New York Shitty Mini Slide Show du Jour: Now With Weekend Hours!
Although I broke the good news about Far Better Towing’s pinball parlor almost two years ago, this morning I noted a number of new amenities (among other things) which I believe merit mention. Feeling deliciously lazy I am opting to sharing them via slide show versus writing about them. Enjoy!
Am I the only person who wants to check this place out on a Saturday night?

Greenpoint Food Watch: Happenings On Manhattan Avenue
Yesterday I shared the good news about a Dunkin Donuts slated to grace Freeman Street. Today I have a few more food-related items to pass along. Without further ado, here they are!
685 Manhattan Avenue
These chaps were a mite bit shy about letting me film their work in progress, but they were more than happy to tell me that a sandwich shop will be opening up in this space. Their estimated opening date for this establishment is June 27th.

A hop-skip down the block is this wonderful old-school storefront. This it will not be for much longer; per the gentlemen working there it is slated to become a fried chicken restaurant. I cannot honestly profess to be terribly excited about this but then again, I am a vegetarian!
