Peter Abbate sent out 20,000 Christmas cards to people in Vinnie Gentile’s area. Abbate said he was unsure how much the cards cost, since he has yet to pay the bill. Does anyone else see a problem with that? If Peter Abbate actually did something (really ANYTHING…even one small thing) for […]

Monday, December 12th, 2016Cost Plus World Market Opened in Brooklyn
I love that Cost Plus World Market is now in Brooklyn at 850 3rd Ave, Brooklyn – it’s near the large computer store, MicroCenter – 3rd Avenue between 30th and 31st Streets. I’ve ordered from World Market’s online shop for years, but I had never been in a World Market store. In the mall […]

We saw some swans and ducks so we went to the store and bought some bread to feed them. This water is across the street from Bay Academy School – 1409 Emmons Avenue in Brooklyn.
Thursday, December 8th, 2016Help for Immigrants in NYC
The first place I thought would be of help to immigrants was the NY Bar Association 212.626.7383 – they also have help for people in person – see here And there are a lot more places that can help immigrants here as well. Then I saw these posted online: […]
Tuesday, December 6th, 2016Insiders With Private Parking in Public Spaces in Brooklyn
Over the weekend, I noticed that Industry City has a lot more signs which state “Parking by Permit Only” around some of their buildings. Notice these signs are very different than the signs for deliveries at certain hours/days throughout Brooklyn. Brooklyn Borough President, Eric Adams has his own private parking courtesy of tax […]
Monday, December 5th, 2016Dyker Heights – Santa Loves Them Best!
Dyker Heights decorates like crazy for Christmas. And I LOVE it! Most of the houses uses the same decorations year to year and ten add in a new thing or two each year. But the real reason they decorate like crazy is because Santa loves them best. There’s the #BiggestSantaEver on the corner […]
Monday, December 5th, 2016Bob Capano Shouldn’t Run for a Bay Ridge City Council Seat Because He Isn’t Current with Bay Ridge Issues
Beautiful bridge…..but the views on the two sides of the bridge are very different. Today everyone in Bay Ridge was talking about the Muslim Police officer and son who were harassed in #Bay Ridge last night. Ridgites are upset because no one wants a mother and a teen being bothered or threatened by anyone, especially someone […]
Sunday, December 4th, 2016Give an Experience in Bay Ridge as a Gift
We all have so much “stuff.” I love going to do things with my family and friends so I was looking for things that could be done locally. I gave Lee a TIG welding class (Gabriel from Weldtastic was amazing) and Indian cooking class (in this woman’s home) in the past and he loved it. […]
Sunday, December 4th, 2016Mama’s Greek Kitchen Opens – Bon Chovie Leaves Bay Ridge
First the good news, a new Greek Restaurant called Mama’s Greek Kitchen opened at 7024 3rd Avenue (formerly Pashazade and before that it was The Water Grill). They have a regular Greek menu, but they also have breakfast and deliver. 71st Street has been a hard corner to have a business, but this one […]
Saturday, December 3rd, 2016Fort Hamilton Army Base Xmas Market & Tree Lighting
It was sooooooooooooo cold – freezing cold and the stands were blowing over. I could have hugged the heaters (seen in the picture above) and still been freezing cold. I think people would buy more if they were warm. How come they don’t have the market inside? Or do Christmas in […]
