Meanwhile, In Brooklyn...: Garbage Milk

Greetings from Brooklyn...from Garbage Milk!


GARBAGE MILK!

Meanwhile, In Brooklyn...: Ooh ooh ooh John will you take me to see Santa at the bar?

Meanwhile, In Brooklyn...: Give a hoot

Sign outside The Owl Farm bar here in Park Slope, Brooklyn:


I charged them $14,000 to develop this marketing campaign for them:


Hope it's working.

Uncle Owen, I am NOT A NUMBER! I AM A oh wait.

Meanwhile, In Brooklyn... (in Our Front Window): "Hi!"

Meanwhile, In Brooklyn...: Is that any way to talk about Betty White?!?

Meanwhile, in Brooklyn...: What the Sam Scratch kind of non-50% after-Easter discount is this?!?

Meanwhile, In Brooklyn...: May we all be as happy to be tossed in the garbage

Bully and His Pals: Rat Boy!

While walking along Seventh Ave in Brooklyn today, I met a brand-new furry pal!


He was sitting outside a bodega and a couple were already watching him. The woman asked: "Is that a rat, or...?"

"That's a rat!" I said, then I added "It's your Lucky Christmas Rat!"

Another guy stopped to look and said "He's not shy, either!" And I wish I'd said "And he takes a pet so good!"


He's obviously well-fed. And that, non-New Yorkers, is why we have Bodega Cats!

Life Under Quarantine: Chalk Talk

Life Under Quarantine: Mmm mmm sold out

Out of luck: if you just want a bowl of soup

Incredibly lucky: if you are making a Minnesota casserole dish

Meanwhile, In Brooklyn...: Remember today that you are loved!

Yes, even you, sack of garbage hanging outside the bin.

Meanwhile, In Brooklyn...: Puzzled

Me: Don't do the whole jigsaw puzzle! Leave some for me!

Shelly the Little Otter Puppet: I haven't done it all! I only did Brooklyn!

Me: But it's a puzzle of the map of Brooklyn!

Meanwhile, in Brooklyn...: Another romantic evening on the New York Subway platform

(British friends: this relatively unfilthy stretch of subway platform is why I have said I would actually eat my dinner off the floor of the London Underground in comparison.)

Meanwhile, In Brooklyn...: 1 Bdrm, lotsa Csh

Four times the rent to move in? When did it chance from two months rent?


Also, if you've got a broker that I would have to pay a broker fee to, why are you putting up paper notices on lampposts in the neighborhood? Hey, I found you without using a broker.

Meanwhile, In Brooklyn...: Thwarted

They paved the sidewalk outside our apartment with new concrete and I drew a little picture of myself in it! But the guys who laid it down kept coming back and smoothing out everything wouldn't leave until it dried. Curse you, cement fascists!

Meanwhile, In Brooklyn...: Street where the riches of ages are stowed

Free stuff in my Brooklyn neighborhood (via Nextdoor)!:

Meanwhile, in Brooklyn...: Guess which little stuffed bull has been playing with the letters at Target

Meanwhile, In Brooklyn...: Hey, it's March

Meanwhile, in Brooklyn...: Hey! I can't get pastrami here!

What has opened in the old Zito's Sandwich location on Seventh Ave? Aw, I miss Zito's so much.


2022 update: King's Pharmacy went out of business during the pandemic and was replaced by a Jersey Mike's. Well, that's an improvement, for sandwich-obsessed me, at least.
