WHO GIVES A SHIT: Al Di La Garbage?

Most of us are very familiar with Al Di La as *the* spot in town to get a pretty kickass, delish Italian meal. But FIPS reader J. doesn't really give a shit about that anymore. Cause mostly she's just sick and tired of all the disgusting Al di La garbage that's rotting on the street every morn.

Check it:

"I just got a dog and this opened a portal to different parallel universe in Park Slope. It's like it was there the whole time and somehow I never saw it. It's glorious, really! If you've never been to off-leash hours in PP on a weekend morning, just go. Even if you don't have a dog- it's not as creepy as taking a call on your cell at a park, and than realizing your smoke is blowing into the area where the slides are.

Anyway, I am also now hyper aware of the nasty side of dog- owning in the 11215 and the fact that my neighbors are overflowing with unsolicited advice about what he should eat, what play group he should attend, and what vet is really the best. While I know I sound like a mean asshole, it's because the helpful advice listed above comes on the heals of the not so nice, I wanna punch everybody in the face, running commentary about how I walk my dog and where he pees and the rights of sidewalk grass to thrive, etc...

My point being, you just start to notice things differently when you add a dog to your situation in Park Slope. The item that gets me the angriest however is the fact that a certain hot shit Northern Italian restaurant on my block is has essentially turned into a rotting trash buffet that I have to pull my dog from every morning and evening. They'll blame it on the trash collectors if you ask them but why is it that the outside corner of Al Di La looks like London circa 1870. As if soup waste is tossed out the window on a nightly basis, the corner sidewalk is covered in a slimy slick of rotting food and bones. I noticed is before the puppy came but have a new perspective on the sidewalks in the slope. How they have not been fined or cited or whatever it is that occurs when restaurants throw trash out on the STREET! WTF!

That is crazy, right?"

Ok, in all fairness, I have no effin clue if this is genuinely an Al di La problem or if every restaurant everywhere in NYC deals with the same shit? So what do you btchz say? Is Al di La really disgustingly slobby, or is this just par for the course for living on a street with a restaurant?
