Tweets of the week: Upsetting viral sandwiches … and Pete Davidson!

By Brooklyn Magazine

Every week we here at Brooklyn Magazine read the entire internet in order to curate (some of) our favorite tweets from the previous seven days. These are locally sourced, hand-crafted, organically grown, free range nuggets of wisdom and jest.

This week: Pete Davidson hopes to store his new party ferry in the Gowanus; Zendaya and Tom Holland give off Bushwick vibes, and an awkward run-in with Steve Buscemi.

Plus, a viral TikTok feed from a bodega in Red Hook features some … interesting sandwiches, and a brilliantly punny storefront is spotted in Bed-Stuy. Our tweeters for the week ending January 28 also had some observations about local trash trends, and thoughts on why Park Slope is maybe the scariest place on earth.

Enjoy, have a great weekend—here are a few things for you to check out if you’re so inclined—and come back for more tweets next week!

“Right now, we’re going to dock it in, I think, Gowanus, and do a bunch of work on it,” Davidson answered.

One of my favorite TikTok accounts is this bodega in Red Hook that makes far and away the most repulsive sandwiches you’ve ever seen in your life showcased by the most incredibly stilted videos. It’s art and I love it pic.twitter.com/vJLJZ8NpTc

Rhone, 38, lives in Bushwick. Has two favorite vegan taco stands. Remembers when The Levee was called Kokie’s, and has left his debit card at Union Pool more than twice in his life.#Jeopardy pic.twitter.com/rra1wyLeaF

In Tarzian Hardware in Park Slope, I asked a guy if he worked there. He gave me a look, said “No,” and walked away.

In my defense, Steve Buscemi is the most-hardware-store-worker-looking guy ever to appear in a movie. https://t.co/vrXEiXgn7B

Online dating in NYC consists of swiping left on your soulmate because she lives in Washington Heights and you’re in Bushwick 😔

Walked by Beds Thai (on Bedford Ave in…Bed-Stuy) the other day and I’m soooo proud of them for that name. If it ever warms up in NYC I’m going back there to patronize this establishment. pic.twitter.com/Rt19T7Wdby

True representation would’ve been the green m&m spending the pandemic in flat shoes and then giving herself Achilles tendonitis the first time she hops back into her 4 inch heels and walks all over Greenpoint

I left Park Slope after witnessing a toddler have a complete meltdown (read: flipped his stroller) because the CT Muffin Co ran out of lemon poppyseed muffins. Went back to Greenpoint. It was safer. 😂

Received a pitch email today describing 2001 as “early Williamsburg days,” referring to a part of NYC that incorporated 200 years ago

Our neighborhood has to unite against the “bayridge” as one word people.

Good morning from @nycferry’s South Brooklyn route! ICYMI, Governors Island was added as a daily year-round stop between Red Hook & Sunset Park, expanding direct access for the LES & BK waterfront neighborhoods.

Ingersoll Houses in Fort Greene has been suffering from intermittent loss of heat in these frigid temperatures.

Thank you @NYCHA for getting the boiler working again this morning.

But the decades of disinvestment in public housing need to be addressed.

Beware of “Brooklyn Bakery Ronny.” He lovebombed me by taking me to the opera and showering me in affection even though I’m engaged to marry his brother Johnny. He has a wooden hand.
