This is a far cry from the Taco Bell/KFC of old where one could (and in my case did) find men shooting up in the bathroom.

Tonight’s CB1 meeting was not terribly lively— but I did learn something that will undoubtedly be of interest to Greenpointers be they for or against the proposed homeless shelter slated for 400 McGuinness Boulevard: Monday, September 27 at 6:30 p.m. a hearing will be conducted at our very own Polish National Home. This will be presided over by the Public Safety Committee Chair (and all around bad ass): Mieszko Kalita. I admonish each and every Greenpointer reading this to make it a point to attend and have your say!

FRIDAY: Supper For A Good Cause

It’s been a long time— too long— since I have a nod to the wonderful Co-Pastors who operate the Greenpoint Reformed Church. Not only do these lovely ladies give succor to our neediest—- but they’re really cool to boot! This post is an attempt to catch up. Here it goes.

This upcoming Friday, September 17, they will be conducting a fund-raising supper for their food pantry and soup kitchen.

The (tentative) menu (whose produce/foodstuffs has been donated from local farms/businesses!) is as follows:

  • Soup—Sunchoke with crispy brussel sprouts
  • Salad—Vegetarian Nicoise: Lettuce, string beans, potatoes, boiled eggs, etc…
  • Main Course—Creamy Polenta, fire roasted tomato ragout, grilled veggies, garlicky greens
  • Dessert—(the most tentative menu item!) Sugared crepes, carmelized apples, Van Leeuwen ice cream (!)

A cocktail hour will be conducted in the backyard from 6:30 – 8:30 as well. Among the offerings are:

vodka with mint syrup and raspberries and bourbon with ginger juice and lemon—as well as wine–$8 suggested donation per drink.

This includes “snacks”. Check it out!

New York Shitty Day Ender: Hanging Out To Dry

This vision hails from McCarren Park and is (hopefully) a harbinger of what some of our more, um, notorious “public servants” will experience after the votes have been tallied from tonight’s primary!
