new triangulation

O’Connor’s (closed) - One of the older bars in South Brooklyn. A handed down relic from the Dyke Slope era. If you drank there you would have met everyone who wasn’t an… old neighborhood resident.

Hank’s - Dark, dusty. Christmas lights give it charm. Alcohol makes it lively. If you drink here you might get a chronic cough, meningitis, or a teacher’s phone number.

Freddy’s - Currently relocated from the footprint of the Baryclays Center. A good spot to watch video art, drink a shot and a beer, and paw at the chain around the bar (political reasons).

Sharlene’s - The only bar this side of Flatbush that doesn’t make you want to punch yourself in the face. Drink a lot, drink often. They have trivia some nights. The answer to every question is “I don’t know, it was getting nicer and nicer and I didn’t expect it to get this lame.”

Canal Bar - Long, narrow and full of pop corn. You’ve made it this far down 3rd Ave. Have a drink before you head back.

The Brooklyn Inn - A good place to eavesdrop… Wait, no. Fuck that. Just look at yourself in the full length mirrors behind the bar and wonder out loud why the group behind you feels the need to keep jabbing your back with their elbows.

Union Hall - Imagine a small child walking into the bocce ball court, pick up your ball, and then walk towards the bar. He’s not coming back with a round.

Pacific Standard - Need a book, take a book. Don’t go back.

Fourth Avenue Pub - Need a beer, take a beer. Go back until dead.

Brooklyn Tavern - Ask what the neighborhood was like before all the new people moved in. Look around when the person you ask raises their hands, with their palms out, in an exemplary manner. Be sure to drink a light beer.

High Dive - Be sure to order deliver to the bar. Don’t make too much noise while smoking outside. Tip the shit out of the bartenders.

Littleneck - Get shitfaced on the cheap domestic. Fill your stomach with bounty of the sea. Bring lots of cash.

Finally posting this.

Enjoy.

I’ll sign off on most of this. Fuck O’Connors being closed though.

People who think “Brooklyn, NY” means anything at all

“lots of cash”

I started getting facials from Zubeidat Tsarnaeva (pronounced Zu-bey-da) six years ago when I was 17 at a spa in Belmont, MA. She was soon after fired and contacted my mom to have us start coming to her house, at 410 Norfolk St., right on the line of Cambridge and…

unconsumption:

In Baltimore, the fire-damaged, 30,000-square-foot historic American Brewery building sat empty for 30 years until a $24+ million renovation turned it into offices for Humanim, a non-profit social service agency.

At the core of the building rises a multistory, 10,000-bushel grain silo constructed of stacked 2-by-6-foot yellow pine boards. This unique structure was maintained, given flooring, and opened up to make impromptu seating areas. Snaking through the building are what appear to be vestigial air ducts; periodic Plexiglas panels placed on them allow glimpses of an automated system of belts and scoops once used to convey grain to the upper floors. And on the first floor, a massive steel tank likely used to heat a mix of malted barley and water called “wort” has been carved up to serve as a curvilinear work area [pictured above]. Where large beer tanks were removed in the renovation, their diameters and positions are memorialized with gray circles of carpeting.

The building, built in 1887, is on the National Register of Historic Places; following its reopening in 2009, additional redevelopment has taken place in the surrounding neighborhood.

Restoration architects: Cho Benn Holback + Associates. Photos, by Paul Burk, and building information via Urbanite Baltimore.

A Commercial, Sandwiched Between Lines of Dialogue on 'Hawaii Five-0' - NYTimes.com:

For nearly a minute, the unfortunate actors (Alex O’Loughlin, Grace Park and the former sumo wrestler Taylor Wily) stepped completely out of the story in order to plug Subway sandwiches, as the food-truck vendor Kamekona (Mr. Wily) is found eating five subs as part of his new diet. “Trying to eat smarter, brother,” he says. “These Subways sandwiches? So ono” (Hawaiian slang for “delicious,” though it’s also the name of a fish popular in island restaurants and presumably more healthy than a Subway sandwich). The spot — it’s a 50-second commercial, pure and simple — also works in references to the Subway pitchman Jared and several specific menu items.
