I was tending bar at McGovern’s on Spring Street (RIP) that night. Also think I had just moved to Williamsburg three days prior.

sorry the coordinated NBA playoffs t-shirt thing is just deeply embarrasing; regional sales manager conference vibe

The World Cup is about celebrating exotic host nation cultures

Pretty clear they’re trying to buy the 1893 World’s Fair off temu

At a sports bar in Bushwick watching the WCF and it’s funny how literally every single person here is rooting for the spurs Hard to think of a superstar likability gap as large as the one between Wemby (woke, 1 of a kind player who takes the subway) and SGA (cybertruck-driving free throw merchant)

Another chimera from Dawson City, Yukon, for #SundayStonework. The Bank of Commerce, in which the ‘stonework’ is in fact pressed tin on a wooden structure. This is the bank in which poet Robert Service worked. Yes, it needs some TLC….

The Post up with a pro-street dining piece? 😳 Of course it’s Mamdani’s fault that the rules that Eric Adams and Adrienne Adams put in place are doing exactly what they intended - stopping New Yorkers from enjoying dining al fresco.

Pictures do not do it justice. This is such a powerful installation.

Not to victim blame but this balloon does feel like it's asking for trouble

LOL - read this as “It’s clear that there’s no expectation of this week ending anytime soon.”

Is it that rare for chickens to visit New York?

This is just the best love letter to NYC. Glad you had fun @solomonmissouri.bsky.social - come back soon!

Women in STEM (Suffering Through Every Met game)

LOL. I didn’t see the date and just assumed this was now.

I feel like the players would trip over that

The Butthole Surfers are culture

Call me a Luddite, but I’d like better than 50/50 odds of living.

The former headquarters of Magic Chef in St. Louis, now operating as a U-Haul, featuring a recently restored ceiling installation by Isamu Noguchi which had been, for years, concealed by a drop ceiling.

Brownstones weren’t hated when they were built - it was spec housing, if people hated them they wouldn’t have been built! Brownstones WERE hated in the mid-20th century - the brownstone era was referred to as the brown decades by Mumford (1931). 1/2

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

A small price for US airlines to pay to be rid of this pesky consumer protections. Bet that Delta guy is glad to be rid of the Biden administration’s “overreach”.

This Day in Labor History: April 6, 1712. A group of slaves gathered in Manhattan, setting fire to a building on Maiden Lane, near Broadway. When whites gathered to put out the fire, the slaves attacked with hatchets, guns, and swords. Let's talk about this early slave revolt!

No Tang? We used to make things in this country. Now it’s quiche and “Canadian products”. SMDH

Brooklyn golden hour still undefeated

Open Met Pool! @ny4p.bsky.social was proud to help organize a rally to support neighbors who are advocating for the reopening of Met Pool, which closed abruptly over a year ago, and is an invaluable resource that makes NYC more affordable and livable for thousands. Open Met Pool and Fund Rec

The whole airport is shut down until 8am according to the pilot of our flight heading to LGA.

This should do wonders for airline stocks.

What if Spartacus had a Piper Cub?

“while we reimagine how to make it more useful for customers and more respectful of the experts whose work it surfaces WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY THEM” Fixed it for you, Grammarly.

QGIS, like RStudio and Blender share being insanely useful, capable and having the most bizarre, steep learning curves I have ever attempted to even do basic things in 😭😹 anyway, kudos for making even the release name unpronounceable, you wonderful freaks 🙏🏽

NYC moment (and small spoiler) - Fri nite we watched Marty Supreme. Saturday, walking on 6th Ave in Chelsea, some rando walks up and say “Did you see Marty Supreme?” Me: yes! Just last night! R: I was in it! M: wait, did you get shot in the face? R: Yes! The rando - www.google.com/search?clien...

And keeping it very local - Luke and Jenna are the best. Support them!

As the Brooklyn Democratic Party finds new ways to embarrass us, remember and support NKD candidates. NKD has been pissing off BDP for almost 20 years now! The arc bends slowly…

Great thread. Bonus points for getting in the origins of the name Bushwick (see last entry).

It’s both funny and cosmically correct that the U.S. men’s hockey chodes will have to sit through 2+ hours of rambling from their addled little king while the U.S. Women’s team gets to skip the speech and party with Flavor Flav in Vegas

This is fun. Thanks to my freshman HS English teacher who had us memorize Chaucer, I’m good back to the 1300s or so. And thanks to my sophomore HS English teacher, who had us memorize Carroll, I can only get two lines into Chaucer before switching to the Jabberwocky.

Or in his case, 40 years.

i guess the one thing about the state of the union is that mike johnson can't say he didn't hear it

Most expensive Super Bowl ad ever!

Eagle-eyed watchers of Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show would have spied Toñita, the queen of Los Sures, AKA Williamsburg. Read all about Maria Antonia “Toñita” Cay here: hellgatenyc.com/williamsburg...

Counterpoint - the halftime show featured Toñita, so we are very, very good here on Grand Street.
