One this I am always amazed by (and love) about pounding around New York City is you can walk down the same block time and time again and still find something new. In this case, a hodgepodge of brickwork that was used as the pretext for a happy face on Bayard Street !
Coming to 917 Manhattan Avenue: More Garden
First the Graham Electronics sign came down (revealing lovely brickwork, as seen above), then I was tipped of and today, lo, I spied a building permit confirming it: the Garden, a much-beloved Greenpoint institution is expanding into 917 Manhattan Avenue.
Those of you who are familiar with how congested this establishment can get (as I do) will undoubtedly agree this is a wonderful development— as is the addition of customer bathrooms. Really. I am not kidding!
Anyhoo, those of you who have the time/ability, do give the surviving cast iron work and masonry a look. It’s a nice little peek of the past.
New York Shitty Slide Show Du Jour: Crestfest
Yesterday I wrapped up my peregrinations by swinging by Crestfest. I was not disappointed: there was a lot of great art work! The ‘Frustration Station” proved to be especially popular. Be sure to watch the videos of it being, um, utilized. They’re pretty funny.
