Damn. This article really infuriated me: A Guide to Greenpoint that doesn’t even mention one Polish business? How is that even possible? What a smack in the face to an entire community that has inhabited that neighborhood for decades. There so many great Polish restaurant/bars, delis, meat markets, etc. I guess if they lack pretension, smug, beards, thick-framed glasses, scarfs and wool hats in the summer, and Gilligan-shaped kazoo-voiced beta males – then they are not worth visiting or mentioning. Make sure you watch the slide show when you click on the link and pay attention to the addresses of each location; five of those hipster patronized businesses are on one street: Franklin St. I’m pretty sure the author of the article went straight to that street not even bothering to go anywhere else in Greenpoint. Also, gotta love the last sentence of the eighth place No.7 Sub Shop. (who the fuck calls sandwiches SUBS in New York?) The article ends with: “Not to mention, all the cocktails and sandwiches are only $9 [each] — what’s not to love?” Only $9.00???? Only?? Wow, it must be great to be a part-time freelance blog reporter intern who LOVES those prices.
It really amazes me how these hipsters and yupsters want to erase anything and everything that made Brooklyn and other parts of New York what they are. Everything they participate in, patronize, and put out there in their own media bubble is Anti-Real Brooklyn. Getting back to sandwiches; here’s an example of how the idiotic hipster’s mind works: If I tell you that you are getting a ham and cheese sandwich from lets say John’s Deli on Stillwell Ave (in real Brooklyn) - you know you are gonna get a great sandwich – end of story; and you only need to call it a ham and cheese sandwich. Now if you are a pretentious, wanna-be foodie hipster piece of shit, you will need to told the sandwich comes on artisan bread with cured, Appalachian forest maple wood smoked ham, imported carved-off-the-wheel cage-free goat’s milk swiss, locally sourced rooftop arugula and smeared with specialty hand-crafted bacon and pomegranate infused mayonnaise.
Here’s the weirdest part: even though you’ll read about the “hand-crafted artisan” bullshit in the media, I’ve rarely heard a hipster talk about it. Maybe I’ve only ever talked to a specific kind of hipster. What I tend to hear is, “It’s just like, good, I don’t know, you just like, have to eat it to understand.”
Yeah, it’s like new york isn’t the same anymore. We shouldn’t let anyone move here. Couldn’t we just kill people that act weird? We could rob rich looking people.. that’d fucking teach em. They are replacing all the things that made NYC great! Rise Up People! Lets teach these bastards a fucking lesson!
NO we will just kill men who wear womens pants, cant play real sports and compensate by playing kickball and tightrope walking, shank any motherfucker wearing a scarf or beaner in summertime, decapitate any motherfuck who has a cupcake tattoo, do a hit and run on that one hipster faggot who does ‘performance art’ and is in everyones face about it, or actually we just put a tent over Bushwick and exterminate the vermin out. Gasing you and your kind to death, you fucking scumbag faggot. You are pathetic. You are wondering, ‘why does he hate me?’ I hate anything about men who are feminine. There is nothing, NOTHING manly about being a hipster. Everything you do reminds me of little girls playing. Sissy, pansey, queer, fancy lad, dandy, vaginaboy, all these words sum up hipsters. I dont even mind gay people….just the outrageous sissy girlie ones i hate. Normal gay people do not bother me one bit….you faggot hipsters need to start acting more masculine and maybe youd get some fucking respect. Do some pushups you faggot. Take a boxing class. Learn how to defend yourselves, instead, you sit on street corners banging cheese graders and playing kazoos and fuckin ukuleles and get in EVERYONES FACE ABOUT IT. you are trash….
Yeah ! I’m in! Let kill these sissy fucks! Or we can forcibly take off their closes and put them in real clothes! Maybe like jeans and a baseball cap… maybe like a t-shirt that fucking fits! Then we can take them and teach them real sports like fucking football and shit! We can teach them to fight and fucking defend themselves! We can smash their fucking banjos so they can’t do their pansey songs! If they don’t comply… then it’s fucking curtains…. these people make me sick! I’m with you bodybagPAT! Let’s end this shit! Contact me at my site… I’m gather a gang of like minded real New Yorkers to take this shit to the street and either get rid of these assholes or reform them forcibly. Best regards.
