albeit in the basement. Which is where I saw these men working last night.

Given there is a Stop Work Order for an illegal basement apartment at the above-listed location I find this, to say the least, interesting. Especially since the word on the street is that Sastreria San Miguel is paying $500 $600 a month to rent this space and a number of men clearly not desirous of haberdashery are hanging around there. Hmm…
