A good buddy of mine put it best:
If there’s one place to dock a party boat, it is Newtown Creek.
I wonder if the operators of this, um, facility paid taxes on the revenue from this “hotel”? In any case, you can read this tome by clicking here.

Now In Greenpoint: “Condo Finishes”
Where do I start with this one? Well for starters invoking the word “condo” makes it quite clear to whom this solicitation is directed. They aspire to condo living— but have a rental budget. Personally I do not find that to be anything interesting or “new”. Rather, I interpret this as suggesting that most new rental properties hereabouts are poorly constructed, over-priced shit. This is because they are.
Therefore:
- While undoubtedly quite expensive these apartments are of a higher quality of construction.
- Simply stating “2 and 3 bedroom apartments that are not built like shit”, while honest, does not make for snappy copy. (Although I rather like it.)
Well played, Corcoran!

(Or: Somebody gets it!)
Straight up: do I relish someone stating that she does not want her community to become another Greenpoint? Not, not really. Although the truth can and does hurt, this lady is correct on all counts. It was pretty obvious to me the evening prior these fellows do not care. No matter how they care to spin it, the fact of the matter is they plan to import a client base and that client base will largely not care about what impact their behavior will have on the community. I have seen just this thing here many, many times before.
In closing I want to applaud:
- Mr. Giordano for his tactful manner of outlining the various, um, “behaviors” which have been documented at this establishment.
- Community Board 5 Queens for unanimously voting this endeavor down.
Well Done!

Per the fellows responsible for this bit of chicanery (which can be found on Lorimer Street between Meserole Street and Montrose Avenue) they have actually caught folks trying to use it. Somehow I do not have a hard time believing this.
