New Bay Ridge Street to Dump Cars
Bay Ridge residents weren’t happy when they saw their street, Fort Hamilton Parkway between 97th Street and Marine had become the new dumping ground for vehicles, especially the one below with no plates.
There is someone who isn’t afraid to park a car without plates because he knows it isn’t going to be towed.
This is what happens to communities where there is no leadership.

Anything actually going to be done about the motorcycles, e-bikes, dirt bikes and mopeds flying through #sunsetpark and #bushterminalpark ? These vehicles need to be impounded @NYCParks @NYCCouncil38 @BkCB7 @FriendsSunsetPk @queenoftheclick @brooklynpaper pic.twitter.com/ELUnjPyT7q

Councilman Justin Brannan voted in favor of the e-scooters in NYC in June 2020.
Since 2020, we have seen that some ebike users respect people and other drivers, some don’t. Brannan hasn’t passed any legislation to keep them off the sidewalk and out of our parks, even though many people have complained in our community.

The Narrows Is More Than a Coffee Shop!
The Narrows applied for a beer and wine license. Oh yeah!
Narrows Coffee Shop is on 4th Avenue and 100th Street. In 2020, Narrows Coffee Shop closed after being open for 54 years. (Story here) Rich Rosen (from Stewarts) has been redesigning the restaurant and renamed it, The Narrows.
The Narrows will be open every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday 6:00 am – 10:00 pm
On the weekend, the hours are a little later: Friday 6:00 am – 11:00 pm and Saturday 6:00 am – 12:00 pm
This place has been expanded and now there is an indoor and outdoor seating on the new deck. The deck is between Narrows and the nightclub next door.
They said there will not be music played outdoors – only inside.
They will be available for small parties for birthdays and anniversaries.
Here’s the breakfast menu:
Here’s the lunch and dinner menu:
Good luck to Rich and Kevin! We are so happy to see this place saved and can’t wait to you open!
