New York Shitty Day Ender: Manhattan Avenue
When I saw these two stunning lasses this afternoon I simply had to take their photograph. Afterward, they told me about a fundraiser their group, Polish American Folk Dance Company, was conducting to pay for travel expenses so they can enter a competition in Poland. Naturally I swung by. That’s when I learned they will be performing their entry for our delectation at Greenpoint’s very own Warsaw June 19th. Methinks I will have to check this out!

P.S.: The PAFDC will be having another fundraiser this upcoming Saturday, May 21, at The Loft (which is located at 222 West Street). You can get the 411 for this event by clicking here!
Spotted At 1073 Manhattan Avenue: The Lobster Joint
A very excited chap named Charles writes:
Just spoke to a nice gentleman from the (awesome looking!) lobster place in the former lamb and jaffy space – he said they’re opening on the 25th with “lobster rolls, burgers, liquor” and it will be called “The Lobster Joint”. STOKED
Naturally I had to see this for myself. So today I swung by to see what gives.
They’ve done a really nice job with the exterior.
The interior looks rather inviting as well. After making it known I was a vegetarian (as as such doe not share Charle’s excitement about consuming crustaceans) the kindly proprietor (who is apparently a New York Shitty reader!) assured me there would be a “veggie melt” on the menu (which is not yet published) along with lighter fare such as salads. I may very well might to have to give this a shot come May 25th!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: This Week At The Shit Tits
Pa Heather once told yours truly she had no ambition. I took issue with this at the time but in the cold, cruel clarity that is hindsight he was correct: I was lacking direction. This has since changed. I have found my happy place (that being Greenpoint, of course) and while living here I have discovered a manifold number of things which engage me. Among them: being the goodwill ambassador of and mascot for our beloved Waste Water Treatment Plant. More specifically: The Shit Tits. While this might not be everyone’s idea of “making it” in Greenpoint (or in New York City and at life for that matter) it is mine. Don’t shit on my dreams and I will not shit on yours.
I was not shit talking when I wrote my snow globe was progressing nicely. It is.
After no less than three attempts methinks I have it right this time around. The first prototype was simply too “busy”: too much shit in too little space. I realized a trifecta of turdiness was in order:
- One snow globe of a Shit Tit (as seen above in unfinished form)
- One snow globe of the Nature Walk (replete with a kayaker!)
- One snow globe of the Dupont Street sludge tank (for obvious reasons)
But back to the events at hand:

P.S. (and this goes out to the folks NYC Department of Environmental Protection): This is one of the best email exchanges I have had in ages. Please do not fire this person because of this post. It made my day!
THIS WEEK: Vollies Needed For Green Sweep Greenpoint
This item comes courtesy of the Greenpoint Business Alliance (of which, it should be noted, yours truly is a member!). We all know parts of the Garden Spot which are (sorely) in need of some sprucing up. Yours truly finds Dupont Street west of Franklin Street to be particularly offensive. If this kind of thing bothers you, gentle readers, as much as it does me and you want to lend a hand why not check out this meeting at the Red Star Bar? You can also volunteer via the email address listed on the above flier. Let’s make this happen!

Yes folks, it has happened again. True to form this culinary item was gone when I walked back by this afternoon. Hmm…
