Lets face it, our lives in New York revolve around transportation. However it’s rare that we take a moment and really see the landscapes and scenery that are the foundation of our travels. Be it a ride to work or a trip to Brighton Beach, sometimes we forget that it’s all about the journey getting there. So, this week, […]

Here’s a sad excerpt from Lola Staar’s latest email. We like Lola and appreciate her unbridled–if sometimes over the top–enthusiasm for and boosterism of Coney Island. Once again, her outspokenness has led to a kick in the ass from Thor Equities. This was news on Christmas Eve. But this is the story in Lola’s own […]

Naturally, the great Park Slope Fresh Direct debate continues on Park Slope Parents, where our dear and valued friends are pleased to raise issue of import to the community at large.

We got this email from a reader a few days ago: “Rumor has it Catty Shack was closed down on New Years, and may remain closed.” Now, there’s an interesting discussion on Brooklynian about whether Park Slope’s fave lebsbian bar is doneski. One poster yesterday afternoon writes: ” I hear they got shut down for […]

Hall Street Self-Storage (at 12 Hall Street) opened as the country’s first green self-storage facility back in May 2008.

Borough President Marty Markowitz supports the reopening of the Brooklyn House of Detention, but is against the Jail with Retail expansion plan. (Well, he is for a Jail with Retail, but not for a bigger one.) In a statement he says: “It is my understanding that the DOC is within its right to reopen the […]

There have been dozens of post on Park Slope Parents over the last couple of days about how much to tip the dudes that deliver stuff for Fresh Direct. (It has sense degenerated into a classic PSP debate about whether FD is a Satanic scourge or a neighborhood God.) Most people talked about tipping a dollar […]

This is 218 N. 9 Street in Williamsburg, where demolition started months ago and then stopped abruptly. Since then, the fence has been more open than closed, allowing for all sorts of sordid activity not to mention being a threat to public safety. That shredded thing above is a city violation and we’re running this […]

Dear God. We began the day with a post about the disgraceful state of Coney Island and the staggering ineptitude of everyone at every level of the process to ensure that Coney Island remains viable in the short-term. So, if you want to hear the official version you can join the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce’s […]

We knew this crap had to be around, and we’ve certainly dealt with the topic of mommy and daddy bringing the little ones into the bar while they get shitfaced and whether this is appropriate. But we just couldn’t help notice this item and it isn’t even from Park Fucking Slope, friends. It’s from Greenpoint. […]

We do love the Toll Brothers proposal for a condo on the shores of the Gowanus that we are fairly convinced won’t be built any time soon, partly because the developer’s finances are–how to put this–going down the shitter with astounding speed. In any case the firm is looking for a spot rezoning of property […]
