This oldie but goody (and yours truly’s favorite reader contribution EVER) hails from (where else?) Bushwick. Party on, north Brooklynites— but not too hard!
New York Shitty Day Ender: Java Street Park
This morning it was brought to my attention that someone has seen fit to “add value” to my tar bucket installation. Intrigued, I decided to swing by and see it for myself. Follows are a few highlights from my visit. Enjoy!
People were present.
As were a great many a duck– and of course the reason for my trip.
A sparkling new addition to Tar Bucket #2!
A reviewer on CellarTracker.com opines of this product:
A little nail polish on the nose, with just the slightest hint of citrus. It’s a bit tight. A little more expressive on the palate, but still pretty tight. It has the nail polish and citrus, plus a little yeast at the end.
Just like Greenpoint! Nonetheless I sensed something was missing. So I whipped out my sidewalk chalk.
See you next year!

Now For Sale In Greenpoint: Orient Apple Vodka
When I saw the above item gracing the window of our numerous liquor stores (Dunne’s Polemost Liquor methinks) I paused. It seemed inexplicably familiar to me. Then it hit me. This is virtually identical to a product Absolut created in “collaboration” with Spike Lee: Absolut Brooklyn. Some of the more seasoned readers of New York Shitty might recall there was some controversy about its sponsorship of Brooklyn Blogfest V— and offering freebies/cheapies in exchange for editorial content on Brooklyn blogs. But the past is just that—- the past. What I, a woman who lives in a community with PLENTY of vodka choices, wanted to know was this:
What’s the fucking difference?
After some research I found the answer!
Absolut Brooklyn is vodka made with “red apple and ginger flavor”. So there!
Photo Credits: The close-up of Absolut Brooklyn comes courtesy of NotCot.com which regurgitates the following bit of ad copy:
“its flavor evokes the spice and vibrancy Brooklyn brings to the big apple”
Provided they’re red apples, of course.
