Casuistry, is that Flushing or Jamaica?

C0L1N B..., Thursday, 26 July 2007 15:19 (eighteen years ago)

where is grady's tropical paradise map?

sunny successor, Thursday, 26 July 2007 16:11 (eighteen years ago)

My map fits right over the East End on RJG's (and a tiny bit west of High Street). Now stalk me.

Madchen, Thursday, 26 July 2007 16:53 (eighteen years ago)

Closer to Flushing. (Bayside.)

Casuistry, Thursday, 26 July 2007 17:02 (eighteen years ago)

it's something like this, but i didn't consult a map. i left out a few minor streets too.

gabbneb, Friday, 27 July 2007 14:43 (eighteen years ago)

What city is that?

kenan, Friday, 27 July 2007 14:57 (eighteen years ago)

(I'm kidding.)

kenan, Friday, 27 July 2007 14:57 (eighteen years ago)

i meant to put barnsdall park on there at the end but got lazy.

i used to "live" on 107 and broadway but i dont remember no servered head holding crab calws

sunny successor, Friday, 27 July 2007 20:00 (eighteen years ago)

It's the base of the big statue, next to the cathedral -- the eye is drawn to the winged battle and moon-face and giraffeasaurus thing, but at the base there is a giant crab claw clutching a severed human head.

That's FASCINATING & GREAT. Totally makes up for that eyesore scaffolding.

Abbott, Friday, 27 July 2007 20:12 (eighteen years ago)

wow

sunny successor, Friday, 27 July 2007 20:16 (eighteen years ago)

Fun facts:

- that's allegedly, like ... the largest gothic-style church in North America, or something
- it's not even finished, hence the scaffolding
- its official archivist/librarian is Madeleine L'Engle
- its yearly Blessing of the Animals freaked the hell out of me when I first moved to town, because I went out to get tacos and there was a BULL and a PENGUIN walking down the middle of the street like nothing was up
- if you zoom in really far on that picture, you can find me urinating behind a bush

nabisco, Friday, 27 July 2007 20:18 (eighteen years ago)

what is the name of this church?

kenan, Friday, 27 July 2007 20:20 (eighteen years ago)

THE NABISCO PEE PEE CHURCH

Mr. Que, Friday, 27 July 2007 20:21 (eighteen years ago)

j/k brah :)

Mr. Que, Friday, 27 July 2007 20:22 (eighteen years ago)

when i was there in 97 it was all scaffolding too. when will they finish??

ST Johns? Catholic, right?

sunny successor, Friday, 27 July 2007 20:23 (eighteen years ago)

cathedral of st. john the divine

note the accuracy of my mspaint rendition

nabisco, Friday, 27 July 2007 20:26 (eighteen years ago)

Oh hey is that bookzstore any good? I could go for a good near-a-university bookzstore and some Ethiops be making coffee.

Casuistry, Sunday, 29 July 2007 17:32 (eighteen years ago)

It's the best new book store in the city.

C0L1N B..., Sunday, 29 July 2007 17:59 (eighteen years ago)

New? Blah. Well I'll still check it out. I was pleased enough by McN-Rob.

Casuistry, Sunday, 29 July 2007 18:03 (eighteen years ago)

They have really good clearance stuff--I think there's a bunch of Dalkey Archives stuff going for like $4 right now. New York is not great for used books.

C0L1N B..., Sunday, 29 July 2007 18:06 (eighteen years ago)

Well no, but there are a decent number of stores at least.

Mmm, Dalkey.

Casuistry, Sunday, 29 July 2007 18:36 (eighteen years ago)

hasn't bookz been there for like 10 years?

gabbneb, Sunday, 29 July 2007 18:45 (eighteen years ago)

New books, gabbneb.

C0L1N B..., Sunday, 29 July 2007 18:52 (eighteen years ago)

nabisco, where's the ethiopian coffee place? WANT NOW

also tehresa's northcastle map is very accurate. i cant think of anything i'd add.

bell_labs, Sunday, 29 July 2007 18:55 (eighteen years ago)

i left out dunkin' donuts!
also pls to rename "bar that has big patio but is meat market, etc." as "the rape zone"
