No, it’s not a sofa. But, it’s from Red Hook and it’s certainly loung(ing)-worthy. Also, we like the collection of crap on it.

Street Couch Series: Former Union Street Luxury

At first, when our Carroll Gardens Correspondent sent this image, we thought yesterday’s Union Street Gowanus Luxury sofa had been attacked. Then, we compared the sofas and found that this another remarkably similar one that is also on Union Street. This is a Carroll Gardens model rather than a Gowanus [...]

We return to our street couch series with a contribution from Heather-D to our GL Photo Photo pool that almost rendered us speechless with its magnificence and by virtue of its location. It comes from Union Street in Gowanus and all it needs is a side table and a Tiffany [...]

There is very little that one can add to the photo of this chair, which we came across on Third Avenue in Gowanus. It is regal with its leopard print upholstery.

Street Couch Series: Five Star Car Edition
June 8th, 2008 · No Comments
This street seating comes to us via the proprietress of Erica’s Blog, who writes that it’s outside of a car service near Coney Island Avenue and Cortelyou Road:
The inside, you should know, is unlike any car service place i’ve ever been in…you gotta walk deep, deep, deep inside the place before you get to the [...]

This street sofa, dropped into our GL Photo Pool by lornagrl, looks like the kind of couch that one would expect to find on Sea Breeze Avenue, if not a condo in Brighton Beach or Coney Island.

Street Couch Series: Under the BQE
May 14th, 2008 · No Comments
We have a hard time believing that a couch as perfect as this wasn’t placed beneath the BQE deliberately as a kind of street art statement, but there’s always a chance that it was dumped there. In any case, it comes to us via the camera of Miss Heather who has a knack for finding [...]

Street Couch Series: Union & Metropolitan Classic
May 12th, 2008 · No Comments
This was a very popular sofa yesterday, at least, given its rather central location next to Macri Park at Union and Metropolitan Avenues in Williamsburg. We shot a photo of it overturned around 11AM, then got another photo of it upside down in mid-afternoon. Yesterday evening, however, this photo arrived. The sofa was upright again [...]

This is a very nice chair that Miss Heather located for us on Richardson Street next to a restaurant in the making called Frankie’s, which has been “opening soon” for the last six months. And so, she called it “Frankie’s Blue Chair.” It certainly looks like the kind of seat that one might want to [...]
