Brooklyn Tweets of the Week: Menacing brunch spots and a child named Roebling
A roundup of (some of) our favorite locally sourced tweets for the week ending October 1
This past week you all were pondering why East Williamsburg’s brunch spots are so aggressively named. You also admired the new Michael K. Williams mural in Fort Greene, and debated what the most-Brooklyn names are (Roebling Brooklyn Pierpoint III does have a great ring to it).
If you see something, say something: Be sure to tag us if you see anything that should be noted next week. Have a great weekend!

the bathroom attendant at the greenpoint terminal market sent me to the mens to use the toilet and the women’s to wash my hands for some reason but perhaps that reason was nonbinary allyship

You: “Never have I ever experienced my first kiss with a parrot at Busch Gardens Williamsburg during an exotic bird show.”
Me: [use my left hand to rub my upper lip like I have an itch while I covertly use my right hand to take a sip of my beer & hope to god no one notices]

Subway conductor just announced “I don’t know who you’re giving the middle finger to but keep that same energy when we get to Flatbush”, and now I am obviously going to have to ride all the way down to Flatbush.
