Greenpoint Photo Du Jour: Milton Street

This post is dedicated to all of the little ghosts, ghouls and goblins I saw while knocking around the Garden Spot today. May your candy be plentiful (and and be constituted of chocolate)!

Filmed from Greenpoint Brooklyn I was able to get the before and after of the NYC skyline as half of the power went out in Manhattan.

Thank you so much for sharing this with me, Edmond!

The Word On The Street: Special October 31st Edition

All of you, dear readers, are undoubtedly aware, today is Halloween. What you may not be aware of is today is special (at least to yours truly) for another reason. I’ll let the following heartfelt exchange from Chez Shitty clue you in as to why.

The Mister (working from home): Did you make enough coffee for both of us?
Me: Of course I did. We need to celebrate this most momentous occasion.
Mister: Happy anniversary.
Me: No, the landlord turned the heat on.*

(roars of laughter from the Mister and yours truly)

Here’s to seven years of fucking up.

Photo Credits/Props: Go to Lindsay Dubs for granting yours truly permission to share this photo. Thanks!

*It’s true. The last time this happened was in August. I am not kidding.

Happy Halloween From New York Shitty!

That’s right: it is yours truly’s favorite day of the year! Have a happy and safe one, folks!

Hello Miss Heather,
Hope you’re safe and all that. Wanted to share a Greenpoint Sandy photo. I am fortunate enough to live on Dupont St. and have a great skyline view. Here’s what I just shared on my instagram/facebook:

A bright rainbow appears in front of the NYC Skyline after Sandy’s worst. I love my view, I LOVE THIS TOWN #nyc #sandy #greenpoint #rainbowconnection

Hope you like it and share it… Stay safe and warm and all that crap!

Outstanding shot, Max— thank you so much for passing it along!
