Cafe Ubani Opened in Bay Ridge – 3rd Avenue
Cafe Ubani opened at 8309 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge. See their menu here 718-333-5363.
They serve Georgian cuisine and are open from 12:00 pm – 10:00 pm.
The above dish is called ajapsandali – it’s a Georgian Eggplant Stew (eggplant, tomato and bell pepper).
The bread boat is popular at Georgian restaurants. It’s delicious and the table shares it along with some other appetizers.
Welcome to Bay Ridge, Cafe Ubani – Congratulations to the new owners.
This is where the Georgian Cuisine Restaurant used to be. (See street)

The Sheriff Raided the 86th Street Tobacco Shop
My neighbor called me right before 10:00 pm tonight because Bay Ridge was on Fox News. The sheriff raided the Tobacco Shop at 554 – 86th Street. (See here)
The sheriff confiscated cigarettes that didn’t have the stamp.
And they also confiscated illegal vape products – on the news they said the illegal vape contains flavoring.
The sheriff also searched the store for hidden compartments where marijuana could be hidden.
The sheriff didn’t find any marijuana at this shop, but they found a lot of edibles at the Fort Hamilton Smoke Shop. (See here)

Sheriff Raided Ft. Hamilton & 45th Street Shop And Found Marijuana Cigarettes & Edibles
Fox News taped the sheriff as he and his team raided the Smoke Shop on Fort Hamilton Parkway and 45th Street in Borough Park, Brooklyn. They seized a lot of products there. (See News Story)
The store had edibles in bags that looked liked cereal packages that people would recognize. The real Lucky Charms is not spelled with a Z.
Instead of Packy Sticks, there were Packy Woods:
They had marijuana cigarettes in prescription containers.
And snack bags with edibles were being sold.
This store had not applied for a license to sell these products.

Ari Kagan is Expected to Challenge Brannan
Woot Woot! What good news!
NYC Council changed district lines. In the Summer, Bay Ridge started out with Staten Island. Bay Ridge Democrats complained and the district was moved to Bay Ridge and Sunset Park. Brannan could never beat Alexa Aviles.
Then the district was changed to this gerrymandered monster with one street connector for the monster’s head.
Ari Kagan was pushed out. Current elected leaders and district leaders in Brooklyn didn’t say anything. Chris McCreight and Tori Burhas were silent (as usual). (Story here)
Ari Kagan switched parties and will challenge Justin Brannan as a Republican. Ari Kagan and Mike Ragusa (his website) will have a primary. Bye bye Brannan!
Anyone who has backed Brannan in the past has no idea how many lobbyists projects he has pushed in the area. Please check before you endorse/support. It’s clear, we need a new representative.
Ari Kagan’s work has been impressing Brooklynites:
Chris McCreight and other Democrats were bitter about the news.
If McCreight spoke out against the gerrymandered district which overtook Ari Kagan’s district, this wouldn’t have made more divisions in the Democratic Party. (See here)
McCreight’s silence to preserve his position in Brannan’s office doesn’t work out well for Brooklyn.

Changes to the Express Bus in Bay Ridge – Register for the CB 10 Meeting on February 9th
The MTA is making changes to bus routes in NYC. (Read about it here)
*Years ago, every politician took credit for the bus routes, BUT NOW not one has told Bay Ridge about these changes or announced this meeting! The info is being shared by neighbors who use the Express Bus.
For the express buses, one of the changes they are proposing is moving the Senator Street stop to 3rd and the Bay Ridge Avenue intersection, which is already crowded. Wait times will increase for the X37 during peak hours.
The MTA are removing some stops to make the buses run a little faster. They lost drivers during COVID, so they cannot add more buses.
You can see the proposed changes here.
Community Board 10 will be discussing these changes at the February 9, 2023 meeting at 6:30 – 8:30 pm. You can register for the meeting here.
You can attend this meeting here

Stanley Ng, A Man With Solutions Is Running for NYC Council in District 43
New NYC Council districts were created this year. A new Asian district was created (seen in bright blue in the map below).
Bay Ridge is in the green monster, Gerrymanderzilla District 47.
Stanley Ng is a man with solutions!
Stanley has been fighting against broken systems for years. (Look at the date on this) Racists and segregationists won’t have a change with Ng. Remember Ng was there to fight against this mess.
Ng has been an advocate for high quality schools in Brooklyn for children for many years. He was a member of District 20’s Community Education Council. (See here)
Stanley Ng is not a politician, so I am glad to see this community builder running for office!
A quick search will show that Stanley has worked with various politicians (both Democrats and Republicans) because he is a leader and someone who believes in helping his community. He’s fought against Asian hate, when many leaders in our area didn’t!
In 2021, Ng was honored by Eric Adams for distributing food to people in need during the pandemic.
Last May, Stanley Ng asked what most people in our area have asked, “Is there a reason why commercial trucks cannot be towed in our area of South Brooklyn?”
I know Stanley Ng (we are not friends, but I know him). He’s a good father and a good man. He will make a great councilman because he is a community builder.
