Southside Photo du Jour: Hey Ladies…
(Or gentlemen)
For those of you who are without a date this All Hallow’s Eve I would like to bring to your attention this handsome (and very naked) gent from South 4 Street. Exactly why a scrap metal business possesses such an item— much less has it for sale— I do not know (and I did not ask). However, be advised that this chap’s company will set you back a cool $75.00. This may sound like a king’s ransom to many of you but just think of the money you’ll save on dates!

This is without argument my favorite day of the year. For this reason I put together slide show of spooky stuff from the greater Williamspoint area to get everyone in the Halloween spirit. Enjoy!
Have happy (and safe) Halloween everybody!

Happy Halloween From New York Shitty!
This delightfully demonic clown hails from Greenpoint’s very own Habitat. This establishment, as I have already mentioned, will be hosting a “Freak Show” starting at sunset tonight! Those of you who are intrigued by (or simply need a refresher about) this event can learn more by clicking here.
Happy haunting!

New York Shitty Day Ender: Free Willy!
Jay Lombard (who forwarded me the above photographs of a very happy and lucky lad named Willy) writes:
Heather – At last! Dog Habitat Rescue has a dog available for adoption! Meet Willy – he was stray who was taken to the Brooklyn animal care & control shelter and was within hours of being euthanized. He’ll be staying at Unleash: Brooklyn until we find him a permanent home. Look for Willy at the front of the parade at tomorrow’s Halloween party in McGolrick park.
Thanks for sharing the good news with us, Jay! As he indicates in the above email anyone interested in meeting Willy and giving him the loving home which has so eluded him can make his acquaintance at District Dog’s Halloween Parade tomorrow at McGolrick Park. Here’s the 411 for those of who are not in the know:
3rd Annual District Dog Halloween Parade

And on that note, dear readers, I am calling it a day. Have a wonderful pre-Halloween evening!

Greenpoint Halloween Watch: Crosstown Local
Filed under: 11222, Crosstown Local, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
It doesn’t get much scarier in my book than this jack o’ lantern which commemorates our very own G train. This little guy hails from the Garden Spot’s very own Brouwerij Lane and sports four very festive companions.

More Day of the Dead Fun
Filed under: 11211, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Those of you who are in search of more Day of the Dead fun in north Brooklyn are in luck: I have two more events to pass along to you. Here they are!
First up, Huitzilli will be serving up chocolate and churros (imagine a cinnamon flavored cheeto and you have the general idea) Sunday, November 1st, from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m.. While you’re there be sure to check out some of their great Day of the Dead wares. Here are a few highlights.
Sugar skulls galore.
Fun jewelry.
And of course I would feel remiss if I didn’t mention this Porkysesque bit of mirth. CAVEAT: Previous link may not be safe for work.
Check it out!

Try and come by for our annual Dia de los Muertos holiday at our coffee bar where we honor our passed family and friends with food, drinks (e,g, new Azteca mex chocolate/espresso shots), decor, and more. Pass flyer on to your friends!
Although the official celebration is Monday afternoon after 6pm, the coffee bar will have the traditional ofrenda (altar) loaded with pictures and mementos of lost loved ones this weekend til next weekend. I’ll be working Saturday early afternoon til 3pm and Sunday morning til 1:30. Try our tamale plates (w/ elote/Mexican corn) and mexican mocha IF you haven’t been by yet.
I have tried the Mexican mocha. It is nothing short of amazing. Coupled with their tamales you have a winning combination!