Damn Zane,
You really got hurt discovering this site huh? Didn’t think us bland natives saw right through your zany uniforms and faux creativity? When I see one of you out of place hipster transplants come on here and squeal like a bitch – I know this site is doing its job. LOL, enjoy your locally sourced fair trade lettuce and granola “sub”, Ethan.
I am fucking offended! I am a fucking native! I am on your side! Lets get these fucks! Do you want to meet somewhere to fight me and prove my nativity?
Heres the wierdest part:
Hipsters are deevolutionized men. You are weak, skinny, have slow reflexes, co dependent on your mommies and daddies, and you couldn’t crash a little girls tea party without getting thrown out by her 5 year old boyfriend because you are no match for him physically.
Imagine if a bunch of real men moved into your neighborhood by the droves. Imagine if real men shadowboxed on street corners and tried to make everyone that walk by box them. Imagine if hockey players practiced their slapshots and hip checks on walking pedestrians. Imagine if kickboxers practiced their technique and kicks on streetcorners and their spinning elbows on your face.
Real men don’t do this. There is a time and a place. They don’t give a fuck if people in the street know what they do in their spare time. Real men don’t want strangers knowing anything about them. They have REAL things going on in their lives…………you seriously wonder why everyone thinks of you all as man babies?
You really nailed it, Pat – never heard or seen it explained better.
Co-sign. I like the way he kept it concise, yet detailed. I wish i could do that.
De-Evolution of body, mind, AND brain.
If you’re weak of body but have mad coding skillz, can navigate your way around a cut-open human body, or can design and build bridges, you are an adult who contributes a lot to society.
If you’re strong and skilled and can fix an engine, lay electric, water or telecom lines, put out fires, or keep the peace, same thing.
If you’re neither, you might be a hipster.
I bet you’ve never heard them say this about their ice cream either…
“hand made, super premium, philidelphia style non dairy ice cream”
The only thing pussies like you were good enough for back in high school was to throw apples at their faces. I think we need to bring that tradition back….
The article does not mention The Polish because these Hipsters are self centered fucks with no respect for the “NATIVE” population, hence, this is why we hate them. They have no fucking respect.
What I don’t get is that these people — to use the word in a very loose sense — apparently go on and on about “buying local” and “supporting local business,” but then they don’t patronise the local stores that were in the neighbourhoods long before they ever appeared. Indeed, based on what I have read here, they seem to go out of their way to avoid them.
Racism, in other words.
Hipsters sometimes find their way onto this site and accuse many of them of being racists. But I find does nothing of the sort and has been very supportive of New York City’s diverse ethnic make up and traditions, and against the racism that hipsters seem to propagate.
Sorry, I made a mistake. I meant to say:
Hipsters sometimes find their way onto this site and accuse many posters of being racists. But I find that this site does nothing of the sort and has been very supportive of New York City’s diverse ethnic make up and heritage, and against the racism that hipsters seem to propagate.
As a half-Polish person, I wouldn’t say that hipsters are racist, just conventional and unwilling to try new things – and they react to conventional things like they discovered it.
Wanna bet Josh Dupek (who’s not Polish, of course) will start up a food cart making “artisanal Polish-inspired food”, including golumpki using locally-sourced ground beef and rooftop cabbage, and warehouse-slaughtered pig turned into kolbassi…..for $12 for a lunch plate?
I wanted to damn them with faint praise by saying they aren’t racist, just conventional and cultural appropriators.
Interesting surname that you chose for Joshy there.
I just don’t understand how they can talk about “local” and “sustainable,” while at the same time completely ignoring shops, ma & pa businesses, that have been there for many years.
Why would I buy “Polish-inspired” food when I could just go to a regular Polish restaurant and eat actual Polish food? Why would ANYBODY buy [insert ethnic group]-inspired food at all? If I’m going out for ethnic food, I damn better get the real deal.
