Oh yeah. Waiting for the light on the northwest corner of Second Avenue and St. Mark's Place... a BBQ splop.
Then! Street cleaner! Jump back!
The street cleaner turned the splop into a nice smooth and very slippery line... within a few minutes, we witnessed three different people nearly slip. Not flip-flop friendly terrain here.
Nothing says summer like the squish of barbecue sauce between my toes!
ReplyDeleteTime to grease up and swim the channel or dive in the east river coated with glop
ReplyDeleteHuge amounts of barbecue (like a large carton's worth, not a "takeout portion") get dumped there periodically. And though it's only circumstantial evidence, I note that there's a BBQ restaurant right across the street. Draw what conclusions you may.
ReplyDeletethose street cleaners make more messes than not, just pushing smelly hot crap around--not picking or sucking it up.
ReplyDeleteIt is an observed fact that in the month following Hurricane Sandy, when alternate side was suspended and the street cleaning machines did not come thru for a full 30 days, the streets looked exactly the same as they do at all other times. Those machines are some kind of a union thing, far as I can tell.
ReplyDeleteAnyone wearing flip flops in NYC deserves to slip and fall into a puddle of standing water, discarded food, and excrement.
ReplyDelete"Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was"
ReplyDeleteLooks like Dallas BBQ, which is awful.
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely a BBQ'ed dead baby dumped there by the restaurant across the street. I would get a shovel and give it back to them!
ReplyDelete@ Karim- seconded.
