New York Shitty Slide Show Du Jour: 5Pointz
As promised, here are some highlights from today’s trip to 5Pointz. Enjoy!
The one thing I learned while wandering around this amazing facility is you simply cannot document with it a camera: it has to be experienced in person. Those of you who have the time and/or inclination really should go there and see it for yourself. It’s really neat!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Greenpoint Food Market
Joann Kim (who sent me the above flier) writes:
As summer wanes and the crisp fall air makes room for more snuggle time we’re preparing for another awesome Saturday at the market. Since it’s launch we’ve had a mix of returning and new vendors and it’s been amazing to sample and take home sweet and spicy caramel, baba ghanouj, coffee and some amazing scallion pancakes. This week we’ve got folks providing soup, caramel, pickles, jam, empanadas, spreads and baked goods and more all ready to consume and take home, so make sure to come by and sample some delicious treats!
We’d also like to make a humble request, only to ask you to continue spreading the good word about Greenpoint Food Market within your community. We depend on word of mouth and a curious and hungry belly and appreciate your support thus far.
I have a confession to make: this is something I have long planned to check out but have simply never gotten around to. Methinks this weekend I will have to do something about this. You can learn more about the Greenpoint Food Market by checking out their web site. CAVEAT: do not click the previous link if you are hungry!

Long Island City Photo Du Jour: No Trespassing
Since my web site was up and down today (mostly down) I decided to do something I have always wanted to do: take a stroll around 5Pointz in Long Island City. It was on Crane Street (next to a “No Trespassing” sign, no less) that I stumbled upon Walter. “World of pain” or not I simply had to pass him along one and the same. Closing on that note (that being one of pain) I am off to nurse a sore throat. You can anticipate a slide show featuring highlights from my 5Pointz experience later this evening. So stay tuned!

Greenpoint Photos Du Jour: Fat Boy R.I.P.
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Newtown Creek
Ever since I got the sad news about Fat Boy last night I have not been able to get him off my mind. More specifically, I was wondering exactly what the fuck he is. Or perhaps that should be what he was? Anyway, I just got back from a sojourn to the Manhattan Avenue park. Sure enough, he was still there.
Wait a minute. Didn’t our local Parks guru tell me he was going to be picked up this morning?
Well, I guess it is morning somewhere. In any case it would appear that in this mortal coil Fat Boy was a gerbil…
and true to his name, he is was rather rotund.
Goodbye, little fella.

UPDATE, October 8, 2009: Fat Boy has been removed— presumably by the Parks Department.
