BROOKLYN BLOGADE ROADSHOW A BIG HIT IN GREENPOINT

Here’s a quick note about the Brooklyn Blogade Roadshow that met in Greenpoint on Sunday July 22nd at the Casa Mon Amour on Franklin Street. There’s much more to tell and I took copious notes so there will be more later today.

Here are the quick deets:

A big crowd, 50 or so, gathered at the restaurant. The restaurant was packed.

The food at Casa Mon Amour was great. The owner, Beatrice, deserves all the raves she gets from customers.

The slide show by Forgotten New York was fantabulous (post to come).

The shout outs were wonderful (list to come).

Miss Heather of New York Shitty is a great hostess!!! She should have her own television talk show or something. She’s very funny, a great speaker, with a very distinctive (and attractive) look.

I fear she’s still mad at me for not publishing a piece she wrote two years ago. I forget now why I didn’t but I think we need to have a talk about that. I didn’t know her at all at the time and I’m sorry if that created a bad feeling.

Miss Heather’s event was filled with unfamiliar and interesting new bloggers (as well as a few familiar ones of course). Brooklyn really is BIG and that’s why this roadshow thing is so necessary!!!!

Hepcat and I loved the neighborhood!!!! We took a long walk along Franklin Street from Kent to Bedford and North Sixth. The walk along Franklin Street, which is quite near the river was breathtaking. It’s mostly industrial. As we traveled south towards Williamsburg we could see all the construction and the way that neighborhood is changing so dramatically.

Needless to say No Words_Daily Pix took lots of pix. Including today’s Daily pix. See above.

The area near Casa Mon Amour is very historical and residential. It’s a GEM and hopefully will not be tampered with.

We stopped at a dress shop and Word Press, which is a lovely bookstore on Franklin. I haven’t been to Greenpoint since I lived in Williamsburg from 1984 until 1987. Things have really changed. I want to explore more.

THANKS MISS HEATHER FOR A TRULY GREAT EVENT. A very valuable outreach to blogggers in Greenpoint, Bushwick, Williamsburg, and Bed Stuy.

  2. Thank you for the great compliment, I am glad you enjoyed the food, and got to see a side of Greenpoint that is truly lovely. It was fun having you all come on such a beautiful Sunday.

  3. You’re welcome.
    I am not upset at you, btw. In fact, the only thing upset right now is my stomach.
    Let’s just say I am recuperating after eating too much spicy food yesterday! ;)
    Glad you liked Word Books. It is a very nice bookstore and a much needed addition to the neighborhood.
    Later
