Williamsburg Street Seating du Jour: Tourism Special
Filed under: 11211, Feral Furniture, Street Furniture, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
This is the vision which met the Mister and I last weekend as we were strolling down Bedford Avenue. The above-depicted (and really nice) ladies and gentlemen were very interested in our interest in their little photo session. One even offered to let us sit there next. We declined and then tried— and failed— to explain the good news about the widespread bedbug problem in north Brooklyn.
I sincerely hope these folks do not come away from their vacation in our fair city with a little “added value”.

Live From Rosemary’s Greenpoint Tavern: New York’s Bravest!
This morning yours truly got up bright and early. There was work to be done. Among other things I had to drop off a photo for developing, get a shipping container for another photo and drop off yet another photo to a friend who resides on Bedford Avenue. The latter-most task ended up being the highlight of my day. So far, anyway.
This is the vision which awaited me as I arrived at her apartment at 11:15 this morning: a gaggle of New York’s Bravest Cutest engaging in a little St. Paddy’s day merrymaking at Rosemary’s Greenpoint Tavern! Naturally I headed over without delay.
Me (to two of New York’s Bravest): Can I take your picture?
Bravest #1: You aren’t from the Post, are you?
Me: (excised*) NO!
(Bravest #1 and #2 line up to pose for yours truly)
Me: Okay, on the count of three. 1, 2, the Post Sucks!
Bravest #1 & #2: THE POST SUCKS!
This post goes out to the hardworking men and women of fair our city’s Fire Department. Happy St. Paddy’s Day!

You can always leave it to our friends in the 11211 to have an, um, unique take on current events.

Stuff like this (which I spotted on Bedford Avenue this afternoon) absolutely breaks my heart. If any of you, dear readers, are in search of a loving companion of the feline persuasion— or know someone who is— please consider this lovely lady. “Mommy” deserves better than this. Thanks!
UPDATE, March 18, 2011: Mommy has a new home upstate! Read the comments for the scoop!
