Greenpoint Photo Du Jour: Stars & Stripes

starsandstripes

Josef repurposes a retired parking meter into an ad hoc piece of public art. While I am on the subject, I have been asked by a great many folks about this fellow. As it would happen, Nowy Dziennik published an article about him last year. Give it a look-see! (NOTE: Google translations from Polish to English are a mite bit “off”— but you’ll get the idea…)

Now At The Astral: Airbnb

One can only wonder what Cara’s rent-stabilized neighbors (Yes, the Astral is a rent-stabilized building!) would think about someone leasing a one bedroom apartment therein for $650.00 a week. I doubt they would be very pleased— but who knows? In any case, potential clients might be interested to know there’s ample availability later next month— but caveat emptor:

airbnbsc

She appears to be charging $120.00 per night on Fridays and Saturdays.

P.S.: Oh yeah, while I am on the subject of hotels— a booking of four will net you a bottle of wine at this place

It’s been a while since I have revisited one of my favorite subjects: vacation rentals. Thankfully a tipster brought this listing to my attention. She writes (in an email entitled “WTF”?):

Heather, you’ve been to my building and in my apartment. This apartment must be on the other side of the looking glass.   WTF

I know what you’re thinking, gentle readers: what is going here. Well, the following should elucidate matters somewhat.

This is 127 Dupont Street.
