Hunter’s Steak and Ale House Has Closed
After 30 years of being in business in Bay Ridge, Hunter’s Steak and Ale House at 9404 – 4th Avenue has closed.
While Ridgites wanted to say that the restaurant wasn’t closing, we knew it was because our friends went to book a party there and they weren’t able to.
Realty sites showed the property was In Contract:
Congratulations to the owners Tommy and John. They had other successful places in Bay Ridge like Bojangles and Peggy O’neils that Ridgites loved!
Happy Retirement! People will miss Hunter’s because they made great memories there.

Last Summer, the news showed that teens were’ “hosting” huge gatherings at beaches in Queens.
They call these social media parties “take overs” because so many teens show up after seeing the invitation on Instagram or TikTok.

The police in Coney Island will need to search social media for future Coney Takeovers or Linkups because the warmer weather will bring more events.

April 11, 2026Attempted Robbery With Knife – 97th Street and Fort Hamilton Parkway in Bay Ridge
This afternoon around 4:30 pm, there was an attempted robbery with a knife on 97th Street and Fort Hamilton Parkway. This was on the Citizen App at 4:52 pm today:
97th Street and Fort Hamilton Parkway doesn’t have businesses. It is residential and then the park (or under the highway) is on the other side. See: https://shorturl.at/5L9aI
The Citizen App says it was an attempted robbery, so does that mean the thief didn’t get people’s phone/money/belongings?
The description says that the man had a hooded sweatshirt with sparkles on it – that’s interesting.

April 11, 2026NYC Sues Solar Panel Company
Radiant Solar went door to door and sold solar panels to homes owners in New York City. See News:
https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/new-york-city-radiant-solar-lawsuit-william-james-bushell
Their pitch to homeowners was basically: “Let me see your existing electric bill. If you install solar panels your electric bill will drop to _____.” They also said that government incentives will help pay for it.
Instead home owners were signed up for loans for $30,000 – $40,000. Some people didn’t realize they had taken out a loan until they got a letter from the lender. (Source: https://shorturl.at/nDq1d )
About 370 New York City homeowners were affected by these loans.
Some people who had the panels installed reported that:
- The panels were installed facing the wrong direction, so they didn’t produce enough power.
- They had roof damage/ leaks or a collapsed ceilings after installation
New York City filed a lawsuit against the company and its owner. The city is asking for: $18 million to repay homeowners.
A realtor shared this story here:
