November 16, 2023Palestinian March – 86th St. in Bay Ridge 11/18

People have the right to protest. On Saturday, November 18th at 2:00 pm, Within Our Lifetime will hold a rally on 86th Street and 4th Avenue.
When people are angry, organizers of the event should be present at the end of the rally to speak to them.
At the end of this protest, the protesters that remain in the area need to be brought to an area to have some soup or coffee and talk to each other. They are fighting for their country and this is a very upsetting protest for people.
The NYPD in Bay Ridge is organized and there shouldn’t be a battle between the protesters and the police.
The police aren’t responsible for what’s happening in Gaza, so when the rally end, please go with your friends to some of the great places in Bay Ridge. Asal Yemen on 5th Avenue and 76th Street has Yemeni tea & honeycomb bread. Both would be great after a chilly afternoon.

Have you tried Ayat? It’s on 85th Street and 3rd Avenue – not only is the food great, but the owners are very nice people too!

Look at how gorgeous this art is:

November 16, 2023Was There Another Raid Here?

Before we talk about the raid, let’s talk about the condition of the street in this photo. It’s filthy. It’s not just the garbage bag or the papers, it’s the street looks unmaintained….it needs to be powerwashed. .
If someone showed you this photo and said, “This is Bay Ridge” would you believe them?
Anyway, there was another raid at this place. Ridgites saw it happen around 2:00 pm yesterday. It’s almost a year ago that it was first raided. There’s just too many of these shops and no one is doing anything about them.
