Well, the Greenpoint Hotel is already starting to ring in the new year.
Indeed.

Happy New Year From New York Shitty!
When I awakened this morning I discovered so much good stuff in my photo pool I could not resist sharing a slew of them today. This comely trio of lasses comes courtesy of Chris Arnade and hails from Jackson Heights!

Rounding out today’s (and the year’s) postage a bit early I leave you with this image from McCarren Park. Have a happy (and safe) New Year’s everybody!

Where The Sidewalk Ends
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Bloomblight, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
This is the impediment which faced the Mister and I as we endeavored to go to Kenny’s Trattoria last night (we crossed the street because the sidewalk along McCarren Park along Bedford Avenue was a mess). It is located where the Automobile High School ends and Parks Department property astensibly our open space begins. A cordon sanitaire or simple incompetence? I’ll leave you, dear readers, to make the call. All, I’m saying is I saw Parks employees spreading copious amounts of salt at the corner of Bedford Avenue and North 12 Street yesterday morning. Yup.
Miss Heather
P.S. and while I am on the subject:
Where’s the sidewalk? I ask because walking on Union Avenue is friggin’ scary.
There should be a sidewalk here.
You have no idea how grimly amusing I find our mayor facilitating over-development by fly-by-night developers such as the shit heap you see at left (there were buildings there once— I swear) and then is seemingly surprised when very people he has enabled to move into north Brooklyn (who will undoubtedly inhabit the edifice to the right) have the temerity to complain.

*Whose tome amused me tremendously. Especially this part:
Note to Mayor’s office: The “homebound” make for the perfect angry commenters/hecklers, as long as their Internet service holds out.
I can personally attest to this. God can I ever. I can only hope the rage I found in my inbox is but .00000001% of what found its way to Bloomie’s doorstep.
New York Shitty Day Starter: Need To Get Plowed?
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
This item comes from the New York Shitty inbox (which I have since heard is on the Community Board 1 Yahoo Group as well). Ashley Thompson writes (in regards to rather lengthy missive written by yours truly):
Thanks for your email. I will respond more in depth when I’m more alert in the morning (I wrote Ashley rather late, cut her some slack— Ed. Note.) but I did want to make sure you received this email sent out by CM Levin earlier this evening regarding the storm clean-up. Please feel free to circulate/post the message below. Streets that still need to be plowed and any first-hand accounts or complaints about the storm can be emailed to me athompson (at) council (dot) nyc (dot) gov or to slevin (at) council (dot) nyc (dot) gov…
Actually I didn’t get it. Initially, anyway. But here it is!
I realize the above missive might be hard for some to read. No worries: you can see a larger version by clicking here.
Ms. Thompson will be available all weekend to field your complaints via email. Use it. She’s our Ms. Plow!