Heroes=NYC
Hoagies=Philadelphia/PA
Subs=NJ (actually South Jersey)
I can think of several reasons why Polish business didn’t make this idiotic list:
1. As “ethnic” and authentic the businesses may be, they don’t market to hipsters.
They hard core traditional and don’t cater to DNA strand physique d**chebags. But I bet if someone were to
open a restaurant shilling Polish/Prague Fusion cuisine there would be a line going out the door. Polish cuisine is not
like Italian or Mexican. It’s still pure and no one really f*cks around with it. I’ve had lots of lousy Italian, Mexican and Asian food.
but I;ve Never, ever had bad polish food. Again because the restaurants still cater to old school types and they still have a 70 year old woman
in the kitchen stirring the borscht and making the pierogi.
2. The slide show is a glimpse into the future. It’s not worth their time to showcase the old time stores
Because everyone knows full well they won’t be around much longer.
Kev, #1 is making my mouth water. Now you making me go to Baltimore for some good eats. None of it in DC at all; that’s all touristy like Disney World now.
If you go to Franklin Street, as that blogger did, you’ll be so overwhelmed with the shit they’ve got there that it won’t even occur to you to venture over to Manhattan Ave. And, sadly, there’s not even THAT much Polish food on Manhattan Ave. There’s a good amount, but I imagine there used to be more.
This pinpoints EXACTLY why I hate hipsters as a native New Yorker. They move in and completely disregard or erase the original New York flavor that has been there for decades. UGH!!!
‘Expertly curated novel selections’…well if that’s all it takes to be a curator, I’m updating my resume!
Even one mention of Polish businesses would have been okay. I had my socks knocked off at a Polish restaurant in Greenpoint a few years back – wow did I eat! – and nowhere on the menu did I hear about the exact source of the meats, cheeses or flour. I have nothing against the ice cream company mentioned in the article, but do I really need to know about Bronte almonds or whatever? Sounds like they were sourced by the bookshop curators.
Cat’s out of the bag; I’m Polish and I reside in Greenpoint. With that said, the Polish community here is on life support.
The number of Polish owned shops, bakeries, restaurants, meat stores, etc. has decreased tremendously. You’ll still find a few gems here and there, but from the ones that are still operation, they are also considering closing for the same exact reason as others did before: increase in rent prices. Same goes for other places of businesses that were/are owned by Italians, Irish, Greeks, what have you. Staples of the community are just barely slugging along.
makes me sad. the amazing Polish food is one of the many things I miss about Brooklyn.
There used to be two Polish butchers on Bedford Avenue between N. 7 and N. 8 streets. Now they are gone forever. Talk about sad. The fresh kielbasa cooked on the bbq was UN-BE-LIE-VA-BLE.
Dont cry, now you can have cruelty free Portland rabbit elbows instead. you are so far behind the times.
They were replaced by a place that only sells meatballs and a chicken shop that claims in their store sign to have been there since 1969.
Yeah, the red store butcher was old school and had some great stuff and low prices, but they were getting old and finally gave up. The place that is now Peter’s wasn’t all that great (I could get the same cuts at Key Food), the staff also had some kind of attitude that turned me off so I stopped going in there in 1992. Peter’s is ok, not great but good. Still like Kasia’s. The oil spill end of Greenpoint has some ok Polish “Rating Pending” style places to sit down on Nassau and Norman. The ladies at Warsaw do make some kick ass perogies.
The reason the hipster blog doens’t mention any of the Polish eats is because they are so terrified that if they said something wrong about the Polish eateries, some big manly men will come over to their condo and bweak their wittle Mac.
I’m afraid that the infestation is making its way up Driggs and Nassau now.
Fucking appalling. Ignoring all the awesome Polish restaurants and meatmarkets as if they don’t exist. These fucks are really inbred. Die, scum, die. Get the fuck out of my hood.
oh yeah… these people have to be killed at once! how do we do that? can we call 311? “yeah, 311, there’s this guy with red pants here… he likes acting weird or something… can i have him removed? oh, you’ll be here to remove him? ok, thanks.”
