Greenpoint Pay Phone Du Jour: Munchies

July 28, 2010 ·
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic 

More often than not the Garden Spot’s public pay phones are a haven for empty with fifths of vodka, brandy and/or packs of cigarettes. So you can imagine my surprise when I spied this array of sensible snacks (replete with Hi-C!) at Greenpoint Avenue this afternoon. Could this be yet another sign of Greenpoint gentrification? I’ll let you, dear readers, make the call.

I was recently contacted by a reporter from the New York Daily News. She was interested in writing a story about Pistilli Realty (which as some of you know own and manage the Astral Apartments). As some of you can probably imagine, I had a few things to say about them. Regrettably they did not make it to print. However, this story is definitely worth a read. Check it out!

Crosstown Local Photo Du Jour: The Expendables

As far as subway poster mash-ups go this one is not terribly elegant. However, I found Mickey Rourke being reassigned top billing compelling.

Greenpoint Videos Du Jour: 3:10 p.m. On Manhattan Avenue

I have no idea what led up to this. No one I asked seemed to know either. In any case it made for a lively (if completely unnecessary) piece of street theater this afternoon. I realize the heat is really taking a toll on us New Yorkers. We’re hot, tired and angry. But please people, choose to “defuse”.
