Tweets of the Week: Getting a little awkward in Gowanus
Plus, "the Bushwick rats throw the best parties" and East New York passing as a moor on a British isle ... and more
Every week we try to read the entire internet so you don’t have to. Here in our semi-regular round up, we curate (some of) our favorite tweets from the previous seven days.
These are locally sourced, organically grown, free range nuggets of wisdom and/or jest for the week ending October 21.

One of my favorite things in NYC is see old Catholic Churches founded by different immigrant groups. This is Our Lady of Czestochowa, a church in Sunset Park founded by Polish immigrants in the late 19th century . pic.twitter.com/IGnWHZIBas

I’m in a beanie and deadlifting at a gym in Park Slope while listening to Melissa Etheridge. The dyke energy is incalculable.

I am temporarily staying in Park Slope and realized I can just go to Prospect Park all the time, which is especially great when you have a dog

I was e-biking over the Williamsburg bridge the other day when someone zoomed by me on a regular bike. As they did this they looked back at me and said, “real bikes are more fun”. Now I know how to answer the “what’s the most embarrassing thing that’s happened to you?” question

I think it’s good, normal and healthy that after chatting with an elderly woman for approximately two minutes on her stoop, the thought crossed my mind “I wonder if we can become close so she’ll leave her Cobble Hill brownstone to me in her will.”

The first modern loop coaster debuted at Coney Island in 1901, and made more money from charging to watch idiots ride than it did off of the idiots themselves.
