Street Couch Series: Bushwick Couchfest

They’re not street couches per se in the sense of being discarded or put out on the sidewalk to sit on, but they’re definitely the Street Couches of 2015 through 2050, depending. Miss Heather captured this glimpse of the Street Couches of the future on McKibben Street in Bushwick.

Street Couch Series: Bushwick Seating

Well, this is probably more “street seating” than a street couch and it’s in much better shape than some of the sofas we’ve featured. In any case, it’s from Sudyam Street in Bushwick and comes from our traveling correspondent, Miss Heather.

Street Couch Series: Locked Up in Bushwick

These Bushwick sofas were are outside, but not quite on the street, come from Jefferson Street. They are from our Roving Correspondent, Miss Heather.

GL Street Couch Series: Iced & Trashed in Bushwick

This once comfy armchair got some snow on Friday and has since gotten some trashed tossed on top. It comes from Eldert Street in Bushwick and is, of course, from the roaming camera of Miss Heather.

Say What–Curvy in Bushwick

This battered bit of signage come from Dodworth and Broadway in Bushwick via the roving camera of Miss Heather. We’re not sure what we like more–the sign or the street lamp around which it is wrapped.

Say What–Bent in Bushwick

This messed up signage comes from Dodworth and Broadway in Bushwick, where there are many battered signs. It comes via our Greenpoint Correspondent, aka Miss Heather.

Street Couch Series: Out Back

Our Greenpoint Correspondent calls this image “Algonquin Rountable Meets Fred T. Sanford.” It come from Bushwick.

Say What–Curvy One Way

It comes from Starr Street in Bushwick and this One Way sign has got some serious curves. It comes to us courtesy of our Greenpoint Correspondent, who knows a good sign when she sees one and who spots them everywhere.

Street Couch Series: Seriously Fubar

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 its own “type” of street couch. Bed-Stuy’s are the most stylish, Williamsburg lists between circa 1970-80 hand-me-downs and modernist chic. When it comes to royally fucked up couches, however, Greenpoint holds the title. But Bushwick is a close second.

Street Couchology–or shall we say Sofalogy–is born.
