Urban Fur: The Best Bodega Cat In Brooklyn, R.I.P.
Filed under: 11211, Stuff The Makes Heather Sad, Urban Fur, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Last night the Mister and yours truly were walking down Lorimer Street. As we approached Meeker Avenue, I excitedly told him we were about to pass the bodega that the fittingly-named furkid, Tank, called his place of work and play. You can undoubtedly understand my sadness, gentle readers, when I happened upon the above memorial. Rest in peace, big boy, you are and will continue to be missed.
You can see more shots of this handsome fellow in his resplendent, super-sized glory by clicking here.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Artisanal Cream Cheese!
No kids, this is not a joke. Exactly how far “off the beaten path” is North 7 Street and Bedford Avenue? It’s beaten to death. This is why it is a hellhole.
Credits/Props go out to my landlord for this gem. Thanks!

Spotted On Graham Avenue: Ingenuity
If there is something this so-called “Brunch War” has taught me it is this: when there is revenue to be gained, local business owners can be downright inventive— be it by couching their argument as oppressing the brunching community (TIP: if you’re able to brunch— much less complain about the lack thereof— online— you are probably not oppressed) or creative license in regards to sidewalk cafe rules (Hear me, Nights and Weekends?*). Which brings me to the above photograph which was taken today.
Sage is permitted a sidewalk cafe with nine tables and eighteen tables. The work-around: installing eight picnic tables with two benches attached to each respectively. Thus we have eight tables and sixteen pieces of seating! Genius!!!
*Who have since, to their credit, removed these stools.

Greenpoint WiFi Network Du Jour: Special Waiting For The Bus Edition
I happened upon this curiosity while waiting— and waiting— for the B43 Bus at Nassau Avenue. After coming to the realization that the schedule posted is either a work of fiction or a VERY general guideline I decided to while away the time by checking my email. I found it rather apropos given the rather malodorous “perfume” which emanated with every passing Crosstown Local train beneath my feet. In any case folks: the neighborhood, it be a changin’.
Greenpoint, where affluence and effluence go hand-in-hand.*
*Props go out to my buddy Larry for this piquant observation.
