Crosstown Local Photo Du Jour: Top Chef
Filed under: 11222, Crosstown Local, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
THIS IS AN ART PROJECT TITLE “BUNCH OF DUMBASSES IN THE WATER”
While scarcely a fan of television this gives me an opportunity to pass along some information that I (and undoubtedly the person who annotated this poster) found interesting. As it would happen there is Greenpointer in this season of Top Chef. Her name is Jacqueline Lombard and she is the fourth woman from the left.

Adoptable Cuties: Meet Stella & Chewy
When I saw the lovely photos Jay posted of these absolutely adorable Chihuahua/Yorkie mixes Dog Habitat recently rescued from a kill shelter I simply had to make their acquaintance. I am pleased to report that this not only came to pass earlier today— but Stella and Chewy are even more adorable in person! As you will see in the following video where Jay shares with us their story. Enjoy!
Chewy and Stella may be pint-sized pups— but they have a big dog appetite!
Anyone interested in giving either of these cuties the loving home they so richly deserve should contact Dog Habitat via telephone at (347) 601-8678 or via email at: rescue (at) doghabitat (dot) org.
Thanks!

Crosstown Local Photos Du Jour, Part II: Absolutly
Filed under: 11222, Crosstown Local, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
The more eagle-eyed among you probably noticed that the poster next to this solicitation is for Absolut Brooklyn. A Spike Lee “collaboration”. If my travels today on the humble Crosstown Local are any indication, dear readers, Mr. Lee and Absolut have “collaborated”— in the truest Vichy sense of the word— to thoroughly saturate this humble subway line (and Greenpoint, for that matter) with advertisements for this product. Much to the amusement and curiousity of my fellow Garden Spotters. Some of whom are under 30 years of age and have sense.
After witnessing the two above ladies giggling and pointing at this advertisement I initiated a conversation with them. I feel it is my responsibility as a Greenpoint blogger to gauge my community’s reaction to this product.
Me: Apple and ginger infused vodka. You know, because this neighborhood needs more vodka like it needs a hole in its head.
Ladies: Have you tried it?
Me: No, it sounds downright awful. There’s got to be at least 80 different kinds of vodka for sale around here. I am certain a better product can be had. I am partial towards Luksusowa myself.
Ladies: (laughter)
And with that the G train arrived and we were whisked away to our respective destinations.

P.S.: If the folks at Luksusowa (which is not only the winner of four gold medals but also is “non-allergenic”!) are reading this you can send all swag and checks made out to “cash” to:
Heather…
Just kidding. I already have a Flipcam. It has Hello Kitty on it. That’s about the best thing that can be said about it. In all seriousness:
- If a business wants to access my readership they purchase an advertisement. My editorial content is not for sale.
- Exactly what constitutes “non-allergenic” vodka? Thoughts anyone?

This unfortunate (but darkly amusing nonetheless) juxtaposition comes from a Church Avenue bound G train.
