Throw up your love


Missed Connections, for sure...

Your friend was passed out - you wanted the ride - m4w - 30 (East Village)

Date: 2010-10-20, 12:43PM EDT

Saturday 1am, you were 3 girls, 1 of which wasn't feeling well. I'm one of the 3 guys that were waiting for you to get in the car to take you home, but your friend started throwing up.
I'd love to get to know you.

"You're Indian"

Per Craigslist today:

sat night L train, you're indian - w4m (East Village)
you got on the L train at bedford, and I got off at 1st avenue. I was with a guy who seemed like my boyfriend, but he was just a friend. And you and I kept making eye contact, and I didn't know what to do. If you read this, let's chat! I thought you were hot!


That Missed Connections headline could be a band name: Saturday night L train, you're indian

Hi, we're Saturday night L train, you're indian and we have T-shirts for sale in the back...

A chivalrous cyclist

From Craigslist:

Bicyclist Saves Girl w. Luggage - w4m - 24 (East Village)

A thank you to the nice man in a gray hoodie and red scarf who used his bicycle to block me from the angry homeless man outside my building as I struggled to get my luggage through the door.

Let the weary traveler buy you a drink?

We'll always have the L train

Via Craigslist:

To the guy who spit on me last night - w4m - 21 (East Village)
Date: 2010-10-05, 2:40PM EDT

Me: standing on the platform of the L train at Union Square, harmlessly kissing my companion.

You: Absolutely fucking batshit.

I have no idea what prompted this, but thanks for coming up and spitting in our faces. I really appreciated your saliva in my eye. It really made the mood all the more special.

"Apartment Eviction Sale - He Didn't Pay His Rent So We Through Him Out"



And do I detect a good deal of glee in the tone of this...?

Apartment Eviction Sale - He Didn't Pay His Rent So We Through Him Out (East 2nd Street)
Date: 2010-10-02, 4:32PM EDT

Former tenant has been evicted from a one bedroom apartment and his property has been defaulted. Mostly furniture, home electronics, bedroom set, living room items and more. List is below. Email for prices.

Barfing friend ruins chance of getting beautiful Persian girl's number



From Craigslist, of course:

Beautiful Persian girl waiting for L (my friend got sick) - m4w - 29 (East Village)

Date: 2010-09-26, 11:26AM EDT

We started talking and kind of hit it off. Then we got on the subway car and my friend got sick. Obviously it was just strait up awkward / inappropriate to ask for you number. I remember your name, job etc... so we'll leave that as confirmation if you actually end up reading this and replying.

Emotions in motion on the Second Avenue bike lane



Via Craigslist:

You were riding your bike down 2nd ave. Chastizing a cab as he turned - m4w (East Village)

Date: 2010-09-16, 10:01AM EDT

The cab was making a left on 6th street I believe and you turned slightly while shouting at him to recognize the bike lane. I told you I empathized. It's happened to me a few times. Then you rode south on 2nd Ave. You're feisty and beautiful. Hope you I hear from you.


Too soon to rename the bike lane Lover's Lane?

Beats getting screwed by your landlord

A reader sent along an interesting Craigslist ad for a room on St. Mark's Place.



I always appreciate the transparency in ads. In this case:

My partner and I are offering this vastly reduced rent because we would like to maintain access to the room in question. We lead an 'alternative' lifestyle, and use the room to host fetish and bdsm themed photo/video shoots and sessions . It is our photo studio basically. Nothing illegal and absolutely no sex will take place in your living space. We will not ask you to participate, only to shift to another room from time to time, and we will thoroughly clean the room every time we use it. We also rarely use the space for more than two or three hours at a time.

We'll always have Craigslist: Parting the curtains at Buffalo Exchange


Like most things too good to be true on Craigslist, this NC-17 ad is a probably fake, but...

Buffalo exchange - m4w (East Village)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 2010-06-09, 6:25PM EDT


We were across the aisle from each other in the dressing room. After a few minutes I realized my curtain was cracked and you could see all of me. First I was embarrassed and then I noticed that you had opened your curtain so I could see you too. I wanted nothing more than to sneak into your dressing room and eat your pussy until you came again and again. I can't get that beautiful image of you out of my head!

You were wearing a skirt and black/gray backpack and. Sadly, I missed you when you left. I would love to see you again! xoxo


Well... that's so sweet. I hope this has a happy ending. Maybe this can become another Subway Girl of His Dreams. Hmmm.... The Buffalo Exchange Dressing Room Woman of My Dreams With Whom I'd Like to Perform Oral Sex On... OK, this needs some work...

