P.S.: This post goes out to Posterchild. It would appear I have become his muse.
In regards to the above opus he wrote:
In the course of researching this work, I discovered that machines like the one I’m describing already exist. They are known as “Reverse Vending Machines†and I think that they are an absolutely outstanding idea!
Special thanks to Miss Heather of New York Shitty for inspiring this piece; she wrote to me: “You should hit some of the pay phones in my hood. They’re usually employed as trash receptacles for empty fifths of vodka and/or brandy. Among other things.â€
Thanks for getting me thinking about how people really use these payphones, and sorry that this didn’t make it’s way out to Greenpoint!
160 North 12 Street PSA: No Peeing Please
Filed under: 11211, Bloomblight, Culture War, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Upside down or otherwise I can personally attest that there is a public urination problem with this site. It makes me wonder what will happen when this site reaches fruition as a seven story hotel/ad hoc pissoir.

Lost on Metropolitan Avenue: Pippin
When I spied this flier (which hails from Metropolitan Avenue just north of the BQE) soliciting help to find a cat named Pippin I could not help but pass it along here. If any you have seen this handsome gent with “bright green eyes”, an “oatmeal-gray” coat and “chipped front right fang” or know of his whereabouts please contact his people at the above telephone numbers. Thanks!

P.S.: This post goes out to the peeps at Boing Boing for linking to my “Edie’s Big Adventure” post. The resulting traffic was enough to crash my server. Thanks for the blog love guys (and gals)!
From The New York Shitty Inbox: Take The Bodega Challenge!
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Brooklyn, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, New York City, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
This item comes courtesy of L Magazine’s publicist: a gentleman named Dan. He writes:
Us here at Electric Orange are fellow Greenpointers, and check out NY Shitty on daily basis. We do a lot of stuff online with development, promotions and such, but our favorite work tends to be around the neighborhood. One of our local clients (The L Magazine) has a pretty rad promotion going on right now that I wanted to tell you about. It centers around the local bodega, and they are going to be crowning the best reader submitted NYC bodega come December. The person who submits the winning entry will get their favorite beer hand-delivered to them by The L, from their bodega, for a week.
We have so many great bodegas in Greenpoint, so I wanted to pass this along to you and your readers.
Indeed. What’s more, 42 bottles of beer is pretty darned sweet way to kick of the holiday season! You can learn more about this contest by pointing and clicking your way to L Magazine’s web site. NOTE: the deadline for submissions is December 17th.

Crosstown Local Photo Du Jour: Edie Rides The G!
I don’t know about you but I simply cannot get enough of Edie, the strap-hanging hamster. For this reason you can imagine my surprise when I spotted her last Saturday night riding the pride and joy of the New York City subway system: the G train!
Where was Edie headed? Stay tuned and find out!

Williamsburg Gentrification Watch: Biergarten Brunch With Santa!
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
It’s a little known fact but Mister Heather was once “Santa” at a local business in Greenpoint. Granted, he was not drunk while discharging his duties (or sported a salmon under his beard) but he needed a stiff one shortly thereafter. For this reason I find the following event, which comes courtesy of north Brooklyn’s very own Town Square, truly innovative!
BEER AND BRUNCH WITH SANTA! Per the above flier:
…What’s that sound? Is it the jingle of Santa’s bells? Guess what kids? Santa is coming to Williamsburg for a delicious brunch at Radegast Hall & Biergarten!
Brunch With Santa!
December 12, 2009; 11:00 – 1:00 p.m.
Radegast Hall & Biergarten
113 North 3 Street
Childrensburg, Brooklyn, 11211
Those of you who are interested in learning more about this event should contact Caroline at: caroline (at) townsquareinc (dot) com. NOTE: Seating is limited and high chairs are not available.
