New York Shitty Day Starter: Manhattan Avenue
Last night a carbecque came to pass in the Garden Spot.
Fortuitously, the sombrero was unharmed.
P.S.: Those of you who are wondering about exactly what the hell happened can get the skinny by clicking here.
What’s Up On Manhattan Avenue?
I imagine a number of my fellow north ‘Pointers noticed a great many police cars and Fire Department personnel stationed at Green Street and Manhattan Avenue this evening (around 10:30 p.m.) and are wondering what’s up. No worries, I have the 411— and it appears to nothing to do with Sandy.
Rather, an automobile parked in front of Cafecito Bogota (1013 Manhattan Avenue) caught on fire. I am pleased to report our Bravest* got matters under control before they got out of hand. This is quite remarkable given the carbecque in question was illegally parked in front of a fire hydrant. Whoops. In any case, way to go guys!
*One of whom referred to the absent owner of said vehicle as, and I quote, “an asshole”.

If this photo taken today by the inimitable Dennis Farr is any indication, it would appear someone forgot to lock the gate. Whoops.

This photos was taken today on Java Street by WarmSleepy. It should be noted the East River has since risen and water is now making its way along Java Street. Be safe fellow Greenpointers and stay away from the waterfront. It has been evacuated for a reason!

You can (and should) view WNYC’s evacuation map in its entirety by clicking here. Otherwise, City Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer has listed some evacuation centers just a hop-skip across the bridge in Queens. These will undoubtedly be of interest to north ‘pointers in Zone “A”. You see where these are located by checking out Mr. Van Bramer’s Facebook page. Be safe, folks!
