Stephanie Anderson is the manager of WORD, the ultimate local bookstore in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Her blog/Twitter handle is “bookavore” so for her portrait we made it literal. The set & skirt I built from her discard piles of publisher’s proofs.
Great shot!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Wine & Food At The Greenpoint Shul!
This item comes courtesy of the amazingly nice folks at Greenpoint’s very own Shul! Samara writes:
Hello, Miss Heather –
This is Samara writing you. – I worked on the trivia fundraisers for the Greenpoint Soup Kitchen last year that you so kindly donated prints to.
I’m writing you with a request to give a shout out on NewYorkShitty for an event we’re having at the Greenpoint Shul.
It’s a kosher wine tasting in conjunction with Roebling Liquors Inc. and a vegetarian food pairing with a wine expert in celebration of Hanukkah. It will take place Friday, December 3rd just after Kabbalat Shabbat services which begin at 7:00 p.m at the Greenpoint Shul (108 Noble St.) We welcome donations to support the event (www.greenpointshul.org, click on “Donate”).
I’ve attached a jpg of the invitation. If you could post this, we’d greatly appreciate it.
Please come if you can…
Duly posted! I would also like to add that not only is the Rabbi who presides over this establishment, Maurice Appelbaum, an amazingly nice guy but the very building itself is an absolute treasure! Follows is a slide show I assembled last year to give you an idea of what I am talking about. Enjoy!

Check out this sign from 158 Freeman St. How do they know it was human pee and not some other animal? Did someone witness jerkhole peeing on people’s homes? And what is a jerkhole?
Excellent questions all…

It is a well known fact that Larry (as seen at left) is without argument Greenpoint’s most famous the bodega cat. He likes to get around. While this usually entails keeping a particularly vigilant eye (or would that be paw?) over the canines which patronize his place of work and play (that being A. J. Farms) he has a horde of furry friends. In fact, if you look carefully on the left hand side of the counter at this establishment you will see a photo of him hanging out with a few of his homies. But did you know a particularly fetching feline hereabouts has become his regular breakfast date? I didn’t. It was put to me this way:
He comes in every morning, eats some of her food and sits with her. They cannot “do” anything*… but they like each other!
