Brooklyn Roots’ Beautiful Window – For Easter
Chef Thomas Perone was outside his restaurant, Brooklyn Roots at 8720 – 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge.
He was talking about his dish, Octopus Ragu, so octopus lovers, go enjoy it. I had no interest in that, but I noticed his beautifully painted window! I love when businesses decorate!
Perone also shared that he is thinking about having a cooking class at his other restaurant, The Corner on 86th Street and 3rd Avenue. See here: https://shorturl.at/mmIug

Hii Cannabis Dispensary – 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge – Next to Starbucks
Hii Cannabis Dispensary is opening at 9206 – 3rd Avenue.
For some people, it’s just another marijuana store in the neighborhood.
Just like liquor stores, children can not make purchases at the dispensaries.
In the past, the weed shops were not legal dispensaries and some teens were able to purchase. But the dispensaries have security and we haven’t heard of any purchases made by teens.
If you would like to work at this dispensary, call 917-863-1760. You can do inventory, deliveries or become a budtender, which is like a bartender, but for cannabis.
There is a Hii Cannabis Dispensary in Williamsburg and they deliver the weed: https://hiinyc.com/shop/brooklyn so they will probably do the same here in Bay Ridge.

Fireworks Dropped on 72nd Street and 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge
A Bay Ridge resident shared that a box of fireworks was put in the middle of the crosswalk on 72nd Street and 5th Avenue and lit. She and her dogs were 40–60 feet away from it.
If you have a dog, you know how terrible dogs feel when fireworks are set off. One of the dogs slipped out of her collar, but her owner was able to get her. The dog owner held her two dogs and tried covering their ears. She had to carry her dogs home after the fireworks.
The photo above is from an hour later, after someone dragged the burning box to the corner.

Oreo The Cat Worried Bay Ridge Animal Lovers
Oreo, a sweet black and white cat that lives at a business on 4th Avenue was seen in a tree on one of the adjacent streets in the 90’s.
A kind animal lover took a video of the cat and shared it to social media to get him help.
When people went to go help, the cat was gone from the tree. I’m glad that there are such nice people in our area that will take the time to help a street cat.
