I passed a useful sidewalk sale, down on Court Street not far from the highway. I don’t need a baseball mitt, but I’m sure there’s an audience for these. The gloves are in good condition, but I don’t know about the prices. What would a good price be?

Santa’s out working the crowds for a few more hours @ the site of the Gowanus Yacht Club. It was a good run, but now it’s time to deflate, drink some egg nog, water the reindeer, and take off the mittens.

This is some sort of baby raingear, I think. Those plastic things that go over a stroller work well, but some parents would rather have their tot zipped onto their chest. It’s more intimate, for sure, like extending pregnancy for another year or so.

On the wall of the subway bridge, before the trains head underground at Carroll Street, there are some murals painted by children. They have held up well; they’ve been there for a few years now and haven’t been ruined by the elements or graffiti.

Before you write off those bars that serve cocktails with five ingredients, homemade bitters, and a funny names, give The Jake Walk a try. They make some amazing concoctions. If you’re intimidated, there are also the usual drinks. To further entice you, the bar has a weeknight happy hour.

One very special tuxedo with golden vest and tie. The wearer will likely get a lot of attention, so be prepared, if you’re thinking of how good it might look on you.

Membership is open to anyone, the nearest boat is half a mile away, and the Gowanus is a local toxic canal that was recently superfunded. Get it? Good, because beer is the safest drink around here and the next round is on you.

I’m trying to get home and my house is somewhere south of this street fair on Smith Street… how do these things work?

On Smith Street, half the restaurants were closed today – the Monday thing. Tough luck for people who are ready to spend money and get some food. Fortunately Oaxaca Tacos was open.

Back in the day we had to cook our own food or go to the store. It was tough, man! Now all you have to do is point at what you want to eat, then pay. This halal food truck is parked near the President Street stations of the F and G Trains. The food looks okay, as long as you like tomatoes and onions, which appear in almost every picture.
