Filed under: 11211, Bushwick, Crosstown Local, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
From the Metropolitan Avenue stop of the G.
P.S.: Those of who are into this sort of thing (okay, even I have to admit this “hip hop puppet ballet” is kind of nifty) will be pleased to know this troupe will be performing at The Bushwick Starr next weekend. Click here for dates, times and cost of admission!
More Day of the Dead Fun
Filed under: 11211, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Those of you who are in search of more Day of the Dead fun in north Brooklyn are in luck: I have two more events to pass along to you. Here they are!
First up, Huitzilli will be serving up chocolate and churros (imagine a cinnamon flavored cheeto and you have the general idea) Sunday, November 1st, from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m.. While you’re there be sure to check out some of their great Day of the Dead wares. Here are a few highlights.
Sugar skulls galore.
Fun jewelry.
And of course I would feel remiss if I didn’t mention this Porkysesque bit of mirth. CAVEAT: Previous link may not be safe for work.
Check it out!

This item comes courtesy of my buddy Bitchcakes. Here’s the 411 per their email announcement:
Try and come by for our annual Dia de los Muertos holiday at our coffee bar where we honor our passed family and friends with food, drinks (e,g, new Azteca mex chocolate/espresso shots), decor, and more. Pass flyer on to your friends!
Although the official celebration is Monday afternoon after 6pm, the coffee bar will have the traditional ofrenda (altar) loaded with pictures and mementos of lost loved ones this weekend til next weekend. I’ll be working Saturday early afternoon til 3pm and Sunday morning til 1:30. Try our tamale plates (w/ elote/Mexican corn) and mexican mocha IF you haven’t been by yet.
I have tried the Mexican mocha. It is nothing short of amazing. Coupled with their tamales you have a winning combination!

Starts Saturday, October 31 and runs through November 7, 2009

Okay these city critters aren’t so wild— but they make for a nice interlude this Wednesday afternoon. A special New York Shitty thanks goes out to Tristan Culbert for sharing these finds with us. Thanks!

The River Street Scrivener
Some of you might remember this interesting find which I made last month: a squat cum-open air art gallery I found on River Street between North 1st and Grand Street (as seen above and at left). You can read my post about it in its entirety by clicking here.
Anyhoo, I have walked by this site numerous times since. Once I found a gaggle of crusties hanging out there— but they didn’t strike me as being the the kind of folk who would be responsible for this.
I recently learned I was correct.
It’s this guy (seen busy at work around the corner on North 1st Street).
When he runs out of paper chap presses into service whatever happens to be at hand.
Walls.
Inside a roll of tape.
But mostly walls.
All the previous and more can be seen in larger format on my flickr page. Enjoy!
