This is kind of an odd tour, but here it is. There are several of these videos showcasing the everyday shops in and around our area. I don’t know about you, but I like shouting at the screen when I see places I know on T.V. or the internet.
Take a look at places you probably see every single day.
The following is a holiday greeting paid for by Friends of Marty Golden.

Have an easy and meaningful fast this Yom Kippur and G’mar Hatimah Tovah, which means “may you be inscribed (in the Book of Life) for good.”

Happy Labor Day from us at the Bean! Enjoy your day off, hardworking Americans.
As for this lowly blogger, there is not much rest to be had. Now, who wants to shoot el jefe a letter condemning this unfortunate day of actual labor?
The above photo, courtesy of David Tan, shows foot-tapping commuters waiting for the next Coney Island bound D Train on the elevated platform of the 62nd Street Station.
It was taken on August 13, 2011, using a Canon A-1 armed with Kodak Ultra Max 400 film.
This week’s image comes courtesy of reader Soo Koon Lee, who writes that “the dissonance of this photo is pretty funny.”
Here at Bensonhurst Bean, we were quite shocked to learn that in these tough economic times, even the famous chef character seen on pizza boxes has to moonlight in order to make ends meet.
Lee caught up with the hardworking cuisinier, whose likeness was gracing a sign outside of local restaurant Istanbul [2202 86th St], slicing up delicious döner kebabs to appease the hungry lunchtime crowds.

The above photo wasn’t taken in Manhattan or Brownstone Brooklyn.
It was taken right here on Cropsey Avenue and Bay 22nd Street. This image proves that there are plenty of gorgeous, neglected old buildings and hand painted signs in Southern Brooklyn just waiting for someone’s tender loving care to restore them to their former glory.
With this beautiful shot, photographer David Tan goes digital, and yet still manages to achieve his trademark muted colors.
David captured this classic street scene using a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS 48mm,
f/5.6 at 1/125s, ISO 100.
The above photo – which was taken alongside the Belt Parkway – comes courtesy of the very talented David Tan, who used a Konica Autoreflex T3 with Kodak Gold 200 film.
