a.k.a. The Book of Lamentations:
a bitterly nostalgic look at a city in the process of going extinct
- Jeremiah Moss
- THE BOOK:
"We should all buy Jeremiah Moss’s book, Vanishing New York." --Sarah Jessica Parker
“Essential reading for fans of Jane Jacobs, Joseph Mitchell, Patti Smith, Luc Sante, and cheap pierogi.” --Vanity Fair
"a vigorous, righteously indignant book that would do Jane Jacobs proud." --Kirkus Reviews
THE BLOG:
"the go-to hub for those who lament New York's loss of character." --Crain's
"No one takes stock of New York's changes with the same mixture of snark, sorrow, poeticism, and lyric wit as Jeremiah Moss." --Village Voice, Best of NY
“Jeremiah Moss…is the defender of all the undistinguished hunks of masonry that lend the streets their rhythm.” --Justin Davidson, New York Magazine
"One of the most thorough and pugnacious chroniclers of New York’s blandification." --The Atlantic, Citylab
"Hyperbolic and combative, tireless and passionate." --Salon
I cast my vote for Jeremiah as Mr LES 2010. Dust off that velvet tux!

ReplyDeletesomehow, i don't think their categories ("best male tits," etc.) require a tux.
All you need are two well-positioned cupcakes. Ta-da!

The Tea Lounge in Park Slope has been trying to have Wednesday Bingo Nights. Not sure how successful they've been (or if they are being done for charitable purposes). That Nostrand Bingo Hall is something!
ReplyDeleteJeremiah,
ReplyDeleteDon't know about Mr. LES - hey, why not - but that ad for the Ford Edge in 'edgy' Brooklyn with miss Brooklyn Based and her funky artisanal, funky coffee-loving friends was about the most gag-inducing thing I've seen in awhile. Makes me glad to live in Bed-Stuy where those people are still a few years away from taking over.
