Here’s our weeky restaurant feature from Eat It: The Brooklyn Food Blog, a great local food blog.

So, here’s our question: Who wants to live in a spot that is arguably one of the more gaping assholes of Brooklyn? Clearly the developers of this building whose official address is 235/237 Gold Street are betting there will be takers. (Or saying prayers there will be, at least, if the prices and/or rent are […]

We don’t print many of the press releases that come from the Borough President’s office as many are simply to self-serving and of little interest. Even this one, involves exhortations from local officials like Council Member David Yassky, whose recent vote on term limits we found both sleazy and morally corrupt. But we digress, this […]

This was the scene outside One Hanson Place last night between about 5PM and 6PM as angry workers and union members protested outside as residents of very expensive apartments were (presumably) returning home. The workers are outraged because the employees providing services to the (rather wealthy) residents are not unionized. They are being denied critical […]

(Today’s GL Analysis comes from contributor Vaduz Uvunt, who is a Red Hook resident and has a lot more meaningful things to say about her community than our own rantings ever could.) If you missed the What’s the Hook exhibition and a chance to view “Hole in the Fence,” then it was your loss. Fortunately, […]

As you can see from this photo (click to expand) the first-floor structural form work is in place, a marked advance from the way it looked in early September.

There were a lot of other signs in the window of this store on Duffield Street in Downtown Brooklyn that’s going out of business, but we found this one saying they’re selling down to the “bare walls” the most compelling of them. We know this kind of stuff happens all the time and that there […]

Someday, this will be the Indigo Hotel, the Duffield Street lodging designed by our favorite Brooklyn architect Karl Fischer, who thrills us by giving Downtown Brooklyn a Hot Karl.

Hey, it’s lunchtime, and we’ve already had a Brookyn-style pizza vid, so now it’s time for the real Brooklyn thing. Junior’s cheesecake porn. We couldn’t resist taking the cheesecake shots when we passed by the other day and damaging our Nikon with drool.

Luckily, no innocent bystanders were hurt by the collision of one car racing into two parked cars. With every bad situation, something good […]
