Williamspoint Photos Du Jour: Street Seating Selections
Filed under: 11206, 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Street Art, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Man oh man is it hot out! For this reason I have decided to beat the heat by sidling up to the a/c and rolling out some of my favorite Williamspoint street seating. Enjoy!
This pleather with sneaker and toaster ensemble hails from India Street.
Although a little worse for wear, this Brooklyn Queens Expressway number has a certain air of gravity about it I find compelling.
A little brown velour from Green Street.
Behold, the Bedford Avenue crusty couch.
Need to beat the heat? This green leather recliner from Throop Avenue is appointed with a can of Arizona iced tea! And last, but hardly least:
What this great DIY number from Lorimer Street may lack in elegance it more than makes up for with good ol’ Greenpoint ingenuity. Note the presence of two cushions so the user can adjust his (or her) comfort level accordingly. Outstanding!

New York Shitty Day Starter: Everyone’s A Critic
I have seen a lot of trenchant criticism in my day but likening the McCarren Park Pool to a Nazi death camp? That’s friggin’ harsh!
Yikes…

I can think of no better way to wrap up this stifling weekend than with some seriously hot wheels. Like this fabulously decked-out VW van I found on Bartlett Street today.
Now this is what I call caliente!
No sir, they don’t make ’em like this any more.
I give this ride two enthusiastic thumbs up!

Free In East Williamsburg: Stuff
Today I as I was knocking about north Brooklyn I happened upon a lot of stuff. Furniture, VHS tapes, DVDs (including a 30th Anniversary copy of Sid & Nancy— still in the shrink wrap— from Gerry Street. I took that bad boy!), you name it. By far the most interesting item I encountered hailed from Bogart Street in (where else?) East Williamsburg.
To the casual observer this would appear to be your standard, run-of-the-mill pile of 20-something bohemian detritus. And for the most this is, in fact, true…
expect for this.
This is not your grandfather’s Batman suit— or if it was, good ol’ gramps knew how to have a good time.
Anyone interested in parading around as the caped crusader without the crotch-pot cooking that goes with it this time of year— or wants to spice up his (or her) love life or otherwise expand his/her horizons better head down to (roughly) the intersection of Bogart Street and Grattan stat. As a female passerby noted, this won’t item won’t stick around long!
