TOMORROW: George Diaz Does Cafecito
I knew something was up when George made a beeline to me on Manhattan Avenue today. This is not to suggest we are not friends: we are. Rather, he had a glint in his eye. It bespoke of impending mischief. Sure enough, that’s exactly what it was.
Tomorrow, May 16, our neighborhood bad ass and brains behind Latino Laughter will be a guest barista at Cafecito Bogota. Aside from “jailhouse coffee” being in the offing I honestly do not what this will entail. Truth be told, I doubt George does either. In any case he is a really funny guy so you can probably expect a heaping helping of stand-up (and attitude) with your java!

Greenpoint Photos Du Jour: Gearing Up For “The Bounty”
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic
Tomorrow they will commence filming The Bounty, an “action/comedy” featuring Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler right here in Greenpoint. Provided the weather holds. When I told one of the men charged with overseeing the last minute preparations that the weather is going to be iffy, he said:
We’ll work with it.
You gotta love an attitude like that. Here’s a slide show of how things were shaping up when I walked by today. Enjoy!
To close on a more local note Champion Coffee, arguably one of the best purveyors of java in north Greenpoint, will be closed until June 19th.
Coffee lovers needing a Monday (Tuesday and Wednesday) morning commute caffeine fix should plan accordingly. My recommendation: Cafecito Bogota. Not only are the co-proprietors of this business incredibly nice chaps, but the cholados are amazing!

Congratulations Cafecito!

Those of you who have not done so already might want to check out today’s New York Times $25 and Under feature: our very own Cafecito got a rather admirable bit of bandwith and top billing!
