Live From Rosemary’s Greenpoint Tavern: New York’s Bravest!
This morning yours truly got up bright and early. There was work to be done. Among other things I had to drop off a photo for developing, get a shipping container for another photo and drop off yet another photo to a friend who resides on Bedford Avenue. The latter-most task ended up being the highlight of my day. So far, anyway.
This is the vision which awaited me as I arrived at her apartment at 11:15 this morning: a gaggle of New York’s Bravest Cutest engaging in a little St. Paddy’s day merrymaking at Rosemary’s Greenpoint Tavern! Naturally I headed over without delay.
Me (to two of New York’s Bravest): Can I take your picture?
Bravest #1: You aren’t from the Post, are you?
Me: (excised*) NO!
(Bravest #1 and #2 line up to pose for yours truly)
Me: Okay, on the count of three. 1, 2, the Post Sucks!
Bravest #1 & #2: THE POST SUCKS!
This post goes out to the hardworking men and women of fair our city’s Fire Department. Happy St. Paddy’s Day!

As this sign from Christina’s Polish Restaurant attests: everyone’s Irish on St. Paddy’s Day! Have a very happy (and safe) St. Paddy’s Day, Greenpointers!

New York Shitty Day Ender: Roebling Street & Fillmore Place Revisited
I have noted on previous occasions that there are some pretty awesome murals going up at the above-listed location. After seeing these great photos from SMKjr’s flickr page I had to go back and see how things are progressing. Conclusion: pretty damned good!

Great Moments In Advertising: Drumsticks For The Masses!
Yours truly has seen a great deal of interesting advertising campaigns over the years. Curiously enough, a great many seem to involve fried chicken. Go figure. In any case, prior to stumbling upon this specimen (which hails from Broadway) I popped into a local bodega to get a cup of tea. It was there I overheard the chap at the cash register bantering with a customer regarding the tsunami in Japan. The latter:
I’m waiting for one to hit the Empire State Building.
Cashier: Tsunamis don’t get that big.
Customer: Yes they do. The biggest one ever was 500 times taller than the Empire State Building!
That’s pretty damned high, gentle readers. Then again, so was this guy. In all seriousness, bodega banter might be good for a chuckle but what is happening in Japan most decidedly is not. For this reason I encourage those of you who are able (Hey, I know times are tough) to make a donation to the Red Cross. This can be done by clicking here. Thanks!
