P.S.: Speaking of Scrooge, I wonder if Exxon Mobil will end up sponsoring Manhattan Avenue’s Christmas lights again?

P.S.: On that note I am off for a walk to shake-off a little fall ennui of my own. More later!
Southside Photos du Jour: Meat Lover’s Special
Can someone please explain to me why someone (in this case, Diner) would see fit to employ this (a disembodied cow’s head) as decor? Is this for Halloween? What is the appeal? I honestly don’t get it.
This does not make me hungry (quite to the contrary: it makes me sort of queasy). Thoughts/feedback anyone?

Southside Photo du Jour: Hey Ladies…
(Or gentlemen)
For those of you who are without a date this All Hallow’s Eve I would like to bring to your attention this handsome (and very naked) gent from South 4 Street. Exactly why a scrap metal business possesses such an item— much less has it for sale— I do not know (and I did not ask). However, be advised that this chap’s company will set you back a cool $75.00. This may sound like a king’s ransom to many of you but just think of the money you’ll save on dates!

This is without argument my favorite day of the year. For this reason I put together slide show of spooky stuff from the greater Williamspoint area to get everyone in the Halloween spirit. Enjoy!
Have happy (and safe) Halloween everybody!

More Day of the Dead Fun
Filed under: 11211, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Those of you who are in search of more Day of the Dead fun in north Brooklyn are in luck: I have two more events to pass along to you. Here they are!
First up, Huitzilli will be serving up chocolate and churros (imagine a cinnamon flavored cheeto and you have the general idea) Sunday, November 1st, from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m.. While you’re there be sure to check out some of their great Day of the Dead wares. Here are a few highlights.
Sugar skulls galore.
Fun jewelry.
And of course I would feel remiss if I didn’t mention this Porkysesque bit of mirth. CAVEAT: Previous link may not be safe for work.
Check it out!

This item comes courtesy of my buddy Bitchcakes. Here’s the 411 per their email announcement:
Try and come by for our annual Dia de los Muertos holiday at our coffee bar where we honor our passed family and friends with food, drinks (e,g, new Azteca mex chocolate/espresso shots), decor, and more. Pass flyer on to your friends!
Although the official celebration is Monday afternoon after 6pm, the coffee bar will have the traditional ofrenda (altar) loaded with pictures and mementos of lost loved ones this weekend til next weekend. I’ll be working Saturday early afternoon til 3pm and Sunday morning til 1:30. Try our tamale plates (w/ elote/Mexican corn) and mexican mocha IF you haven’t been by yet.
I have tried the Mexican mocha. It is nothing short of amazing. Coupled with their tamales you have a winning combination!
