Closing Bell: Northside Piers Bring Manhattan to Bburg

northside.jpg
For those Manhattanites still fearing the shift to Brooklyn Life, Northside Towers offers encouragement: the Manhattan "lifestyle" is alive and well in those buildings. That's the word from Williamsburg Is Dead who offered a translation of an advertorial email ("The problem is, you always tell yourself, [friends who moved to Williamsburg] gave up Manhattan. And more important: the Manhattan lifestyle. But all that changes with Two Northside Piers") that landed in his inbox: "Oh no, you lost all your money! You can't afford to live in Manhattan anymore. You could move to Brooklyn but everyone there is all like "Have you read such-and-such book?" and "I love art blah blah blah." Luckily there is a super-shiny condo for you to move into." This couple, from their Web site, is apparently already enmeshed in the lifestyle.

I might go to try to, get her bombed, stick her in a cab back to Manahattan, flirt with him and take him back to my place.

This ad would be better if there was a machete weilding maniac in place of the attractive hetero couple.

11217, why would someone so attractive agree to go home with you?

Posted by: Inigo at October 9, 2008 7:27 PM

I think I'm probably closer to getting that guy home with me, than the chances of that woman doing anything but give you a dirty look on the subway.

Posted by: 11217 at October 9, 2008 7:38 PM

well you will probably win her over with your tremendous charm and compassionate nature. (HA!)

Posted by: Inigo at October 9, 2008 8:45 PM
