City Room, a New York Times blog, published a rant from Julia Willkie over the weekend about the cluttered streets and sidewalks in Manhattan. She cites sidewalk vendors, superfluous “honor boxes” for free publications, and an excess of phone booths among her primary woes. She quite dramatically writes: “The center of the Upper East Side is beginning to resemble a hardened hooker of the night.” What we would like to know is if street clutter has become a problem for any of us in Brooklyn. Readers, what do you think—do the crowds of Seventh Avenue in Park Slope or Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg get you down? Is there a Brooklyn equivalent to Ms. Willkie’s slightly overwrought description of Manhattan’s crowded streets?

Ah. But of course. I was mistakenly thinking “fustercluck.”
think that the bedford crowd is watching a band play. seen them there before. they only shut the street down a few times in the summer, and it’s fine really.
don’t think anywhere in brooklyn is too crowded.
soho is RIDICULOUS as is the high 50’s / low ’60’s east side / central park.
i am super over working in Soho for sure.
am seriously considering moving my biz to williamsburg.
watch the loot
I originally misread it as “hardened hooker of the right” and immediatley thought she was talking about Ann Coulter!
I hate those “honor boxes”!
