I can’t believe it’s not meat! Did you miss the book release party for “Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World” at Freddy’s Bar (Dean Street in Prospect Heights, Nov. 11)? Prospect Heights author and vegan cooking guru Isa Chandra Moskowitz showed off her book, gave away delicious free-range cupcakes and cookbooks, and Brooklyn bands Winning Looks and The Shondes performed in the back room.

The event (and the cupcakes) got glowing reviews on the Prospect Heights Message Boards. Splunge reports: “The cupcakes were super delicious and moist. Entertaining bands, to boot.” Carnivore adds: “I tried 2, offered to me by Isa’s “cupcake bitch” (that’s what Isa called her, before you all get mad at me) … I never would have guessed [the cupcakes] were vegan if I hadn’t been told.” The ultimate compliment for veggies and meat eaters alike.

Isa’s book can be found at amazon.com as well as on her website: http://www.theppk.com

Where is good ol’ Peaches when you need her? Why is the mail ending up anywhere but the mailbox? What’s up with that substitute mail lady?
Josh B is one of several PH people to complain on the Prospect Heights Board: “She’s super-short, so she refuses to put any mail in mailboxes she can’t reach. She throws all my mail–bills, checks included–on the floor of my apartment lobby and forces us to sort out the mail for each apartment. We put a tiny ladder (like, three steps) out there for her, but she refuses to use it, saying she could ‘hurt herself.’ ”

What this neighborhood needs is a USPS cloning machine… Anotherdayinbkln writes about Peaches: “she’s so good, she makes me show her my I.D. if I go to my mailbox before she’s done filling them all up.”

No end to Brooklyn mail troubles on the Prospect Heights Message Board
