Eating for Brooklyn writes: “Slightly hungover Saturday morning (or was it afternoon?), I was craving a burger to help cure me and a place that wasn’t too bright…”

“For about $6.00 you get a sizable burger that is charred to near perfection. I also opted for the greasy onion rings for $3.50. The dough was fried nice and crispy while the onion was heated up to release just the right amount of sweetness. Most of the draft beers, except some of the pricier imports like Belgium’s Delirium Tremens (overrated if you ask me), are $3.00.”

NIMBY Yuppies Stealthily “Disappearing” Tacky Public Trash Cans?

Posted by dailyheights on Thursday 10 November 2005 at 8:19 am

photo-by-vito-fun-viceland.com-issue-v11n6.jpgsje writes in the Prospect Heights Message Boards: “Has anyone else noticed that the wire garbage baskets, usually on every corner, or at least every other corner, are disappearing in Prospect Heights? Is the city trying to save money?”

“If you own dogs like I do, it gets mighty old carrying a bag of stinking fresh shit around for 4 or 5 blocks trying to find a can to throw it in. I don’t like putting it in people’s personal trash cans in front of their houses, but I frequently have no choice.”

“I mostly walk them on Underhill, which is especially barren. What’s going on? How can we get them back? 311?”

daisyh adds: “I’ve been thinking the same thing in Park Slope. There is exactly one public trash can between Flatbush and Union along 6th! What’s the deal? I have a sneaking suspicion that the residents have something to do with it - the cans are too tacky, too declassé for the beautiful Slope…”