Funny how when a hipster comes on here to mock us, he hypothetically has us call the police to get rid of the hipster…because calling the police is a classic first line of defense for a hipster…I’ll let you in on a little secret, Sally-boy, when real men want someone removed from their bar, club, whatever, we beat the shit into them. you fucking pussy
“Hello? What kind of bag do I need to use to dispose of the body? Blue bag is ok for the head? What day is hipster refuse recycling pick up? Oh, Thursday only, ok, thanks..*click*”
I’m angered at the destruction of Greenpoint’s “Polish” identity by these midwestern freaks of nature. The only thing they do is come into a neighbourhood, decimate its prior character and replace with this bland and overpriced Hipsterism.
Correction: and replace it with..
Argh, these people are pissing me off so much that I’ve made grammatical errors…
Well folks, this is all very easy to remedy; just increase the illusion of more street crime and see all the hipsters run back to mommy and daddy in Iowa, or where ever they’re from. Spread rumors about shootings, muggings, hold ups, etc. Deli and newsstand owners are the best source of neighborhood gossip, so start from there. Supers are great too. As someone who has infiltrated their world in order to see what makes them tick, I can tell you that most of these hipsters are big babies, who are on the phone or texting mommy and daddy the minute something goes wrong (my boss at my unpaid internship yelled at me! Wahhhhh!!; I have to get up at 7! Wahhhh!!!). And of course, mommy and daddy will tell them to come back home because they’re not subsidizing their ‘dangerous’ lifestyle any longer.
We tried that, Bloomie and Kelly tried that, everybody tried that – it didn’t work. All they do is sleep in even later…
“Session beers have lower alcohol content, making them ideal for extended drinking and rounds of shuffleboard.”
How much you want to be that less alcohol doesn’t make them any cheaper?
Low alcohol beer and shuffleboard?
Remember the days of real beer, broken pool cues and restraining orders?
These dweebs are about as Brooklyn as William F. Buckley.
As recently as the 1970s a lot of states had what was commonly called “three-two” or “near beer”. It was beer that could have no higher than 3.2% alcohol content by volume. It could be sold in retaurants with much looser beverage licensing requirements than a full liquor license or even than just a beer and wine license, or could be sold off-site more hours of the week than strong beer. Last I heard there were only a few states left with a 3.2 requirement, all in the midwest. And the only state I know for sure that still has a 3.2 law is, wait for it, MINNESOTA.
Maybe “session beers” is hipster for “near beers”??
Yet another horrible part of my state that they are bringing to NYC…
Session beers are usually between 3.2 and 5% ABV, qualities you will find in most American macros. They are meant to be consumed in large quantities, like most American beers. I personally like to stick with American craft beers, sessionable or not, because it’s my career and it’s what I prefer. But as far as I can see, people who brew or enjoy craft beer are hipsters and yuptards, so I probably shouldn’t even be participating in this dialogue.
Cheaper? Riiiiiight. “Session beer” is hipster slang for 3.2 with “character” brewed by “artisans.” With a pedigree like that, you can count on $15 a six … or maybe even a four.
The smug way in which they completely ignore the Polish influence in Greenpoint is done with the total attitude that ‘they are on the way out as we come in, and they are not quirky and zany, so they are not even worth mentioning’. It’s almost like the Polish community are nothing more than speed bumps to these invading gentrifyers. It’s pretty fucking sickening.
I am a hipster! I think Brooklyn should be preserved with all it’s unique traits. Everything is being made in the same manner in this way. The polish need to be respected. I think NYC should have nature reserves to preserve the culture that exists here. The Polish could live there. I don’t like how words are used to say things. I measure the mass of my farts in bottles.
hey man! what about reserves for the black folks and the indians. hey you guys hear about that fucking casino they building in mccarren park?! It’s gonna be cool.
Obvious sock puppet is obvious. Get lost hiptard. Most people here are ignoring you because they know what you are. I thought I tell you that just in case you got the false idea that you’re actually succeeding at your task (yes, you hiptards are that stupid to mistake failure for success).