And it's not in that place that defaulted or anything


I was looking at a Craigslist ad for a four-bedroom duplex, with a backyard, laundry, etc., etc., in the East Village. One of those let's-get-nine-new-grads-to-live-here-and-party-while-we-make-Manhattan-ours places for $5,200. Anyway, I don't know, this last line of the ad cracked me up:

GREAT LOCATION, A FEW SHORT BLOCKS TO L TRAIN (NOT STUYVESANT TOWN)

The Trader Joe's love connection



From Craigslist:

To every man who works at Trader Joes on 14th - w4m (Union Square) - m4w (East Village)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We love you, too.

And to clear something up: Not everyone likes to talk much. Odds are that the employee liked you but felt uncomfortable asking for your number at work. When in doubt, make the offer yourself.

The guys I work with are a pretty great group, most with college degrees, some with grad degrees. They're artists and musicians and writers and actors and comedians and models and rappers and photographers and filmmakers. Smart, guys creative guys doing manual labor, and sometimes, you have to ask them yourself.

You should give a name. TJ's Missed Connections often end well.




Maybe there is something about a man in a Hawaiian shirt uniform. And remember: When in doubt, make the offer yourself. I actually know someone who was arrested for making the offer...

Hey Gorilla Coffee staff -- a new East Village coffee shop wants to hire you

Well, it seems as if the news on this got going Friday with a tweet from 13th Street's Everyman Espresso (@EverymanNY) and then reported on by the good people at Fucked in Park Slope and Sprudge ... on Friday, just about the entire staff at Park Slope fave Gorilla Coffee resigned... (You can read more about it in Diner's Journal)

Anyway, late yesterday afternoon, our friends at East Village Feed picked up the following Craigslist posting:



Seeking former Gorilla Coffee employees (East Village)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seeking former Gorilla Coffee baristas/roasters/coffee-house employees we are looking for you!

A brand new establishment in the heart of the East Village promising to pay top dollar to former employees of Gorilla Coffee (in Park Slope).

We would love to offer you a new opportunity at a new coffee house which promises fair management.

Please respond with a resume as well as the time period that you were employed at Gorilla.

Well, we're not aware of any new coffee shops opening anytime soon in the "heart of the East Village..." though there are several places under wraps that we have our eyes on... So, point being, this could be a fake, of course...

Oops. We totally forgot about the Film Academy Cafe opening in the former Astor Place Starbucks East location... Per a reader, those help wanted signs are now up there...

Did you leave a briefcase with $78,383 inside on the Lower East Side?


You can always count on Craigslist...

Suitcase with $78,383 inside (Lower East Side)

Date: 2010-03-28, 5:10AM EDT

I thought I would at least post this. If you can describe the other items inside I will return. If not I am taking to the Police and after no one claims it I think I can legally own this. It is real hard posting this. But I know it is the right thing to do.

So you write back with the descriptions.

Color of Briefcase:
How many combinations on the suitcase/ bill types:
Other items inside:

My girlfriend is shaking her head and staring at me as I post this....i think it is the right thing to do.




[Update: Yep, it's a fake post. The Voice has the story. It was a social experiment!]

Craigslist headline of the day: "to the two little shit twerp crooks last night at jimmy's no.43"



On Craigslist...

this is your bartender speaking.
i really, truly believe you stole my jacket. because someone did. and you left abruptly before finishing a beer of which you first complained about the price then borrowed money to buy. you also made a quip about not being easily identified at a crime scene.

i don't care about either of you, but please leave my jacket at the bar sometime soon. unless you threw it in a city trash can on the corner once you realized no one would leave anything valuble in an unattended jacket.

who knows, maybe you fucks are wearing my pressed powder & eyeliner. jokes on you tomorrow at school - that shits waterproof and i'm willing to bet college boys don't know how to properly wash their face.

there are two possible endings to this story - i see my jacket again, or you're smart enough not to walk back into the bar and hope i don't recognize your shitty prepubescent patchy facial hair on the street.

kisses!

Renters lured by proximity to the Redhead, Duane Reade

Here's an apartment ad over at Craigslist that may just draw the attention of bacon lovers...

$2600 / 1br - **FLOORPLAN** 3/15-- Gut renovated 700sf 1br w/ SS Kitchen *No Fee* (East Village)

***************NEW TO MARKET*****************

This Apartment is currently being completely gut renovated by a professional company. I would describe it as a premium renovation. Huge 1 br apartment with very large closet in bedroom, large living room. Kitchen will have stainless steel appliances, marble bathroom, the works. Great price on a fantastic first floor 1br in Prime East Village just 1 block to L train. Close landmarks include Redhead, numerous bodegas, Duane Reade, multiple laundromats (one literally right across the street), too much fun to name. As I said, apartment is being gut renovated so its not very photogenic right now, but if you're interested I can show you a completed unit.
