Dear Rivet: We get it. You are working hard at selling us on Drab Chic -- or as I've been known to call it, "Frumpspensive" -- but come on! Pairing a yellow shirt with brown pants? Is it possible to think of anything but pee and poop looking at that outfit?

When a friend told me that she'd seen a big fat "C" in the window of Two Boots, I confess, my heart sank a little bit. I know, I know, it's super-corny, but seriously, Two Boots was one of the first restaurants I went to when I moved into the neighborhood 17 years ago. I still have the CD of a band we saw there one night -- The Haoles, who we later hired to play at my husband's 30th birthday party, which we celebrated at...wait for it...Two Boots. And then, like all dutiful breeders in Park Slope, we went there with our kids on the regular, from the time they were born. There's nowhere else around here that serves mac n' cheese with trees! For a few years, it was a tradition to go there for dinner the night before school started.

If you didn't see it, yesterday, BRIC finally announced the lineup for this summer's Celebrate Brooklyn series in the Bandshell. I say "finally" not because I'm inpatient and spoiled for free entertainment in this city…wait, yes I am. Anyway, I've been forecasting the arrival of summer on Whassup for some time now -- because winter is a dreadful, slow death that saps my will to live. Also, free music! But I think, for Park Slopers, nothing signals summer quite like the Celebrate Brooklyn series. At least, for me, nothing does. So, go ahead and plan your pretentious Brooklyn picnics outside the gates. Welcome to Whassup: Celebrating Brooklyn Edition:

Credits: Brownstoner/McDonald's ad/ StockI felt incredibly torn when I saw the headline that read “Park Slope McDonald’s site up for grabs.” My brain flashed through images ranging from my first Happy Meal to a greasy Quarter Pounder that made me want to puke. Then I realized they were just talking about the wannabe Park Slope McDonald’s on 4th Ave and 1st Street. Everyone knows there’s only one real Park Slope McD’s and it’s on 9th Street just off 5th Ave.

Photo credit: Park Slope StoopDid you commute from the 4th Avenue and Union Street subway this morning? Park Slope Stoop got some great photos of the flooding caused by the intense downpour that brought two inches of water down in a very short period of time. Root Hill Cafe tweeted a shot of the water coming up to their door. How soaked did you get on the way to work?
