We’re going to start a new feature for the next few weeks highlighting some of the great Brooklyn blogs that we like and read. We’re going to mix things up, by topic and by neighborhood. Given that there are so many good blogs in our borough, even if we do one a day for the next month we, we’ll only skim the surface. If anything, we are going to err on the side of featuring blogs that a bit less widely known with apologies in advance to our friends at Brownstoner and other prominent Brooklyn blogs. Like we said, however, we’ll mix it up and, hopefully, when all is said and done, you’ll be left with more “I didn’t know about that one, it’s pretty cool” than “I’ve been reading that every day for two years.”

Our inaugural blog is Brooklynometry, which started up in July and looks like it’s going strong with daily posts. The product is electic, with a lot of posts revolving around doings on Prospect Park Southwest. The entry that appears in the screen cap below, for instance, is about the local cafe Lonelyville:

Like all the bees that are harvesting from the well-tended and gracefully arranged plants which include beebalm, cone flowers, hostas, hibiscus, hydrangea, impatiens…..and many more. Lonelyville, on PPSW near Vanderbilt, faces Prospect Park, and you can sit in front in an Adirondack chair and let your dog drink from the water bowl at your feet. What can I say? It’s a gift to the neighborhood.

Check it out.
