This wonderful image (which hails from our very own Newtown Creek Nature Walk!) is better appreciated in a larger format than the constraints of my humble web site will allow. It comes courtesy of Aonghais McInnes who, I feel compelled to mention, is an absolutely amazing photographer. Do give his Flickr page a look-see. It is well worth the time!

North Brooklyn Photo Du Jour: Southside Supper
Filed under: Williamsburg
When I encountered this spot of al fresco dining yesterday evening I knew it was too exquisite to pass up documenting it for all posterity here on New York Shitty. As you can see all the necessities have been provided: a bowl, spoon, eggs, a 24 ounce can of PBR (smashed— not unlike the person probably consumed it) and a “mystery bag” which is undoubtedly filled with culinary delights of a very exotic nature.
Interested gourmands take note: this table for one is located at South 4th Street and the Brooklyn Queens Expressway. Best to place your reservation far in advance. I have little doubt this newest entrant to the north Brooklyn restaurant scene will be harder to get into than Nobu soon enough. Perhaps it’ll even get a Michelin mention? In any case I give this phat spread four stars.

TODAY: NAG Town Hall Meeting
This item was brought to my attention by my buddy over at Brooklyn11211. Among the items to be discussed at this meeting will be their North Brooklyn Story Project which, as it would happen, is still taking volunteers. Why not take some time out of your evening tonight and learn more about what NAG is cooking up for our community?

I can only hope the “Seedballs” project will be brought to the table. I realize this is sophomoric but I cannot read, much less write, this word without giggling like a school girl. Good times.

TOMORROW: A Little Bluepoint In Greenpoint
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic
I happened upon this yesterday while walking by The Habitat and (being a fan of fruit and rye beer) feel compelled to pass it along. While you’re quaffing some Bluepoint why not try a little of their award-winning mac and cheese? It’s the food of choice for three out of three “Greenpoint celebrities”!*

Crosstown Local Photo Du Jour: Greenpoint Avenue
The Crosstown Local (otherwise known as the G) on any given day has a lot of angry passengers. Sometimes they their frustration by defacing subway posters. In this case the Metropolitan College of New York was the target of their ire.
Thankfully we also have copy editors.

Coming Up: Craft On Draught
I’ve been doing a lot of spring cleaning of late. You know, getting rid of stuff you told yourself— REPEATEDLY— that you would do something with. But never did. Here’s your opportunity to dump, drink and make. Leslie writes:
Bring out your busted sewing projects, tired T-shirts, hideous hand-me-downs—basically all the crappy clothes from your closet that you don’t want anymore, or the stuff you’ve been meaning to make awesome—for the ultimate happy hour of destruction, reconstruction, and social mixing!
You provide the scrap, we’ll provide the beer, inspiration, crafting tools, and help from author-crafters Heather Ross and Kayte Terry—plus special projects for purchase: Scrappliqué undies, totebags, cards, jewelry boxes, picture frames, onesies and T-shirts (with that new T-shirt smell)!
WHAT: Craft in Draught Debut
WHEN: April 2, 2009.
WHERE: Spacecraft Brooklyn
355 Bedford Avenue
