GREENPOINT — After years of struggling to get the neighborhood's homeless off the streets and out of McCarren and McGolrick parks, advocates have finally found a solution — a shelter that will. The plan, which rivals the ambition and scope of the creation of Battery Park City, would rezone a 175-block area of Greenpoint and Williamsburg, two neighborhoods that have surged in popularity.

When you’re on Tinder just looking to score a one night stand, sorting through all the saps in search of true love (or at least a first date) can be a royal pain. How is anyone supposed to get straight to it when everyone’s being ambiguous, trying to chat and whatnot?
Tinder’s X-rated brother, the adult-oriented hookup app Mixxxer, launched last week to help combat this problem and help users find nearby hookups without the hassle.
“People don’t know when they’re using Tinder if you’re using it to hook up or if you’re using it to find a date,” the app’s maker, Michael Manes, told The Daily Dot. “Our idea was to create something with a much clearer purpose, where you’re looking for one thing and one thing only.”
Like Tinder, the app uses your GPS location to offer you matches. Besides the fact that everyone is DTF, the major difference is that Mixxxer doesn’t sync with your Facebook profile, allowing you to upload any photos. We’re obviously talking about the sans clothing kind.
There’s also a valuable feature for those who want to post nudes but aren’t willing to put it all out there — the shower door, which enables you to sorta-kinda blur out your face or body.
If you’re somehow still questioning the purpose of this app, check out its site. It’s littered with elegant one-liners that put it quite simply: “this is not a dating app”: “join for free and get laid tonight!”; and “find horny locals wherever you are at any time.”
Although the app is littered with X-rated content, Mr. Manes told The Daily Dot he doesn’t want it to get labeled as a porn app. Inevitably though, the app being touted as “X-rated Tinder” has been banned from both the Apple and Google app stores. It currently isn’t available for download and can only be accessed as a mobile web app.
Another app, another XXX day in #tech.

Neighborhood Fun Facts
City Hookup Near Greenpoint Brooklyn
- Originally farmland, Greenpoint’s streets such as Calyer and Meserole derive from farm owners’ last names!
- Before Greenpoint was known for artsy lofts and hipsters, the neighborhood was mainly Polish, which is why many New Yorkers head there to enjoy Polish cuisine!
- Greenpoint begun to change when entrepreneur Neziah Bliss married into the prominant Meserole family in the 1830s, and later established regular ferry service to Manhattan from Greenpoint around 1850, which is one of many changes that allowed for Greenpoint to become part of the City of Brooklyn in 1855.
