Mark Your Calendars: September 27, 2010
Tonight’s CB1 meeting was not terribly lively— but I did learn something that will undoubtedly be of interest to Greenpointers be they for or against the proposed homeless shelter slated for 400 McGuinness Boulevard: Monday, September 27 at 6:30 p.m. a hearing will be conducted at our very own Polish National Home. This will be presided over by the Public Safety Committee Chair (and all around bad ass): Mieszko Kalita. I admonish each and every Greenpointer reading this to make it a point to attend and have your say!

Reader Comment Of The Day: & Now Videos?
Just when I thought the summer sensation that was 66 North 1 Street had gone away for good, it would appear we have one last hurrah thanks to a commenter named pretzel. He/she writes:
So, I went to the last open house of this condo (I thought I had done my research, but I guess I missed this whole fiasco.) This explains some of the weird things dirty aspects of a few of the units: there was some liquid spilled all over the counter that the brokers didn’t bother to clean up (thought it was coffee, but now I’m sure it was something more sinister), there was a creepy collection of VHS tapes (!!! — Ed. Note) scattered about, and one of the bathrooms literally smelled like piss. So, thank you New York Shitty. You’ve helped me and hopefully several other people the dodge a bullet of this poorly maintained shithole.
VHS?!? Good god, what is Williamsburg coming to? I this was purely the stuff of Greenpoint porn enthusiasts.

FRIDAY: Supper For A Good Cause
It’s been a long time— too long— since I have a nod to the wonderful Co-Pastors who operate the Greenpoint Reformed Church. Not only do these lovely ladies give succor to our neediest—- but they’re really cool to boot! This post is an attempt to catch up. Here it goes.
This upcoming Friday, September 17, they will be conducting a fund-raising supper for their food pantry and soup kitchen.
The (tentative) menu (whose produce/foodstuffs has been donated from local farms/businesses!) is as follows:
- Soup—Sunchoke with crispy brussel sprouts
- Salad—Vegetarian Nicoise: Lettuce, string beans, potatoes, boiled eggs, etc…
- Main Course—Creamy Polenta, fire roasted tomato ragout, grilled veggies, garlicky greens
- Dessert—(the most tentative menu item!) Sugared crepes, carmelized apples, Van Leeuwen ice cream (!)
A cocktail hour will be conducted in the backyard from 6:30 – 8:30 as well. Among the offerings are:
vodka with mint syrup and raspberries and bourbon with ginger juice and lemon—as well as wine–$8 suggested donation per drink.
This includes “snacks”. Check it out!
