Reader Comment Du Jour: Gypsy Bar
Ms heather did you notice that the now absent “Sabor” has transformed overnight in to something called gypsy bar??… I drove by last night and noticed. Didn’t realize a new bar could appear overnight like that.
I have seen a lot of work going on at this space during the last two weeks. While not exactly “overnight” this is still a pretty astonishing turn-around nonetheless. Does anyone have the 411 about this establishment? If so, please share via comments or email at: missheather (at) thatgreenpointblog (dot) com. Thanks!

UPDATE, August 11, 2010: Here’s a little intel I got via a tipster. N writes:
I live next door to sabor turned gypsy bar. my roommate and i stopped in last night. they were pretty friendly. although the place is kind of small, they do have a big-ish menu and a bunch of taps. the bartender said the current menu is temporary and they’ll have a bigger one after their grand opening party around labor day.
Greenpoint Photo Du Jour: Smile!
There is a very good reason this, my very favorite ice cream lady, is smiling. Apparently our very own Corner Frenzy will be featured in the New York Daily News! Mazel tov!

UPDATE, 1:38 pm.: When I told my ice cream maven I was featuring her today she— and her mother— were excited. She inquired:
How do my boobs look?
I replied:
I don’t honestly remember. I’m not into that kind of thing. It’s a really cute picture, tho. Do you want me to send the Mister down to look at your boobs?
She demurred— but added:
I’ve got the two scoops. Come on down and get ’em!
Indeed.

New York Shitty Slide Show Du Jour: Break On Through To The Other Side

This week I did something I have never done before: I walked across the Williamsburg Bridge to Manhattan. I saw a number of interesting things, including a man urinating off of said bridge. At one point he even rested his member on the rail so as to free his hand to forage for his cell phone. It was quite the sight, I assure you. If there is a lesson to be learned here it is this: if you are walking down South 6 Street near the waterfront, carry an umbrella. Or better yet: walk on the other side of the street.
In any case, here are some highlights from my sojourn to Manhattan. I have tossed in some shots from Chinatown as well. Enjoy!
