hello! fellow greenpoint resident here with a suggestion for a fine halloween-themed post. have you seen the haunted house on 270 eckford? it’s covered in runes and a huge spraypainted 666… definitely 100% confirmed to be inhabited by ghosts.

It’s been awhile since I have paid this neighborhood treasure a visit so I swung by this morning.

Any brave souls out there care to make an offer?

Lost & Found On Monitor Street

Given these fliers were found literally a block apart on Monitor Street I have to wonder if the kitty in question is one and the same. Since no gender is given on the latter flier there’s no way of knowing for certain. Nonetheless, if you are missing a cat— or happen to know who this kitty belongs to— please contact his (her?) good Samaritan at the above-listed telephone number.

Thanks!

A New York Shitty Public Service Announcement: Lose Something?

If the above-depicted item belongs to you might want to swing by the intersection of Diamond Street and Meserole Avenue and pick it up before the local constabulary does. It is located directly across the street from Cafe Grumpy.*

*To answer the question before you ask it: No, I did not take this bag of fun. As a general rule I do not consume items I find on the street in Greenpoint. To date there has been one notable exception to this practice: 7-8 years ago my buddy Rachael and I found a magnum of champagne inexplicably left in the street at the intersection of Guernsey and Meserole Avenue. After we ascertained the wrapper was intact (and deduced it was left for us by Greenpoint drinking gnomes or some disgruntled Post Office employee) we took it home and consumed it. It was a little flat, but hey, it was free! Ah, memories…

P.S.: You know the ‘nabe is really getting tony when you find baggies of grass this size gracing your sidewalks! Cheech and Chong would be proud!

P.S. #2: This post goes out to the very special Greenpointer who dropped by my place of employment this afternoon so as to give me a business card and request I call him/her lest I ever find anything of this nature near Cafe Grumpy— or anywhere— again.

Urban Fur: Meet Q-Tip

If there’s one thing yours truly likes it is pets named after inanimate objects. The fact this winsome (and fierce) little fella is named after something one usually associates with cleaning out one’s ears (among other things) is pure gravy. This post is for you (and your companion whose name I forget), Q-Tip!

(and much more) Lori writes:

Hi Heather.. wanted to see if you can help us spread the word for our Dia De Los Muertos/2 yr. anniversary/City Harvest canned food drive. Its on Nov 1st. from 5 til 930.  free beer. free tattoos* w/a purchase of a brewed to order coffee. (our sugar skull* must tip artist.)  It should be fun.  Maybe you can join us.  If not maybe you can help us get the word out. Thanks any help is big help.  We want to hit our goal of 200 lbs of food this year.

As it would happen I hit the Beaner Bar’s 1st Anniversary fiesta last year. It was a lot fun. I especially enjoyed the mariachi music. My tip for teetotalers: get their hot chocolate. It’s among the best to be had in Greenburg!
