  • Williamsburg: The L Cafe
  • Dumbo: Arrival of Street Signs
  • Red Hook: Guys Holding Hands
  • Fort Greene: Vanishing Characters
  • Carroll Gardens: Appearance of Organic Stuff
  • Ditmas Park: Lattes
  • Bay Ridge: “We Speak English” Signs
  • Sunset Park: Mexican Cornona Stick
  • Canarsie: Firebombing
  • Windsor Terrace: Chicken Breasts
  • Bedford Stuyvesant: Unsolicited Offers
  • Prospect Heights: Mr. January
