Greenpoint Gentrification Watch: BoWiAn Market

Having seen more than my fair share of peoplein this neighborhood being hauled away in ambulances after having heart attacks (Chris of T & N Wine and Liquor said it best when he advised me— after his latest heart attack— to insist they take you to St. Vincents*) a salad bar may not be a bad addition to the neighborhood.

*Otherwise you’ll end up in Woodhull as a good friend of mine did recently when she had food poisoning. After a five hour wait and getting water from the bathroom (because the water fountains did not work) she felt better and walked home. A novel— if disturbing— cure if I ever heard one.

Tonight Champion Coffee will be having an art opening from 7:00 – 10:00 p.m. I have no word as to what the nature of the work will be but given how much I enjoyed their last show this will definitely be on my “to do” list! If you happen to be in the area why not give it a look-see?

TOMORROW: A Few Things For Cat Lovers

Tomorrow Empty Cages Collective will be having an adoption event at NYC Pet Supplies in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Their finest cats and kittens of all sizes rescued from the streets of New York City are promised to be in attendance, so why not swing by and say hi? As I have written before, all of ECC’s cats and kittens have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and tested for feline leukemia and FIV. There is a $75.00 adoption fee and all adoptions require an approved application. You can get a sneak peek of what awaits you tomorrow by pointing and clicking your way over to Empty Cages Petfinder page.

January 24th, 1:00 – 6:00 p.m.

Back here in Greenpoint the ASPCA’s mobile clinic will be offering cheap/free spay and neutering at Petland Discounts starting at 7:00 a.m. As the flier clearly states this is purely a first come, first served affair. My advice: get there EARLY.

Last up, I have been woefully remiss about passing along these wonderful works of art available at District Dog. My favorite is the “Vomitron Series”. However, there are also plenty of offerings for all you dog lovers out there. Best of all is the price; they’re a mere $25.00 a pop! Check ’em out.
