Filmed from Greenpoint Brooklyn I was able to get the before and after of the NYC skyline as half of the power went out in Manhattan.
Thank you so much for sharing this with me, Edmond!
The Word On The Street: Special October 31st Edition
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Stuff That Makes Miss Heather Happy, The Word On The Street
All of you, dear readers, are undoubtedly aware, today is Halloween. What you may not be aware of is today is special (at least to yours truly) for another reason. I’ll let the following heartfelt exchange from Chez Shitty clue you in as to why.
The Mister (working from home): Did you make enough coffee for both of us?
Me: Of course I did. We need to celebrate this most momentous occasion.
Mister: Happy anniversary.
Me: No, the landlord turned the heat on.*
(roars of laughter from the Mister and yours truly)
Here’s to seven years of fucking up.
Photo Credits/Props: Go to Lindsay Dubs for granting yours truly permission to share this photo. Thanks!
*It’s true. The last time this happened was in August. I am not kidding.
Happy Halloween From New York Shitty!

Hello Miss Heather,
Hope you’re safe and all that. Wanted to share a Greenpoint Sandy photo. I am fortunate enough to live on Dupont St. and have a great skyline view. Here’s what I just shared on my instagram/facebook:A bright rainbow appears in front of the NYC Skyline after Sandy’s worst. I love my view, I LOVE THIS TOWNÂ #nyc #sandy #greenpoint #rainbowconnection
Hope you like it and share it… Stay safe and warm and all that crap!
Outstanding shot, Max— thank you so much for passing it along!

These resources have been brought to my attention by the fine folks at EWVIDCO (East Williamsburg Valley Industrial Development Corporation, for those of you who are not in the know). Via their Facebook page:
Please forward to any Greenpoint businesses impacted by Sandy
“NYC Dept. of Small Business Services has an Emergency Response Unit specifically to provide assistance for businesses that are forced to interrupt their operations due to “unavoidable disasters” such as Hurricane Sandy. This unit has helped businesses deal with a wide range of issues.

Done! Those who are in need (or are simply curious) can can get more information about applying for disaster assistance via FEMA by clicking here. Otherwise, this incredibly handy portal can not only help you determine if you qualify for help, but you can apply for aid there as well. Check ’em out!
