From The New York Shitty Inbox: Happy Hanukkah From The MTA!
Not really—- but I thought this subway themed greeting card (as brought to my attention by my buddy Dreidel Hustler) was too cool NOT to resist posting. Hell, it even includes the Crosstown Local! Or part of what is left of it, anyway. If I had one criticism of this card it would be this: they forgot the manifold and baroque service suspensions for the aforementioned “line” on weekends. In any case, you purchase ’em in packs of six by clicking here!

New York Shitty Slide Show Du Jour: The “Sex Room” & More
As I have mentioned previously today yours truly took a sojourn in Queens. It was in Long Island City that I stumbled upon “The Sex Room”.
For reasons which require no explanation, I had to go inside…
and the joke was on me! So it goes. Without further ado follows is a slide show of highlights from this location.
As always you can see these images in larger format by clicking here.

New York Shitty Street Seating Du Jour: Autumn In Maspeth
Given that all things 1980’s seem to be the rage nowadays I could not resist sharing this fine specimen from Maspeth. It should be noted that I found something else of interest at this location today— but that is the subject of another post!

From The New York Shitty Photo Pool, Part II: Pigeons
I was too pooped to accompany Carnade on his quest for pigeon peeps yesterday. I went home. Given these great shots I regret my decision!

Spotted In Long Island City: Something Neat
Today, dear readers, I could not resist stepping away from the keyboard and stepping out into the industrial hinterlands of southwestern Queens. This is something I have been meaning to do for sometime as I always find something interesting and unexpected. This morning was no different.
It was at the entrance of the footbridge under the Queens Midtown Expressway that I stumbled upon a garden.
The Footbridge Garden, to be precise.
Here are some marigolds.
As I continued exploring I quickly learned I was not alone. This bee was enjoying a little breakfast…
and it would appear this urban oasis is presided over by a custodian of the four-legged variety.
Make that a very well fed custodian of the four-legged variety! Those are some damned nice dishes. I wonder if he (she?) got them at Ikea?

Urban Fur: Green Pup In Greenpoint
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Urban Fur
Your eyes are not deceiving you.
This pup (which I spied on Eagle Street and whose name is “Smudgy”) is in fact, chartreuse in hue.
Obviously I had to get to the bottom of this. Me:
I thought I was seeing things. Your dog really is green!
Smudgy’s Person:
Yeah, we dyed him for Halloween. We wanted to dress him up as Yoda but he came out looking toxic.
Me: So he was more like a Newtown Creek dog!
S.P.: Exactly!
