New York Shitty Day Ender: Sweet Victory
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic
After I won the hat contest this evening (at tbd and gave props to Pa Heather— who was present— and to whom I dedicated the bottle of Maker’s Mark I won while wearing this) I encountered this select piece of street seating in front of the Viridian on the way home.
This one’s for you, Bob.*

Greenpoint Photos Du Jour: Hallelujah!
On April 21, 2009 I wrote (in regards to the waterfront park slated for northern terminus of Manhattan Avenue):
I’ll believe this park’s for real when my ass is firmly planted on one of those futuristic park benches!
Well here’s my fat ass planted on one such bench. This photograph was taken today, May 2, 2009, at approximately 2:30 p.m.
Although the Brooklyn Paper reported that this park would be open in either June or July.
It very much appears to be open.
TODAY.
Get down there and check it out!
It’s amazing how effective one news story the New York Times did NOT find fit to print (and as a result found its way onto a “neighborhood blog”) and one leaked Parks Department memorandum are at motivating our municipal entities to quit making excuses and get the job done. Looking at this couple enjoying their new park even warms the cockles of my cynical, jaded heart. Congratulations Greenpoint, you at long last have an honest-to-god (if still a little rough around the edges) waterfront park! Enjoy it.

From The New York Shitty Photo Pool: Something Unique
Filed under: Williamsburg
When I found this absolutely astounding image in my photo pool I simply had to pass it along here. It hails from Unique Auto Repair on Frost Street and comes from the camera of Mugsniffer. Great shot!

HEADS UP!
IDT Energy is canvassing Greenpoint today in search of more victims clients. I caught the above gentleman attempting to swindle a woman at 12:21 p.m. on Green Street. Those of you who are approached by these people take note: they are NOT employees of Con Edison. They will NOT save you money. They want to rip you off and will use deceptive sales practices to do it. To learn more about what IDT and other so-called “energy providers” are up to click here.

Greenpoint Photo Du Jour: Happy May Day From The Viridian
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic
This post is dedicated to the workers busy readying the Viridian for habitation today.
All one of you.
As you can see your creation has gained a measure recognition from the community. Albeit in a semantically flawed manner: your ugly building is, in fact, rental property.
Then again, if it wasn’t so ugly (and over-priced, for that matter) it may very well still be a condominium.
I suppose it really doesn’t matter anymore. But if I may make a suggestion…
running a two by four through the door handles of your building isn’t exactly going to lure prospective tenants.

If anyone from this establishment (which is located at 20 Henry Street in Chinatown) is reading this: you might want to do a little word smithing on this advertisement.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Curb Your…
This item hails from an unidentified location in Manhattan and was captured by Greenpoint’s very own Bitchcakes, who writes:
I saw this sign and thought of you…
Great find!
Speaking of things curbed, the upcoming week’s worth of offerings on New York Shitty will in all probability be lite. Today none other than Ma and Pa Heather will be honoring our fair city with a visit! Needless to say I will be very busy showing them all the local scenic points of interest (like the Shit Tits and the Newtown Creek Nature Walk!) but will take the time to post when the opportunity presents itself. Besides, sometimes even bloggers need a vacation! 😉
