From The New York Shitty Inbox: Service Advisory
Charles Vestal (who sent me the above image) opines:
The news here isn’t really so much that the Habitat is not serving brunch in a few weekends (though it is the most delicious brunch in the hood I’ve found), but that transportation outages have become such a common sight, that a local gastropub can use them to play off their business hours changing. Cute! And sad.
Look at this way, Charles: at least they aren’t inflicting shuttle buses on the general public in the dead of winter!

I am having to relocate to the UK and due to their quarantine laws Dee Dee can’t travel for approx 6 months (until 21st July) so i am looking for someone to look after him until I can come back to pick him up then. He is approx 7 months old and completely healthy. He does need one trip to the vet (the one he goes to is in Brooklyn) to get neutered and have his second FCVRP vaccination sometime around the 11th-18th February. He’s a really affectionate and easy-going cat although still in his kitten stage (so a little excitable). I would obviously pay for all vet’s bills, food etc. The problem is that I’m leaving on Friday so I am looking for someone to take him in either on Thursday or Friday morning. Let me know if you know anyone or would be interested. It breaks my heart to leave him and I would like to leave him in good hands. 
Perhaps yours? Ever wondered if you have the stuff to be a crazy cat person? Here’s your chance to find out! The details about Siobhan’s situation are scant but there’s one inalienable truth: this little guy is damned cute and deserves a good home before he goes “across the pond”.
Anyone interested in giving Dee Dee (named after, I would presume, yours trulys least favorite Ramone) a temporary home should contact Siobhan ASAP at:

Thanks!

Reader Contribution Du Jour: Still Works!

Greenpoint Photos Du Jour: 271 Nassau Avenue Gets That Touch of Urban Authenticity
Filed under: 11222, Abjectecture, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
The construction fence isn’t even down and yet this edifice (which could pass as “workers housing” in any country with “People’s Republic” in its moniker) has already received a make-over.
Impressive.
