A very cool GL reader sent us this photo for our Street Couch series that is actually a shot of an entire living room set. It comes from Fifth Avenue in Park Slope and it is one of our favorites ever.

This street sofa is from Troutman Street in Bushwick and it comes via the busy camera of our Greenpoint Correspondent, who titled it a “Fubar Couch.” Indeed, it is monstrously fucked up beyond all hope. Miss Heather, who has photographed many street couches, offers a bit of analysis as well: Each neighborhood I visit has […]

As street sofas go, the one that our Greenpoint Correspondent photographed over the weekend on Roebling Street is quite nice. One can easily picture people hanging out on it and watching TV.

Street Couch Series: Bed-Stuy Blues

This specimen is from Marcus Garvey Boulevard in Bed-Stuy. It was a blue print and probably served someone well before its service came to an end like this. It comes from the digital camera of our wide-ranging Greenpoint Correspondent, who covers an incredible amount of territory.
