THIS WEEKEND: Le Petit Boudoir Grand Opening
Just over a month ago I was contacted by a very nice gentleman regarding a store he and his wife are opening on Franklin Street. His name is Mike and you might be interested to know he is the chap behind Mercat Negre on Grand Street. Naturally I had to get the 411 so I swung by. Things were a little rough— but it looked promising. As I left that day I asked Mike to give me a heads-up when they were closer to opening. This too has come to pass. In fact, I just got back from previewing what will be Le Petit Boudoir. I am pleased to report it is looking good!
Here’s what you can expect opening day (which is this upcoming Saturday!):
- Vintage clothing
- Sunglasses galore
- Handmade soaps and candles (I have been told they will be using produce from Greenpoint’s very own Rooftop Farms in some of these goodies!)
- jewelry and much, much more!
Check it out!

Closing on a Franklin Street related note, today I spoke with one of the owners of the restaurant slated to occupy 162 Franklin Street: Vamos Al Tequila. Not only was she nice enough to let me see their space…
but she assured me that enchiladas will be on their menu (which they hope to have finalized next week) and they plan to open in “10 days”. I can hardly wait!

Hi Miss Heather!
I’m a Greenpoint sister and a loyal reader of newyorkshitty. I just wanted to let you know there is a fantastic new cafe called Milk and Roses on Manhattan Ave. between Clay and Dupont. It’s BEAUTIFUL inside and they have a nice garden that is well on its way in the back. There is also an old baby grand piano inside. It’s my new favorite place in Greenpoint and it is unmissable. Go now before their liquor license comes through because I have a feeling when summer hits and the vino flows, it will be packed!
Thank you for the entertainment of newyorkshitty! I love my neighborhood and it is always nice to know that someone else appreciates Greenpoint. I wouldn’t live anywhere else in New York.

This morning I swung by to see this establishment for myself.
They have done a rather impressive job— and the cappuccino I had was rather tasty too! You can peruse Milk & Rose’s menu by clicking here. Check it out!

WTF?
I can only hope this “meet-up” is going down at the Nature Walk.

More sullen utterances of revolt from the Crosstown Local at Greenpoint Avenue.
