Smartmom: Hepcat hates Father’s Day and could care less about gifts and cards. He feels the same way about Mother’s Day, but Smartmom has trained him to line up — along with the rest of the male population of Park Slope — at the Clay Pot to procure her Mother’s Day offering.

Atlantic Yards: Where the female’s torso would be, there
is a zigzag cutout, reminiscent of a puzzle piece, or maybe half
a bear trap. The claw-like shape rests on curvaceous legs, twisted
in a half crouch and flexing a naked derriere. Beneath the imposing
posterior lies another cutout: the smaller, missing half of the
puzzle/trap, from which a male hand reaches upward, yearning
toward the towering bronze buttocks above.

Park Slope native Danny Leiner says the
goals of his new film, "The Great New Wonderful," were
to effectively capture the mood and energy in the Big Apple a
year after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and to show how
those feelings of anxiety and loss worked as invisible threads
connecting the lives of five seemingly unrelated sets of New
Yorkers.

"Just like Greece," said my friend
as we were led to our table at Agnanti Meze in Bay Ridge. He
was stating the obvious. It was as steamy as August in Athens
in the dining room; with only ceiling fans making a lazy whirl
above us, we stayed hot most of the night.
