CLOSING FOR RENOVATIONS: Manhattan Triple Decker
The Mister and I discovered this today when we went for a little lunch at Manhattan Avenue’s very own Triple Decker Restaurant: they will be closed starting tomorrow, August 2, for renovations but promise to be back with “a new look & outlook”. Exactly what this means, I do not know. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
Manhattan Triple Decker
Closed For Renovations August 2, 2010 – August 23, 2010 (estimated)
695 Manhattan Avenue
Brooklyn, New York 11222
In the meantime those who are looking for a good diner will be pretty hard pressed to find one. Though Acapulco Deli & Restaurant is pretty good (TIP: try their salsa) but they usually close for two weeks in August. I have also heard good things about the burgers at New Tulcingo. If anyone reading this has some recommendations for decent diner fare located in and around the Garden Spot please share them via comments or email at: missheather (at) thatgreenpointblog (dot) com. Thanks!

Urban Fur: Meet Cody
I encountered this winsome chap today while I was out and about. His person, a very nice lady whose name I did not get, assured me tongue dangling is Cody’s M.O. She then quipped to her male companion that perhaps he’d get more women if he walked down the street with his tongue hanging out. Who knows— it might be worth a try!

P.S.: This post goes out to Ma and Pa Heather. Today they had to put their beloved Tortie, Matisse, to sleep. She was a pip, that cat. She will be missed.
Greenpoint Pay Phone Du Jour: Munchies
More often than not the Garden Spot’s public pay phones are a haven for empty with fifths of vodka, brandy and/or packs of cigarettes. So you can imagine my surprise when I spied this array of sensible snacks (replete with Hi-C!) at Greenpoint Avenue this afternoon. Could this be yet another sign of Greenpoint gentrification? I’ll let you, dear readers, make the call.
