September 26, 2019Iraqi House Received a Rave Review in the NYT
Above is the Quzi Chicken from Iraqi House in Bay Ridge – it’s delicious!
The Iraqi House Restaurant at 7215 – 3rd Avenue has only been open a few months. Already it caught the eye and tastebuds of the New York Times Food Critics. Read the review here
Lee had the Quzi Lamb and loved it. Lee is kind of picky so when he says something is delicious – it means it is really delicious. The meat falls off the bone!
This fosoulia (it’s like a bean soup). It was so delicious. I want Mohammed to sell this as a soup, so I can stop and get some on the way home from work.
The Iraqi House is the only restaurant in NYC devoted to Iraqi cuisine! People love this food – see his reviews.
We had a chance to talk to Mohammed, the owner of Iraqi House. He is very pleasant and upbeat. We could see how proud he was of his family’s dishes because they are so delicious.
See more pics of the food here. Mohammed doesn’t make the dishes too spicy, in case you were wondering – just flavorful!
Stop into Iraqi House – definitely get the rice. And get a bowl of the Fosoulia – they were so good.
Iraqi House is also on Seamless and Grubhub – there are a lot of pics of the food on there.

This was the 68th Precinct’s tweet AFTER the woman was in custody:
Why wouldn’t the 68th Precinct clear the air and say there wasn’t a gun?

September 26, 2019Man Jumped from the Verrazzano this Morning
Around 11:30 am this morning, a 50-year-old man jumped from the Verrazzano Bridge. His body was recovered by the Coast Guard in Fort Wadsworth. Story here
Councilman Steve Matteo has previously called for a baricade for the Verrazzano Bridge.
RIP….
To this man’s family – I am so sorry, but I am tired of feeling sorry. I hope you will sue the City of New York for failing to provide fencing around this bridge. Over the years, many families of those who have jumped have called for a fence, so no one has to go through what they went though, but no one can hear them. There is an attorney out there who will take this case pro-bono, you might make some money AND MAYBE JUST MAYBE, you will help get a barricade put up around this bridge that we have been seeing people kill themselves for years – see here.

Don’t open your door for a delivery. You can get it later. Story here
Click the video below, but first you brace yourself that this happened in Bay Ridge (around 6th Avenue and Bay Ridge Avenue)
On Monday afternoon, this fake FEDEX guy pretended he was delivering a package. The other man flashed a badge and pretended he was a police officer. (Source) When the Bay Ridge resident answered the door, the man forced his way in and nd his friend robbed a family in Bay Ridge.
The Post shared this photo and the one below
How awful!!
The men tied the people up with tape. They took $40,000 in cash and $80,000 in jewelry (in the video, you can see they make the resident open a safe)
A neighbor went into their home, took the pictures above, helped them remove the tape and called the police.
Below is the getaway car.
The police said they didn’t have the video above. (Source) It first appeared on Reddit yesterday – see here.