Yeah, get lost idiot. If you were a real man people would actually pay attention to you. We know you are just some hiptarded freakazoid loser! If I ever see you in real life you’d be fucking done for man. I don’t take kindly to funny business around my way… so watch your fucking back.
They don’t call you hiptards “try hards” for nothing. You’d offer to suck my dick in person just to avoid the POSSIBILITY of a beating. Hipturds = transparent.
You take everything kindly you sissy ass. I’d skullfuck you pansey ass to death and rape your mother in front of you before hand
the rape jokes are gross.
So is your mom.
Anyone else notice that the sock-puppet army gets especially active whenever hipsters are (rightly) accused of being bigots?
Of course. To say hipsters are predictable is an understatement in the extreme.
Of course. Most hipsters are the biggest racist, xenophobic pieces of shit around. Their clost racism and deluded belief that they aren’t bigots is what makes it somewhat worse than regular old up-front racism.
* closet racism, not clost
That’s the thing that gets me. I don’t know how someone can claim to “embrace diversity” or whatever when they have never grew up or even interacted with other minority groups in their lives (not just ethnic groups either) and therefore realized that they’re not some exotic zoo exhibit and have lives of their own just like anyone else. Dare I say it: IT’S IMPOSSIBLE. I mean really, I do not exist just so some self-absorbed privileged random can co-opt my home and culture.
yeah… it’s like when you say something true about people they get defensive! it’s very indicative of the hipster mentality… these fucking rich midwestern racists! hey, lets stage a fake “underground” music festival then fire bomb it. i think we can get these idiots out of here if we give em a good scare!
It’s so pathetic. Hipsters have to use these sock puppet tactics to demean the Polish people and strip them of everything that their neighborhood stands for! Look, lets raise a militia to get these idiots the fuck outta here. We can return New York to the way it once was! Contact me at my website!
Oh, and what would that website be, Caleb? DieDieHipster.com? Go fuck your mother you jizz-sipping piece of shit!! If you don’t like this site, stay the fuck away from it and go crawl back up your mommy’s twat.
HipsterHate, Scroll over his name and you will see his site.
Of course, not even a brief mention of the history of Greenpoint and the most famous Greenpoint move line ever:
Johnny Friendly to Skins (?): ”You come from Greenpoint, you go back to Greenpoint. You don’t work here no more.”
Since I’m sort of channeling Kurtz as well:
“We must kill them. We must incinerate them. Pig after pig… cow after cow… village after village… army after army…”

It’s organic, sustainable, AND artisinal!
What’s up with this trend I’ve been seeing everywhere, guys wearing their pants rolled up a couple inches to show some leg, or wearing pants that end midcalf, like chicks do.
In either case, it looks real pussified.
I believe it has to do with the bike gears, so they don’t get their painted on pansy jeans dirty or some shit.
Makes sense. I used to get chain oil all over my pants too. Then I went to High School and got a job.
I’ve seen that kind of thing around London, though hipsters are not even on bicycles.
too lazy to unfold it, it is the carefree nature of the hiptser species.They want you to see they are green and ride a bike even if they walked somewhere.
I remember the days when dudes didn’t even bother to wear their jeans right, leaving their pants hanging on their butt and you could clearly see their underwear like they were a bunch of fags wanting to get surprise buttsex. Ah, good times.
I wiped out a couple times as a kid when the pant cuff caught up in the gears. So I rolled them up. I just had the decency to roll them down when I got off the bike. Not these clowns.
We called them flood pants, and made fun of guys who wore them.
Yep. Or High Waters.
I remember that vividly in grade school and Jr. high. Rocking a pair of “floods” would get you brutally clowned.
You know, I recently read how these shitasses have invaded Montauk and it’s reaching a tipping point. It’s demoralizing. What stops somebody from punching that asshole who practices his offensive “art” of acting like an imbecile on the subway? Or simply pissing on that attention-seeking, cheesegrater-playing “artist”? If they are so innovative, so fearless, so bohemian, so “cutting edge” as to carry on their moronic “expression” in public, then pissing on one and punching the other is just that much more cutting edge. These assholes–one would think–would appreciate that. “Hey. look at me! I just got pissed on!” Real street-cred.
