Kimberlyn Supermarket, 785 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY

"Chicken legs with thing? What thing?"
"You know, the thing."
"No, what thing is that?"
"The leg thing."
"Oh, you mean 'chicken legs with thigh'!"
"Yeah, the thigh thing."

Oh, and also on sale are beef chuck steacks.

Cafe Capri Coffee Shop, 427 Graham Avenue, Brooklyn, NY

Granted, you have to express yourself. However, it's not expresso, but espresso.

Flier posted on pole at corner of Meeker Avenue and Apollo Street, Brooklyn, NY

The event described sounds like a lively one. Just one small error: They omitted the second i from "admission."

Prime Food Processing Corp., 33 Roebling Street, Brooklyn, NY

Even I was confused about the spelling of this word until I looked it up in an online dictionary . It should read "graffiti" - with two fs and only one t, not the other way around.

The Red Setter, 49-04 69th Street, Woodside, NY

It's an easy one to misspell, since the name "Calvary" sounds very similar to the word "cavalry." By the way, everything else checks out O.K., including "karaoke," "commemoration," and "cemetery." Kudos overall.

Song Fish Market, 92-10 Jamaica Avenue, Woodhaven, NY

Since this is a seafood store, I presume that "saldine" is supposed to be "sardine," and not another possibility, "saltine." You never know.

86 St. D & P Deli & Grocery, 86-04 Jamaica Avenue, Woodhaven, NY

They squeezed in a tiny s at the end of "stmps." Now all they have to do is insert an a between the t and the m. It looks doable to me.

Woodhaven Deli, 85-01 Jamaica Avenue, Woodhaven, NY

"Mozzarella" is getting to be quite the misspelled word, right up there with "sandwich," but not as bad as "cigarette."

Eileen Ice Cream Corp., 75-14 Jamaica Avenue, Woodhaven, NY

Chipwick - it sounds like a quaint little town in England. (Correction: The brand name of this ice cream treat is spelled "Chipwich.")

C-Town, 74-39 Jamaica Avenue, Woodhaven, NY

You can purchase some floral arrangements from their floral deparment and put them in your aparment. Just a suggestion.
