New York Shitty Day Ender: Grand Opening
Looks like 931 Manhattan Avenue is on its third incarnation in less than one year: Lucky Diner. I suppose we’ll have to wait and see if this one sticks…

From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part II: For Whom The Bells Toll
(They toll for for us!)
A chap named Rich writes:
Hey Heather. I don’t know if you noticed but the bells started ringing Friday night by some miracle. Do you have any info as to how, why? etc? I doubt they raised the 10k in a few short weeks. I look forward to you posting something about it because hearing the bells brought me such joy.
Today I kept my ears open and sure enough: they were back! But don’t take my word for it. Hearing is believing!
Needless to say I will have to get to the bottom of this fortuitous turn of events! In the meantime if anyone reading this has the 411 on what happened do share via comments or email at missheather (at) thatgreenpointblog (dot) com.
Hallelujah!

New York Shitty Day Ender: Manhattan Avenue
When I saw these two stunning lasses this afternoon I simply had to take their photograph. Afterward, they told me about a fundraiser their group, Polish American Folk Dance Company, was conducting to pay for travel expenses so they can enter a competition in Poland. Naturally I swung by. That’s when I learned they will be performing their entry for our delectation at Greenpoint’s very own Warsaw June 19th. Methinks I will have to check this out!

P.S.: The PAFDC will be having another fundraiser this upcoming Saturday, May 21, at The Loft (which is located at 222 West Street). You can get the 411 for this event by clicking here!

Yes folks, it has happened again. True to form this culinary item was gone when I walked back by this afternoon. Hmm…

Spotted On Manhattan Avenue: Mixology
It is a little known fact that yours truly has tried— and to date, failed— to create a cocktail honoring the Seine of north Brooklyn. Yes, I am talking about none other than Newtown Creek. What has kept holding me back is how to make such a concoction chartreuse in hue. Sure, absinthe would do in a pinch but that struck me as being too “up-market”.
I am pleased to announce that thanks to the magical place that is Manhattan Avenue I have had a break-through! Wanna make a “Newtown Creek”, cocktailians? I will show you the way:
- Take one four quart container of Peak brand anti-freeze.
- Add one pint of Pride & Clark brand vodka.
- Shake (don’t stir stir)
- Garnish with one Coney Island whitefish*
And *presto*, you’re ready to go…
to Woodhull, that is.

*A used tampon or tampon applicator is also acceptable.
