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)

Reply to Hunter
Hey Hunter College! We are glad you got yours.
For those who don’t understand this message, our politician’s friend wrote to me about this! (Specific information which wasn’t able to be confirmed was in the message.)
The answer to your question….a 25% tax break would have been sufficient, except for this developer. No money should have been made available for this man. Your friend told you who the the developer for the project is, right?
You are a parent – you should know better than to leave a message like that. Making excuses for corruption when your friends do it, is wrong. By now you should have realized that the men pushing bills for developers and lobbyists don’t belong in government.

In the future, you should avoid this blog. My neighbors and I have the right to fair property taxes and to representatives who want to represent everyone – not just political pacs, lobbyists, developers and a few of their friends, like you. (See here, here, here, here, here and here)
Finally, don’t waste your time speaking out against your neighbors who are asking for fair property taxes. It’s sad to see our politicians, who ran on platforms saying they would help home owners act like they aren’t from this district.

What Happened to The Family Store?

The Family Store at 6905 – 3rd Avenue has been in Bay Ridge for 36 years. This week The Family Store closed.
Sammy told us he was taking vacation in May to see his Mother, who wasn’t well.
We are sad to see this business leave our community – Sammy and his family cooked soooo well. They will be missed.
