Gowanus Yacht Club Is Hiring Writers

Looks like Gowanus Yacht Club, the outdoor beer garden on the corner of Smith and President, is already looking for a springtime staff — and all those "I'm-waiting-tables-until-I-finish-my-first-novel" types are invited to show off their literary skills in a one-page essay about why they'd like to work at this "fine establishment." When we were snapping pictures of their resume box, a passer-by leaned in and said, "I could write a 10-page essay about why I wouldn't want to work there," but he refused to elaborate, for fear of stepping on anyone's toes. The comment piqued our curiosity — what's so bad about working at Gowanus?

UPDATE: Looks like our pals at A Brooklyn Life spotted this, too!

GYC is just great in warm weather. It's a little crowded and the bathrooms are dirty, but what's better than hot dogs and cold beer outside among friends?

I heart the GYC. Lots of good memories there. I just wish it was bigger; we never even try to hang out there when there are more than two or three of us, it's impossible to find a table. Ah well, that's why God created the Astoria beer garden.
