A Donia Cafe Update: Not So Fast…
Today I swung by Donia Cafe to see if it was— as a commenter recently indicated— in fact, open for business. First up, the bad news:
Donia Cafe is not open— just yet. But I noticed signs of activity and knocked on the door. A very nice man (who I presume to be the owner) answered. I asked him when they were slated to open. Now the good news: he said Donia will open this upcoming Tuesday— and was nice enough to give me a menu (which you can get a sneak peek of by clicking here)!

Opening Date: August 14 August 17

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Al Fresco Living At Manhattan Avenue Park
Earlier this week I broke the news that 400 McGuinness Boulevard may very well become a 200 bed homeless facility. If what I found in my inbox is any indication, this may not be such a bad thing. For a city that purportedly never sleeps, I seem to find people getting a little shut eye damned near everywhere nowadays. This is especially true of our precious (and, it should be noted: poorly managed) park space. What makes this case special is, well, see for yourself…

This particular group has been camping out in Manhattan Ave St. End Park for about a week now. Their group is getting bigger & they now have a blow up mattress & other gear there…
WOW.

From The New York Shitty Photo Pool, Part II: Saturday At The Park

Miss Mousey Brown (who took the above photograph this morning) writes:
Saturday 11:00 am. I took a 5 minute break from gardening to go use the port-a-potty between the handball courts. As I was walking back over I see this woman checking to see if she could get in the garden. I had locked it, for which I am thankful. I thought she might be the person that throws rotten rye bread in the garden (which the birds NEVER eat , btw) She was actually looking for a spot to dump an explosive diarrhea. She found one. When she saw me with my camera she hightailed it down Lorimer, with some sort of wardrobe malfunction going on.
NICE.

New York Shitty Slide Show Du Jour: Two Feet, Two Boroughs, Three Bridges & Four Hours
Filed under: 11101, 11206, 11211, 11222, 11378, Blissville, Blissville Queens, Crazy Cat Lady, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Laurel Hill Queens, Maspeth, Newtown Creek, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
As I intimated yesterday I took a four hour photo walk with an occasional contributor to the New York Shitty photo pool and full-time Greenpointer: Noah Devereaux. He was the tour guide. Where he went, I followed. Chattering a great deal of the way. The following should give you some idea of our route.
We started at Greenpoint and Manhattan Avenue at 6:00 p.m. and, almost four hours later, ended up back there. The following slide show (including the lovely, if surreal, shots of the ecological wonder that is English Kills— which grace the beginning of this post) features everything in between. Enjoy!
As always you can (and should) view these images in large format by clicking here.

Rounding today’s post (because I have just returned from four hour photo walk with the fabulously talented and equally nice Noah Devereaux— I’m beat and have over 200 photos to sort!) I present to you another nifty light sculpture by Justin Mair. Great stuff!