Give it to them, I say. It’s what they want.
Look Tom, I say us normal folk start shitting on these fuckers… Let em see what that we don’t like their style! We don’t like any kinda funny business around these parts! Next time you see one of these bastards playing ukulele in the subway… take your pants and take a dump on them. Ha! That will teach em! Even better… you could take out your penis (or pussy) and brandish it in their faces! That’s a sight they are not soon to forget! I can’t believe they invaded Montauk! It must be a fucking shit show over there! Jesus christ… we have to do something… this shit is out of fucking hand… RISE UP! LETS DO THIS!
Anybody else hear that squeaking sound? Must be a rat…
Yep. The squeak is more like a nasal “honk” common to our least favorite subspecies.
I just got back from vacation with the family and am glad to see the Hipster hate still flowing. I have had to go great lengths and distances to enjoy the beach this summer since the Hiptards are taking over what little bit of solace I get for the mere 2 weeks i bust my ass for every year or the days I can sit on the beach in peace before I work until the wee hours of the AM . Rockaway , Riis Tilden, Coney and now Montauk are all blghted but I still have the Cabana Clubs and the Southern Jersey Shore. My latest venture took me way down South where I “thought” I may have spotted a freak or 2 until I realized they were just good old boys. I’m now back in Brooklyn and back to reality because that’s what you do as an adult. I have to go catch up on what I missed on the site while I was gone on my downtime tonight minus the trolls of course : )
Seriously these hipsters need to go back to Tabernacle Iowa.
Dupek hipsters.
I avoid the hipster food carts and have my pierogies and golumpki at a food cart here in Portland – how could they miss actual ethnic food in the middle of Brooklyn?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go%C5%82%C4%85bki
Simple. These girl-pant-wearing attention seekers never notice it because they’re so caught up in themselves and the impression they make to others. The answer to your question is the essence of why I–and millions more–hate them. If you are a hipster and believe yourself to be some kind of unique performance artist, earn some credibility by lying down on the subway tracks in front of an on-coming car and making a REAL spectacle of yourself. You’ll get my attention, for sure.
Two of my favorite parts are the Brunch spot which is “Cell phone free, making it the ideal place to get some work done.” Supporting the annoying hipster trend of buying one cup of coffee as they bogart a paying customers seat for six hours with their laptop finishing their latest failed screenplay or scrolling though used artisinal wood furniture on Craigslist, as opposed to “getting some work done” at, oh I don’t know, an office maybe! Of course that would mean getting a job; the other gem was the lower alcohol beer, ideal for playing “multiple rounds of shuffleboard.” Yet another activity previously reserved for children and elderly cruise passengers, along with butterfly hunting and cardboard tube swordfights (ok just children do that one), that these prepetualyl adolescent, smelly, too cool for the room jackasses engage in while they drink as opposed to doing the two actvities that a bar should only be used for, getting drunk and trying to get laid, and if it’s a local dive, darts and shooting pool.
These fedora-donned turds don’t really DRINK; real Brooklynites can drink. If those dopes even tried to drink, they’d be puking their pussified guts up in an alley. The Beats–those motherfuckers could drink!
I have a suspicion, and it’s just one of them, that hipsters are the ultimate cynics about the future. They do not, for the most part, believe in it. Sure, you get a few who went to college, got the good job, doing the whole deal. But there’s a greater majority who keep playing because they feel The End is Near. The game was rigged, it was never rigged in the favor of the non-wealthy, it’s over, and by the time the rest of the pleebs figure it out, the bourgeois and uber wealthy will be long gone, sipping their martini’s on the back deck of their house in the South Pacific.
