Carroll Gardens Gentrification Watch: OMFUG
This (which hails from Ferdinando’s Focacceria on Union Street) was one of the many interesting sights from my stint as amateur tour guide today in Carroll Gardens and Red Hook— and the operative word is “amateur”. The end result of my decision not to bring along a map was the people in my charge visiting such scenic points of interest as Ikea and the Red Hook Houses. They were polite enough not to complain— or they enjoyed it. It was too hard to tell. In any case, we had a fun time overall and you can anticipate a mini slide show of highlights from our meanderings in a bit!

This, one of the finest street sofas I have encountered in a long time, hails from West 9 Street in Red Hook. Note the baseball bat nestled under the cushions.

East Williamsburg Street Art Du Jour: Green Door
Filed under: 11206, Bushwick, Bushwick Brooklyn, Street Art, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Granted, I have featured this piece before (it was submitted by a reader named Todd). However, I finally I got to see this piece in person. I advise each and everyone of you to head over to the intersection of Waterbury and Meserole Street and see it for yourself. What struck me is how small and intricate this piece is. It is truly lovely. Anyone out there know anything about the artist? If so, please share via comments!

Greenpoint Photo Du Jour: Hanging Out
This photograph features two of north Greenpoint’s more notable citizens: Marty and the inimitable Philip Norris. The latter may look serious but I assure you he has plenty to smile about. Firstly, Philip will be celebrating a birthday this upcoming weekend. Secondly, a book of his poetry is set to be published next month. Congratulations on both, Philip!
