New York Shitty Day Starter: A Walk On The Southside
Tuesday afternoon (before the sun decided to take another extended vacation) I finally got around to taking an extended walk on the Southside. There is much to be enjoyed in the way of architecture, gardens and street life or even art for that matter on South First through South 4th Streets. This area has something the Northside simply does not possess: a soul. Follows are some shots from my latest excursion to this fascinating neighborhood. Enjoy!
In closing those of you who happen to be in the area should swing by the public garden on South 2nd Street between Kent and Wythe Avenue. The people behind this sorely-needed bit of greenery did a smash-up job of this space last year and if what we saw in the previous slideshow is any indication I think they are going to top themselves this year. I am especially fond of the bird houses. Good stuff!

P.S.: Anyone care to enlighten me as to what this “job contingency” incentive is that the Edge is offering? Man oh man they must be getting desperate.

What exactly are “cancellation shoes” you ask? I honestly have no idea. But for those of you who simply must find out I’d recommend going to 161 Havemeyer Street. Be sure to ask for Jack.

LAST GASP: Found On North 7th Street…
a feline with a taste for the finer things in life.
The details on this flier are pretty scant but among the young Mr. Claus’s more distinguishing characteristics are a taste for:
- The Mormon Tabernacle Choir
- Fine Scotch and
- 16th Century French literature
If you are missing a cat fitting this description (or simply want to make the urbane Field Marshal’s acquaintance*) please contact his temporary caretaker/concierge at the above email address.
Thanks!

Williamsburg Video Du Jour: It’s The Economy, Stupid!
Summer has arrived in north Brooklyn and with it Bedford Avenue’s favorite mad man has resumed plying his trade. Namely ranting and raving about the various and sundry things which aggrieve him in the middle of the street. Much to the edification, amusement and confusion of passersby. Today’s topic (as I could best ascertain) was the economy. Enjoy!
If President Obama is reading this mark my following five words: give this man a job!

Express Yourself
Filed under: Williamsburg
One of the things I love about north Brooklyn is the manifold number of ways the citizens here visually express themselves. Sure, we may not have much in the way of public art— but that doesn’t mean there are not some real gems to be found here if one looks in the right places. If you do you’ll quickly learn that one need not have an art degree to create something truly memorable. It just requires a little imagination and preferably a large bay window. Case in point: this (what I presume to be) MemorialĂ‚Â Day tableau on Withers Street.
Let’s go in for a closer look!
A model of the Williamsburg Bridge replete with Christmas lights and a nine car pile-up!
This has got to be one of the most remarkable window displays I have ever seen. I will definitely make it a point to swing back by at night so I can see it lit up! If you have the opportunity swing by 153 Withers Street and check it out. Seeing is truly believing!

P.S.: Some of the more eagle-eyed among you might have noticed the vintage Fedders box!
