From The New York Shitty Inbox: Phil Collins Day 2012?
A number of folks have asked me if there is a Second Annual Phil Collins Day celebration in the works. I have been woefully remiss in following this up. Thankfully I today received an email from a(nother) lass named Heather— and the answer is an emphatic “YES!”. She writes:

New York Shitty Day Ender: Gratuitous Food Porn
Tonight the Mister, I and a good friend finally got around to trying out the Garden Spot’s newest dining establishment: Paulie Gee’s. The first thing that struck me was how vegetarian friendly the menu (which you can see by clicking here) was. Truth be told, it was difficult to make a choice— but choose I did: I opted for the Marianna and an arugula salad.
Make that two arugula salads. As it would happen the waitress had noted we had debated as to whether purchase one or two. They had an extra one so they gave it to us. Both were dispatched pretty quickly. Then came a surprise from Mr. Gee himself:
The first working model of the “Miss Heather Special” a little culinary joint venture we have been working on. We dug in.
And dug in. It should be noted that the Mister ate his entire pie: the Kuban.*
And DUG IN.
All in all we had a great time and my Marianna pie was garlicky and delicious. A glass of wine would have been a nice accompaniment, but Paulie assured me they were anticipating their liquor license in a week or so.

As for what will constitute a “Miss Heather Special”? That’s for me to know and you to find out! I am more than certain Paulie will come up with something fantastic! In the meantime, check it out! You will not be disappointed.

New York Shitty Day Starter: Paulie Gee’s Update
A number of you have asked me when Paulie Gee’s, the pizzeria slated to take over Paloma’s old space, is going to open. Here’s an update from the man himself, Paulie Gee! He writes:
I can’t give you an opening date yet, but I can give you a glimpse into what you’ll find at our place once the doors open. On Saturday I pulled the first pie out of my hand crafted in from Naples, Stefano Ferrara oven. It was a very gratifying moment for me.
I can’t hardly wait for everyone to see the rest of my fire-breathing beauty, along with the rest of the our quickly transforming space. I very wisely left the design and construction up to Evan and Oliver Haslegrave of www.home-nyc.com and the creative force behind The Manhattan Inn. As with the Inn, the materials they are utilizing are reclaimed and much of it has been sourced from Build It Green in Astoria. Their work in the space so far is nothing short of astounding. I also have attached my recently unveiled logo, which I’m looking forward to the residents of North Brooklyn spotting on Greenpoint Avenue very soon.
That’s one mouth-watering pie, Paulie!
Oh yeah, and the logo is rather nice too.
