From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part II: DANGER
A fellow named Jay (who took the above photography today, July 26, 2013) writes:
I would never entertain the idea of cooling off in the East River no matter how high the temp reached. These four teenagers disagree…
I’ve been away from Brooklyn for about a year. I don’t think the River is much cleaner than when I left. So, what the fuck?
And, yes, these kids could read that sign in English.Hope all is well with you…

A very nice lady named Artineh Havan, who is the brains behind the Grand Street Business Improvement Distinct writes:
Dear Miss Heather,
…I saw you last and hope that you are doing well.
We are getting ready for the second annual Grand Street “Weekend Walk” block parties on July 13th and 20th from 2 – 8 pm, this time from Manhattan to Bushwick Avenues to provide a car free public space for the community.
Please feel free to post it on NY Shitty as you see fit, and we hope to see you on Grand Street on either or both of those days.

It would appear a favorite steakhouse of the Mister’s, DeStefano’s, has hit the market for just shy of $3,000,000 million dollars.
91 Conselyea St LIVE THE BROOKLYN DREAM! Flawlessly situated on the corner of Conselyea and Leonard Street, is this beautiful, massive mixed-use brick property offering an exquisitely crafted NYC Steakhouse Restaurant with a private residence above and its own 2 car garage with addition FAR; all 100% owner occupied! This classy, well-known restaurant generates consistent cash flow and has the ability to seat many (that’s debatable — Ed. Note)…

Urban Fur: The Best Bodega Cat In Brooklyn, R.I.P.
Filed under: 11211, Stuff The Makes Heather Sad, Urban Fur, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Last night the Mister and yours truly were walking down Lorimer Street. As we approached Meeker Avenue, I excitedly told him we were about to pass the bodega that the fittingly-named furkid, Tank, called his place of work and play. You can undoubtedly understand my sadness, gentle readers, when I happened upon the above memorial. Rest in peace, big boy, you are and will continue to be missed.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Artisanal Cream Cheese!
No kids, this is not a joke. Exactly how far “off the beaten path” is North 7 Street and Bedford Avenue? It’s beaten to death. This is why it is a hellhole.
Credits/Props go out to my landlord for this gem. Thanks!