In fact, I’m borrowing the thoughts I’ve written and cobbled them together just to make this little point. Think about it…they’ve watched as their parents mutual funds or whatever went tits up, as houses by the hundreds of thousands were lost and cars turned back in, as job opp’s have receeded….how ‘true’ any of it is or isn’t is slightly beside the point, because if you get the majority of your news fixes online or from other people who are scared….well? Some even talk revolution…
…others say that’s not possible because of our army…lol…they forget that one warble brained idiot with a sniper rifle held D.C., one of THE most heavily secured cities anywhere, hostage for over a week….so this formula: uselessness + hopelessness + fear + panic equals either apathy or revolution….which might explain the ron paul hipsters vs the obama hipsters…..
..are there romney hipsters? would they wear magic underpants?
The POS hipsters are like the big box stores to the mom and pop. They are all cookie cuter from the same ilk and look to stamp out any ingenuity. There are still some great NATIVE joints that refuse to die even with the hipster assault. Take Defontes in Red hook. By far the best sandwiches in Brooklyn. I’ve been going their for 20+ years and its still the best.
So incredible!…I especially loved “Gilligan-shaped kazoo-voiced beta males”…I live in L.A., where the hipster quotient is RIDICULOUSLY high in Silver Lake…So I get ya…Am following you now, and can’t wait for more Hipster Hate to come freshly “imported carved-off-the-wheel” to my inbox!
Shouldn’t they be really be called “Polish – Americans”?
Like yah, doesn’t get you all wasted and all.
Below is classic say-nothing hipster drivel about something as basic as an ice cream shop. You know, that complicated food consisting of cream, sugar and flavorings:
“The innovative ice cream flavors are created with rare, tasty ingredients like hand-picked Bronte pistachios from Sicily and organic Oregon peppermint. Even the vanilla ice cream is carefully made with organic beans from Papua New Guineathat have been soaked in oak barrels for several months.”
I want to make a hipster bite the curb and stomp on his head and make his girlfriend watch every time i read that pathetic line about their faggot ass ice cream.
You wouldn’t happen to be trying to say things on this site that will get it shut down by word press, now would you?
I recall some swella-fella pouting on here not too long ago that words were hurting his feelings and slandering us here as being violent people and how he was going to get the site shut down just as fast as his daddy could make that happen.
Well? Are you he?
I’m wondering if these sock puppet trolls are with the NYPD, DHS, or USAR, trying to stir things up. It’s been done before…
Yep, it’s one of the oldest tricks in the book.
I doubt it, but I fully expect that they’re making screencaps of everything here and then sending it to the police and DHS, crying “See? They’re THREATENING ME!” I suspect the idea is to get someone in law enforcement who says something other than “Tell it to the Marines” to demand that DH release IP address information on the horrible, teddible sockpuppets they created. In the long run, you’ll find that all of these ridiculous postings (always from people who disappear in a week when they discover that we aren’t taking the bait) are either from library computers or from some idiot with an eight-year-old’s understanding of spoofing, all made in the hope of scaring DH into shutting down the site. Oh, how pissed are they going to be when they discover how many cops read the site and laugh their heads off…
I’ve looked at his posts and he’s been getting more and more over the top — in other words unimaginatively “trying too hard”. Its as if he’s try to act like what the average hipster *thinks* most of us are.
You’re absolutely right about this twit trying too hard. After all, it’s just like back home in Dogfelcher Falls: if nobody paid attention to him before, it’s a matter of escalating things until someone does. If throwing a tantrum in the middle of the living room when company came over didn’t do the job, then shitting on the dining room table during Thanksgiving dinner will. And since Mommy and Daddy believed in ignoring the tantrums rather than burying the twit alive in an unmarked grave, it has to work the same way in real life, right?
The website is even more infuriating. Their line of innovative flavors includes such bold choices as strawberry, mint, chocolate, coffee, ginger, and pistachio. Things that other people have been doing for decades, but they were uneducated plebes, not true artisans.
They’re the Mast Brothers of ice cream.
A few weeks ago, I read a review of several new hot, hip, and trendy ice cream recipe books. When I was a kid, I used to joke about making venison sorbet, just as the idea of something so disgusting that no rational being would ever even taste it. Reading the recipes on these books made me ask if there’s some ice cream equivalent of Rule 34, and that these ice cream savants were masturbating to the idea of making something even worse.
That is too many damn words just to say so little.
