[Photo courtesy of Miss Heather] Our friend Miss Heather, who is among other things, the Queen of the Street Couch, captured this beauty on Green Street (and there are more to come this week).

In any case, what’s interesting is the where the couch was located: at Raccuglia’s funeral home at Sackett & Court Streets in Carroll Gardens, making it our first funeral couch.
