When I saw last week’s Brooklyn Paper, the ‘Twitter’ story caught my attention. I recognized the names involved, but I don’t know either man that well. As I read the story, I was annoyed that these two men argued over the littlest thing: Quaglione’s garbage and recyclying weren’t picked up. Now of course that is not [...]
Monday, January 2nd, 2012The Best of Bay Ridge
I’ve lived in Bay Ridge for two years. A very close friend of mine is moving here and I am making her a list of the best places in Bay Ridge. The list just keeps getting longer and longer as I love to shop locally. Best Take Out/Delivery Pizza – Ginos (718) 748-1698 and Espresso [...]
Monday, September 26th, 2011It isn’t always easy to see past the rain…
When it rains, people in Brooklyn usually complain and moan. Yet, I love the rain and the moments right after it stops raining. I love how everything grows and the world looks a little bit cleaner. Sara died Saturday. She was a beautiful woman (two years my junior). Everyone keeps saying that she’s at peace, has [...]
Thursday, July 21st, 2011Applause for the Shomrim in Borough Park
After the tragedy of Leibby Kletzky, people are looking for answers or someone to blame. Yet, the men in Borough Park who form the Shomrim patrol, a volunteer civilian patrol should receive credit for the extensive search they did for Liebby. Shomrim is the Hebrew word for ‘guardian.’ The Shomrim in Borough Park are an exceptional [...]

Thursday, July 21st, 2011Stores like Crate and Barrel
My best friend and I are very different when it comes to decorating our homes. I love old world, traditional things with a modern swing (like Pottery Barn) and she only likes contemporary furniture and modern home goods….nothing else. The other day she asked me what stores are like Crate and Barrel? She love the marimekko print [...]
Thursday, July 21st, 2011Levi Aron’s Cat Removed by Police
The latest in the Levi Aron case……Levi Aron’s cat was taken out of the home. Why would the police remove the cat from Levi Aron’s home? Maybe they are looking to see if Levi lured Leiby with the cat and the cat may have prints or dna on him? An eight count indictment against Levi [...]
Thursday, July 21st, 2011Leibby Kletzky’s Parents & Family
Today was the end of shiva for the parents and relatives of Leibby Kletzky. Sitting shiva is a time for mourning. They walked around their block at 6:00 a.m to symbolize escorting the soul to its resting place. I’m sure Leibby’s parents have been going through hell since their son went missing on 7/11. Leibby [...]

Nachman Kletzky, Leibby Kletzky’s father said, “Had my dear son Leiby lived he would have contributed so much good to the world. He was such a sensitive and kind soul. Now that his beautiful life was cut so short we should not allow the world to miss out. Our family wishes to establish the LEIBBY KLETZKY [...]
Wednesday, July 20th, 2011Leibby Kletzky was drugged
Leibby’s death was ruled a homicide. Levi Aron gave Leibby several drugs including cyclobenzaprine (flexeril is a presciption muscle relaxant), quetiapine (Seroquel is prescribed for schizophrenia so Levi’s claim that he hears voices may hold up) and hydrocodone (vicodin) and acetaminophen (Tylenol) and then smothered him. The prescription medicine was found in Levi Aron’s apartment in [...]
Wednesday, July 20th, 2011Summer Find – Mystick Knotwork
While I was growing up, we spent the summer in the Hamptons. Everyone wore cute knot bracelets. I saw a few of these bracelets in summer fashion pics and thought I would check etsy. I found Mystick Knotwork on etsy selling the knot bracelets in cute colors. Years ago they were either blue or white bracelets. [...]
