That’s Greenpoint for you, folks. Good times!

A stare.
A scratch.
A stretch.
A sniff.
And a bath.
These are the cats of Greenpoint’s waterfront and they come courtesy of Greenpointless. Who writes:
…I was so excited that I got them to come near me (with the help of a Cuban sandwich from the Franklin Corner Store) that I just kept snapping.
You can’t blame these felines for having good taste. Methinks a “New Mexico” sandwich with extra jalapenos will help keep me warm today!

P.S.: On a related note, Muddy Paws will be hosting an adoption event featuring this lovely gal today:
Her name is Shardene. She was on death’s doorstep when Lisacat found her. But Shardene is now healthy, spayed and in need of a home. Maybe yours?

New York Shitty Day Ender: A New Cafe On Franklin?
Yes folks, if this notice for a liquor license hearing (which has long since come to pass) in the window is any indication we’re slated to get another eatery at 105 Franklin Street. I researched the applicant, VPC Projects LLC, and all I could find is this restaurant bar will be called Veronica. Anyone have the 411 about this place? If so, please share via comments. Thanks!

UPDATE, 12/20/2009: It has been brought to my attention that this establishment will, in fact, be a bar and the people behind it operate a watering hole in Manhattan called “Heathers” (see comments). This begs the question as to when and where they will open a third venue called “Jason Dean”. I won’t even go into the drink specials…
I can only hope one of their cocktails will be “a Norwegian in the boiler room”— because I am not drinking anything blue coming from “Veronica”.
Happy Hanukkah From New York Shitty!
Yes, I am all too aware this celebration is well under way. But to set the record straight I was hard-pressed to find a bit of Greenpoint goodness to accompany my well-wishes. Today on Franklin Street this changed. Have a happy and safe one, my Jewish friends— and give that dreidel a whirl for me!

Nothing says the holiday season is in full swing in the Garden Spot of the Universe like an epidemic of “sticky fingers”. This having been stated, I have no idea what “touch your ass” means. What’s more, I don’t care to find out!