3% ABV beer? They’re advertising that as a good thing?
I’m going to visit some of my cousins in NYC (transplants as well, but they were political refugees from SE Asia LOL) and after reading about all this hipster nonsense, I’m determined to support as many of these REAL local businesses as my 2 weeks there will allow.
Please do. Get a plain slice of pizza, no truffles needed. Try a corned beef or pastrami on rye. It wasn’t raised on a cruelty-free farm – animals were raised to be killed and you can TASTE THE JUICY FEAR in every bite! Have a beer that tastes good, not one that matches your ironic outfit. Take the train wherever you want to go, just don’t bring your kazoo band along because everyone else is not interested in your horrible “music.”
In other words, act like a regular visitor to NY would.
The hipsters in Greenpoint are painfully obnoxious.
On another note
Personally i pay more to drink organic labeled coffee over a $1 cup from a bodega. I dont fuck around when it comes to coffee. Coffee growing nations dont fuck around when it comes to coffee. I also like healthy food. My guess is that 100 years ago the food in NYC was 1,000 times better then it is today.
Fast food causes health problems in anybody who eats it and the way Americans have been brainwashed about nutrition today is a step above obsurd…
Anyways, i quit drinking coffee because i always go ape shit at the pansy ass hipster baristas. It became a problem. I cant stand their black glasses and basically everything about them AND their try hard coffee shops.
I try not be in the same room.
My last rant of the day is about the fancy pants fusion overpriced hipster foods. Theyre just being obnoxious so that people notice how annoying they are. Gourmet food can be really good and as i get older i definstely respect quality foods. But these hipsters are just bastardizing healthy choices, they are on the perifery.
WOW, Johns Deli! Did you go to Dewey High school? I did, and I remember thanking god when it opened. Not having to go to the aptly named “smelly deli” down the block.
” Now if you are a pretentious, wanna-be foodie hipster piece of shit, you will need to told the sandwich comes on artisan bread with cured, Appalachian forest maple wood smoked ham, imported carved-off-the-wheel cage-free goat’s milk swiss, locally sourced rooftop arugula and smeared with specialty hand-crafted bacon and pomegranate infused mayonnaise.”
And DH, don’t forget ‘on baguette’ said with a phoney French accent… that drives me up a wall.
There is hope. Just got back from the Joan Jett and the Blackhearts concert (free) at Coney Island. Great Brooklyn crowd (99% Hipster free). And Joan Jett, at 54 so fucking hot, so fucking great. Hey Super Bowl, there’s your next act.
History repeats itself. I am hoping in the case of Greenpoint i watch them move in and move out quickly now and soon they will not be able to afford there apartment here and move elswhere. Its the people after them moving in now. I cant imagine what is next as I watch my neighborhood turn into every other place in NYC where no one knows your name and no one cares. I think saying hi to people you know on the Avenue” Yes the Avenue that is what we have called it my whole life.
Not any special reason no thought behind it just the Avenue and on the Avenue you could get all your favorites and see your friends pass your church stop in and check out the latest at Dee and Dees Hey you never know!
Soon we will talk about how great it was here and how did we let this happen. Well it happened I walk down the Avenue and I know not a soul. I pass my church and I dont know anyone there aswell. I guess rip to the Avenue it was a great place.8-(
I know how you feel. I really miss walking down to Bedford Avenue and saying hello to the shopkeepers and my neighbors, standing around and shooting the breeze. Now you get mowed down by large herds [they always travel in numbers] of fizzy-headed electronics addicts a.k.a hipster tryhards. I’ve never seen a more lost populace of fools.
The city of Melbourne in Australia is quickly turning into a hipster-infested, coffee-snobs, pretentious foodies and geeky-tryhards city
I walked into a cafe yesterday just wanting to grab a sandwich for lunch, after seeing the $13.50 price, I had to walk a way. Someone actually put up the a review here:

Pretty much every cafe that claims that their coffees are “ethical” sells a “single-origin country-name fairtrade rainforest organic coffee” sells a black coffee (no milk!!!) for $5.50.
