May 8, 2020John’s Deli is Opening on 13th Avenue
John’s Deli in Staten Island is opening a deli in Dyker Heights at 8308 – 13th Avenue. In 1968 John’s Deli was at 86th Street and Stillwell Avenue in Brooklyn.
Johns’s Deli is in the storefront which belonged to Paesano
Most businesses wouldn’t attempt to open during a pandemic, but these business owners know people love sandwiches! See their menu. They aren’t open in Dyker Heights yet, so don’t try to order yet.
Here’s Rob talking about the new store:
Good luck to the new owners!

May 7, 2020Jetblue’s Flyover Bay Ridge
Today, Jetblue did a Flyover the city to show Nonstop Gratitude. They were a bit earlier than 7:00 pm for our area because they wanted to be in Manhattan at 7 pm.
Plane enthusiasts love these flyovers. Some people love to have a reason to drink wine on their roof.
Other NY’ers don’t like the waste of money for fuel or the low flying planes in NYC.

May 7, 2020Senator Gounardes Was Zoom Bombed
Technology is a great thing – when people take the time to use it correctly!
Senator Gounardes was having an online meeting with some college students.
If you are having an online discussion, then it’s your responsibility to learn how to control the meeting. Zoom has shared easy tips with users so they can keep their sessions from being bombed. A twitter user even responded that people have had two months to learn this technology – see here
Gounardes tweeted some slang language and blamed Zoom….#NoResponsibility
Shutting down a meeting that hasn’t been properly setup would have been the right thing to do.
Zoom quickly responded to the tweets above. See their response. Senator Gounardes doesn’t have near that response time!

May 6, 2020Comedian’s Cousin Given Pricey Catholic Funeral
Dorothea Buschell of Bay Ridge died of coronavirus on April 13th at the Hamilton Park Nursing & Rehabilitation Center (across the street from Poly Prep School).
RIP Dorothea.
Dorothea’s cousin, Elayne Boosler is a comedian. Boosler was surprised that Dorothea was given an expensive Catholic funeral, even though she’s Jewish and had a cemetery plot. The news article states that the funeral was part of a funeral plan, which Buschell was sold in August 2017, but never signed.
Boosler shared the story online because she doesn’t want this to other people. See the newspaper article.
