TONIGHT IN GREENPOINT: Lap Dances & Champagne Room
Those of you who prefer twigs and berries to mistletoe this holiday season will be delighted to know that tonight the “Adonis Lounge” will be hosting a private party featuring fifteen of New York’s “hottest Men”, lap dances, champagne room and full bar and “full stage show”. If the address of this establishment, 113 Franklin Street, sounds vaguely familiar that’s because it is the location of the Production Lounge. Perhaps they have decided to diversify from hip-hop to himbos?

Get your stripper rolls ready, ladies and gents. It’s going to be a bumpy (and grindy) night!

UPDATE, December 18, 2009: If my inbox and what I have been told in person today is any indication, both 311 and the 94th Precinct received a lot of angry phone calls last night. In one such case regarding the latter the desk Sargent advised the caller that this was, in fact, illegal but they (the police department) could do nothing about it. The he advised him/her to call 311.
Greenpoint Photo Du Jour: Cheer!
This festive holiday tableau (which features none other than the 42nd President of the United States, William Jefferson Clinton, sporting a rather sizable cigar!) hails from Franklin Street.

P.S.: It is even more stunning after dark!
From The New York Shitty Photo Pool: Parade!
Many of you will recall the weather last Sunday was downright dismal. This is why I and undoubtedly many others stayed home. If Greenpointless’s lovely photographs from the Virgen de Guadelupe Parade on Manhattan Avenue (like the above image) are any indication, we missed out on something really special. You can view her entire set by clicking here. Go ahead and do it; you won’t regret it!

THIS WEEKEND: Sip & Shop
Yesterday I shared with you the good news (for holiday shopping procrastinators like myself, anyway) about the Greenpoint Reformed Church’s Holiday Flea Market. Well, I have even more local shopping goodness to pass along: there will be a second sale the same day only blocks away!
Among the goodies promised at this event are vintage apparel, hatboxes, decorative items, kitschy curiosities and “retro drink specials”. Although I myself make it a point to never drink and shop (it’s hazardous to my wallet) this sounds like a mighty fun way to get one’s holiday shopping done while buying local. Check it out!

THIS WEEK: Tits 4 Totes Calendar Party
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Advanced Life Forms, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
No, not those tits (as seen at left). This event will be showcasing the more comely (and hopefully less aromatic) variety to raise funds for the North Brooklyn composting project. My tipster Angela Barrow (of Cheek-ie Designs) writes:
greetings miss H!
