Crosstown Local Fashion Watch: Pretty In Pink

Today yours truly went for a photo walk with a good friend of mine: algul siento. Although it was a most enjoyable jaunt it was cold. Bitter cold. However, when we hopped on the G train at Broadway this woman’s fabulous fettle (and attitude to match) warmed us up considerably. After I took the above photograph this most stylish lass said:

Please don’t make me look fat… it’s all skirt!

Inasmuch as I can ascertain— and not that it really matters, mind you— it was.

Any idea what is happening at 2376 mcguinness? Formerly gothic cabinet. Looks like a food market – I spotted what appeared to be coolers for beverages and shelving units being set up as I drove past.

Well, today I walked by and…

this does appear to be the case! Anyone have the 411 (or opening date) for this establishment? If so, please share via comments or email at: missheather (at) thatgreenpointblog (dot) com.

Thanks!

UPDATE, December 17, 2010; Here’s what my buddy over at Brooklyn11211 has to say.

I guess it isn’t something they need DOB permits for:

Reader Comment Du Jour: Has Larry Been Catnapped— Again?

December 15, 2010 ·
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic 

I have heard rumors that Larry, our beloved bodega cat, has gone M.I.A. Sadly, it would appear this is in fact the case. His former “person”, Neer, writes:

Hi Heather, how is everything out there? sorry, write you this late but today just now, i come to know our larry is missing since Friday and is not returning after went out side at midnight and i don’t know what to do. So I’m writing to you. I hope he is loved now and is happy. If you find out anything about larry please let me know too. missing you all and greenpoint.

If you have seen Larry or know of his whereabouts please contact his “people” at New A.J. Farms Market STAT. They— and I— are very worried about him.
