Although I have already posted this item I feel behooved to remind everyone this upcoming Tuesday, April 27, 2011 starting at 6:30 p.m. there will be a meeting regarding the proposed upgrades on Nassau Avenue and the surrounding environs. Yes, this includes Monitor Street. A presentation by the Department of Design and Construction is promised. Check it out!

From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part II: Confirmed!
A lady named Monika writes (in regards to this post):
Hi Miss Heather!
I pass that bodega every morning and it is finally open for business and yes, I asked if it was under the same ownership as Rachel’s, and the counter staff confirmed this was the case. I saw the owner of Rachel’s in the store earlier, when it was being stocked. Similar look, with the lovely baskets hanging from the ceiling, wooden shelving, and much produce and organic items, as well as European favorites including Milka, various Polish brands, and packaged sliced cheese from Germany. A small deli counter is still being set up; they hope to have this up and running in a week. No bodega cat yet, as far as I can tell!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: A Bodega Takeover?
This item comes courtesy of a lady named Erin. She writes:
Hi,
Just wanted to send in a tip that a Rachel’s Garden truck is parked out in front of the Manhattan Deli & Grocery store that has been closed for renovation for a few months. The inside looks like it has more gourmet and Polish grocery items than the previous incarnation. Wonder if Rachel’s is taking over the store?
Methinks this might merit a recon mission! In the interim if anyone has the 411 on what is going on please share via comments or email at missheather (at) thatgreenpointblog (dot) com. Thanks!

MARK YOUR CALENDARS: Update On Nassau Avenue Construction Project
Given the rather acrimonious proceedings regarding this project in the past (lack of communication and the prospect of having one’s stoop lopped off tends to facilitate this kind of thing) I feel compelled to pass along that our inimitable Transportation Chair, Karen Nieves, has arranged a Town Hall Meeting with the Department of Design of Construction April 26, 2001 at St. Cecilia’s Church. At this meeting a presentation will be given apprising residents of any progress/changes made to said project (which as some of you recall now includes the city buying back the demapped strip of Monitor Street between Greenpoint Avenue and Nassau Avenue). Yours truly has little doubt this forum will prove to be no less provocative than its predecessor. Mark your calendars, folks!
