October 2, 2024Crash on 7th Avenue in Bay Ridge
Photo: Tony Randazzo
7th Avenue in Bay Ridge was redesigned. The street must have looked good designed on paper, but if you drive on this street when the bus is there, you know there is a problem!
Tony and Rob shared the photos and both said that there was a head on collision with this car and the bus. Hopefully the driver of the sedan is alright.

On September 5th, I wrote to Councilman David Carr about the problem and I asked him to have the DOT ride from the Army Base down to the hospital. I believe Councilman Carr is a good politician and he just needs NYC Department of Transportation to update this street for safety or change the bus stop’s location.
We haven’t driven on the road since! (See photos here)

October 2, 2024Ayat Restaurant is Opening in Astoria, Queens – Next to a Synogogue
Ayat Restaurant first opened on 3rd Avenue and 85th Street in Bay Ridge. The Palestinian street food cuisine was instantly a hit!
The owners, Ayat and Abdul Elenani opened several Ayat locations in New York City including: Industry City, Ditmas Park, The East Village and Staten Island. On their website, I noticed they even opened an Ayat in Pennsylvania. (Info)
Their newest location will be on Crescent Street in Astoria, Queens. Next door to the restaurant is the Sons of Israel Synagogue. They put this message on the synagogue’s door:
While many people might not think posting a message on a synagogue door would be the best way to communicate with a new neighbor, the message is one of peace.
Abdul Elenani is a straight-shooter – he will do things differently and work for peace. Hopefully, someone from the synagogue (or someone in the area) responds to the message.
Last December, the Ayat Restaurant in Ditmas Park received negative statements online, In January, the Elenani’s held a free Shabbat Dinner for 1,200 people. (Info) They said, “Let’s create a space where differences unite us, where conversations flow freely, and where bonds are forged.”
Congratulations to Ayat and Abdul on their new place and may their open communication forge peaceful relations in the community!
