Andrew Nardi’s Family Is Looking For Him
Andrew Nardi’s family is looking for him.
Andrew is 34 years old. He is 6 feet tall and 200 pounds.
Andrew sometimes sleeps in the 86th Street parking lot ramp or in restaurant sheds. (I think his picture of him sleeping on the sidewalk was shared today, but I couldn’t find it when I went back.)
Andrew was recently brought to Maimonides‘s Hospital, but was released three days later.
If you see Andrew, please let his father know here.
If you can, ask him if he wants to call his dad. What will get Andrew’s attention is telling him that his Dad received his Cash App check.

Cebu Restaurant Requested Two Sidewalk Cafes and Two Roadside Cafes From CB 10
At Community Board 10’s Committee Meeting this week, Cebu Restaurant at 8801 – 3rd Avenue requested two sidewalk cafes and two roadside cafes.
Cebu has to reduce the length of their roadside cafe as NYC changed the requirements for outdoor seating.
Cebu is a fantastic restaurant and their outdoor setup is beautiful on 3rd Avenue.
Is there enough space for the sidewalk cafe and for residents to pass with wheelchairs and strollers as well?
CB 10’s slides showed there will be less tables and less chairs on both the sidewalk seating and the roadside cafe.
While the outdoor seating is nice for the community and for this restaurant, the sidewalk on 3rd Avenue is very busy on a Saturday night and the tables should be limited on the sidewalk.
A few members of CB 10’s committee voted against the sidewalk cafe seating, but the majority did not. The full vote will happen at the next CB 10 meeting on Monday, October 21st at The Bay Ridge Center at 15 Bay Ridge Avenue at 7:00 pm.
The residents on 88th Street or anyone in Bay Ridge should attend the CB 10 meeting, if they have anything to add to this outdoor seating discussion.

Justin Brannan Was Caught Playing Both Sides. Brannan Was Ousted By the Italian Caucus
The NY Post and Channel 1 News shared that Councilman Justin Brannan was ousted from the Italian Caucus of NYC Council. (News)
The members of the Italian Caucus agreed to support Columbus Day. While Brannan’s name still remains on their website (here), his name was not included in NYC Council’s celebration this week:
Brannan’s name was not on NYC Council’s celebration.
In 2023, Councilman Brannan signed a letter to preserve Columbus Day. (See here) Brannan agreed to be the grand marshal of the Brooklyn Columbus Day Parade in 2023 – the parade was cancelled due to rain. (Source)
When Justin Brannan changed his feelings towards this issue, he should have sent a letter to the Italian Caucus and politely said he no longer holds the same beliefs.
When the news came out about the ousting, Brannan should have made a bold statement on social media, but Justin cried about Bob Holden’s age instead.
Brannan lashed out at Bob Holden for being old because he couldn’t call Holden a MAGA (he’s a Democrat). Bob Holden is 73 years old and a decent politician. Justin Brannan exaggerated with the term octogenarian to insult Holden (rather than calling him a septuagenarian)
Someone’s age should not be something to mock….especially not by a politician who got caught playing both sides.
Today was Brooklyn’s Columbus Day Parade and Justin Brannan was there. #PlayingPolitics
In 2021, Justin Brannan’s shared this on Columbus Day:
