Last night, HBO premiered its depraved comedy about life in New York’s outer boroughs, Girls – a show as insidious and hotly anticipated as a sexually transmitted disease. Think: Sex and the City for ugly people with a fat chick named Hannah (played by the show’s writer and director, [Keira Knightley]). New York Post.

Everything men hate about the show Girls I mostly hate, too. The complexities of young women trying to find their voice, who they are, and their intertwined friendships — blah, blah, ugh, give me a tampon and a pineapple drink in a martini glass. Esquire.

[There are] five separate instances of [Keira Knightley's] breasts in one episode. Five… seriously, pack the breasts in. Seriously. Collider.

We love the show, but this is too much. From Craigslist via Jezebel:

Ever feel like life in the big frantic city is just too much? Are you a twenty-something young woman seeking fame, fortune, love or even a hookup with potential? How do you get from here to there when you can’t even get a seat on the L train! Come to a casting call with our Emmy-winning production company and tell us your dreams and woes, your highs and lows, your tales of *** in the city and the outrageous opportunities that have come your way. Is your circle of friends bound together by not just the parties, fights, and brunches but frequent bouts of commiserating over your struggles? It isn’t easy taking the road less travelled, but making it as a writer, designer, entrepreneur, actress/model or glorified dog walker never is!

The real life television show we are making follows the trials and tribulations of an ensemble of wise-beyond-their-years young ladies. We are with you living the dream in hipster Brooklyn and lower Manhattan. Only well educated and cultured extroverts need apply. Are you thinking about that show—”Girls?” Well we didn’t say it but. . ..now that you mention it.

First, Buscemi nearly blows up Commercial Street. Now, we spotted this on the corner of Manhattan and India:

@wnyc – Don’t forget about Cafe Grumpy and pretty much ALL of northern Greenpoint.

From WNYC

Help us map out where to find the “Girls” in the city by sending in a spot you’ve seen in the series. We also want to map out places where episodes are being shot. Just send an email that includes the hang-out and the episode it was in to girlsmapped@wnyc.org.

We’ve been pretty quiet about HBO’s much buzzed about new show Girls because, well, every single other blog has written endlessly about it. But the show’s protagonists live in Greenpoint and today the gang is at Café Grumpy on Meserole filming for the second season.

The café appeared in the most recent episode of the show as Ray’s place of work.
