I was driving through Brooklyn Heights one night right after Giametti won a Golden Globe award for Sideways and lo and behold, I saw him getting out of a cab and getting into a building on Pierrpoint. I yelled out the window Congratultions (it seemed like a good idea at the time) and he turned around Giant smile and said THANK YOU! I loved him in that movie and also in American Splendor. Dibs, that pizzaria is on 43rd and they have a line down the block. I quit eating pizza but caved in the other day — YUM very good.
Paul Giamatti has lived on Pierrepont for a really long time. He’s just moving from Pierrepont btw Willow and Henry to Pierrepont btw Henry and Hicks.
I don’t know why I should like him more for buying a reasonably-sized place, but I do.
So that WAS Paul Giamatti I passed recently on my way to work. Corner of Clinton and Pierrepont; I had to pause s he could pass by me.
There’s a $1 pizza place on 44th St between Lexington & 3rd. There’s always a line out the door and the pizza is good.
Take-out only, dibs. But 6th & 7th Av.s in Manhattan were both still two-way streets & subway was 15 cents too. (And a Good Humor was a dime!)
When I was a kid a slice was 15 cents – we screamed when it went up to 25.

Yeah, and my brownstone was just being built. Was delivery available by horse-drawn carriage?
“You would thibnk that most semi-reputable sites (Real Estalker) don’t put up advertising without first checking it for malware.”
You MIGHT think that, but I wouldn’t trust them. I’ve seen too much crap on sites generally considered fully-reputable. I wouldn’t ever click on that stuff.

Speaking of prostitution, it looks like my call on TTF is working out nicely!!!!
