LAST GASP: The G Spot
While I have been stuck at home the last few days with a cold I forgot— or make that almost forgot— to share the good news about The G Spot: a shop which calls our very own Chris Smith, AKA: subtexture— the guy who designed this fabulous Greenpoint tee shirt, its proprietor! Why not swing by this upcoming Tuesday, say “Hi” and check out his wares?

From The New York Shitty Inbox: More About The Garden Spot Cafe
I recently noted that 159 Franklin Street, formerly known as the Greenpoint Coffee House, appeared to be nearing completion. Well, according to an email I received it would appear I was right! A tipster we’ll call “Cat” writes:
…you had asked about updates for the Garden Spot Cafe, which will open in the location of the former Greenpoint Coffee House. Jeff, the owner of both the building and the new cafe (who is also the manager for the building where I live) told me yesterday that he expects to open soon, possibly within a month. From what he told me, it sounds like the cafe will serve standard American fare and will have a full liquor license. In my own self interest I asked of there would be some vegetarian selections and he said yes. I’m not sure how much publicity he is looking for at this point or if he has a whole PR campaign planned, but Jeff is a nice guy and a lifelong resident of Greenpoint so I hope he gets the word out soon and does well in his latest Greenpoint endeavor.
So there have you.

Spotted On Franklin Street: Progress
The paper is slowly being removed from the much-promised Garden Spot Cafe…
yet there appears to be plenty of work left to be done! Does anyone have the 411 on when this establishment will (at long last) open? If so, I’d like to hear from you— via comments or email at: missheather (at) thatgreenpointblog (dot) com.
Thanks!

I have said it before and I will say it again: the most beautiful thing about Greenpoint is not its topography: it is its people. I speak from experience when I write that Garden Spotters are among the best humans to be found anywhere. Period. This chap is one of them. His name is Philip and I for one am very grateful he’s still gracing our ‘nabe with his inimitable style and compassion!
