From The New York Shitty Inbox: Take The Bodega Challenge!

sandaTHUMBThis 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.

A North Greenpoint PSA: The Indian Groceries Are In!

November 30, 2009 ·
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic 

Last night I took the Mister to see the marvel that is the Mini Mart Deli Grocery. True to the proprietor’s word, there was a slew of Indian delicacies awaiting our perusal.

Spices!

And for the less culinary inclined: Micro Curry!

food

All in all I was very impressed with all the foodstuffs they have managed to cram inside and outside this establishment. Not only are the usual suspects (such as tomatoes, which truth be told didn’t look so great.) in abundance but there was more exotic fare such as okra, ginger (some of the best I have seen hereabouts) and culantro (albeit labeled as “spinach”) for the picking. Make no mistake about it dear readers: I am very excited about this!

Just thought you might get a kick out of this ridiculous video shot at Greenpoint’s own Fruit and Deli Market.  Enjoy!

Not only did I almost feel of my chair laughing at this but it literally rendered the Mister speechless. I assure you this is no small accomplishment.  Thank you so much for passing this along, Colin!
