RIP Edward Roman

At 6:30 am this morning, Edward Roman parked his car on the the Verrazzano Bridge and jumped. (See here)

He was only 38 years old, from Long Island and a Corrections Officer at Rikers. The US government should have taken over Rikers a long time ago due to the poor conditions. (See here)

The coast guard rushed him to the hospital, but he died an hour later.

Prayers for Edward’s family and friends. How awful this must be for them – God please be with them.

RIP Edward Roman.

Nakba Day Protest in Bay Ridge – May 15th

UPDATE: See the video here

On Sunday, May 15th, Palestinians in Bay Ridge will gather, chant and march on 5th Avenue for “Al Nakba.” They will start at 5th Avenue and 72nd Street at 1:00 pm. Avoid driving in the area.

Al Nakba means: “The Catastrophe.” It refers to the mass exodus of at least 750,000 Palestines, from the area which is now Israel.

Last year, Al Nakba was on a Saturday and there was a large crowd.

Model, Bella Hadid marched last year in Bay Ridge, so this year is sure to draw a large crowd, especially people who want to meet the famous American – Palestinian model.

Sunday Brunch at a Cyclones Game – Deal

The Cyclones has bottomless brunch for two hours for $49 for five Sundays this Summer. Great deal! (Info here)

Here’s the dates:

You may be thinking to yourself, $49 is not a deal for bottomless brunch. But that also includes the $15 ticket to the game.

Since your designated driver is not drinking, the cost for their brunch (including the ticket) is $35.00. This would be the cost for a child or teen as well (which isn’t a good deal)

The brunch is on the rooftop – under the open sky (not in one of the suites)
