Finger-painting Bounty ad namechecks the East Village



EVG reader RobbieTheK spotted this ad the other day on the 2 train.

Finger painting playdates in East Village Apartments are tough
Bounty is tougher

So, East Village apartments are small, making them difficult (tough!) to have people over to finger paint? Is that the point? Are we talking children, or like, young adults on a date?

If we are taking children, then it would be tough for me to have a playdate in my EV apartment, mostly because all my friends who decided to become parents moved to Brooklyn/Queens/elsewhere because they couldn't afford the rent here any longer.

Anyway, don't you think there are tougher things to do in and around an East Village apartment that would require paper towels, Bounty or otherwise?

Yeah, like living without being impacted by the sounds of non-stop construction, the screams of drunken revelers on nearby rooftops or in backyard garden bars, or finding people from the building next door to nine on my fire escape (happened more than once).

Don't take it so seriously. I wasn't.

Writing a daily East Village blog for humorless readers is tough.

I made it 10 months with my little boy in our studio on 7th street before making the move to Brooklyn. I would have loved to stay! but we needed more space/lower rent.
