Do the piggies have ladies, beards, grin and most important hubris? i'll chalk this one up over to the boys of biscuits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-84772962368494957872014-02-02T01:43:13.060-05:002014-02-02T01:43:13.060-05:00lets face it, the neighborhood is not what it was....lets face it, the neighborhood is not what it was. when i visit all the old places are gone. i didn't want to move, but i knew it was either that or be driven crazy by the changes (not good) i saw. you have more control over your life than you may think. make the change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-82358958155229503372014-02-02T00:29:29.219-05:002014-02-02T00:29:29.219-05:00Though I don't understand the biscuit storefro...Though I don't understand the biscuit storefront, I did try the little piggies today and I have to say that I've never had better. They were delicious and their homemade condiments divine. Would you rather have another Duane Reade, or bank, or 7-11? This is a much better alternative. I spend so much money to live in an apt. that isn't even kept up that nicely, at least I know when I spend my money for piggies in the blanket, I'm going to eat something that's delicious.

When moms started going to work in the 70' & 80's kids got to enjoy dinners which took a 5 minute spin inside the microwave or were reconstituted from a blue and gold box. Next time you go by S'Mac notice the age of its customers which I suspect will mostly identify with hot dogs in dough as cuisine.

I don't think it due to a snowball effect of adding a couple of people with each stop as the night progresses but a coordinated effort to roam in a large group made possible via anti-social media.

Not everyone has that luxury nor should they have to be forced out of the community they love. I also lived in here in 20s and 30s, and I went out, too, but I came home and slept every night because the neighborhood was more in balance, and there weren't 10,000 bars at the time, and we also didn't have fratty types around back then, traveling in packs and screaming all night like they're still on campus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-79548616780472161942014-01-31T22:45:19.030-05:002014-01-31T22:45:19.030-05:00Ah yes, part of the Smorgasburg empire:

From the start, they wanted to ensure that the Flea was, by their own standards, tasteful. “Stuff you’d put in your house,” Demby says. Butler adds, “No street fair crap like tube socks.” They accepted and rejected vendors based on gut instinct. “It’s kind of like pornography,” Butler says. “You know it when you see it.”"<br />From an interesting article on the Butler/Denby team in Brooklynr:<br />http://bklynr.com/lords-of-the-flea/<br />onemorefoldedsunsethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05995652957356064546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-1426416929889850382014-01-31T21:39:59.589-05:002014-01-31T21:39:59.589-05:00dont be ridiculous. this is a battle that clearly ...dont be ridiculous. this is a battle that clearly must be judged and won on facial hairAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-83436975080780869972014-01-31T20:48:10.424-05:002014-01-31T20:48:10.424-05:00to all the people whinging about all the drunken b...to all the people whinging about all the drunken bar people...i lived in the area in my 20's and 30's, why? because it was fun ( all the bars) now that i'm old and don't want that any more, i've moved to more adult neighborhood. sure the new people are douchier and there are ALOT more of them. but still, move on and stop sounding like the crotchety old fart you've turned into. steps down from soap box.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-89687050773235292552014-01-31T20:32:59.391-05:002014-01-31T20:32:59.391-05:00Brooklyn is the new "extreme" in marketi...Brooklyn is the new "extreme" in marketing.
