Greenpoint Photos Du Jour: Walk This Way
This vision hails from 958 Manhattan Avenue. Inasmuch as I can recall it has been in this state for just over a week— perhaps even two. But why dwell on such trivialities? I prefer to see this as an opportunity.This lot could easily pressed into service as a location for a flea market, barbecue, wilderness survival workshops— hell, an enterprising person could simply park a handful of campers, tap into those electrical lines and operate a hostel— or all the previous! And of course there are more pedestrian uses such as a community garden to consider. In any case here it is for posterity. Anyone care to place bets on how long it will remain like this?

There appears to have been a mishap on Manhattan Avenue.
Glass of (queso) half empty: salsa con queso gone to waste brings a tear to yours truly’s eye.
Glass half full: Old Krupnik is a highly provocative accompaniment to this street feast. The presence of a towel suggests some attempt at a “clean up”. One has to appreciate this kind gestures given they are quite rare nowadays.
Meanwhile on Lorimer Street…
Street meat tartar…
accompanied by pasta.
Bon appetit!

Garden Spot snow storm survival tip: a grocery bag can be easily and effiectively repurposed as headgear. (I am not knocking it— I have done this myself!)
