October 19, 2025RIP Nonna Romana Sciddurlo
We came to know this beautiful Nonna from the ” Cooking with Nonna” show that she did with her granddaughter, Rossella Rago.
Rossella shared this today:
The Bookmark Shoppe in Bay Ridge, which had events with Nonna Romana, shared this:
Wake at Torregrossa Funeral Home, 1305 79th Street on October 25th & Sunday October 26th from 3 – 8 pm.
Mass at St. Athanasius Church is on October 27, 2025 at 9:45 am.
So many people I know use Nonna’s recipes – they are easy and delicious. In 2023, we met this sweet lady in person and it was a very memorable event.
RIP Nonna.

October 19, 2025The Bay Ridge Manor Has a New Owner Shared at The CB 10 Police and Public Safety Meeting
In the Spring, we saw the videos of the new owners on Facebook celebrating that they owned The Bay Ridge Manor. See:
When we asked the staff at The Bay Ridge Manor if there were new owners, they said the catering hall was not sold.
Acris shows it was sold:
You can see it here on the bottom left:

It’s also called the new Yemeni Community building. See here:
https://www.facebook.com/100078951363572/posts/685308694110837/?rdid=zTBjr3qQAUAJCemr#
At the Community Board 10’s Meeting this week, they said that Ali is purchasing The Bay Ridge Manor. He was at the meeting to get a liquor license.
CB 10 also discussed liquor licenses for the following places:
a) New Greek restaurant – Kampos Taveerna at 8413 – 3rd Avenue. Owner also owns Pegasus, so you know it’s going to be good.
b) Cecchino’s is opening at 8702 – 3rd Avenue (where Uncle Louie G’s used to be). They will serve appetizers, salad, pizza, pasta dishes and dessert.
CB 10 also discussed another cannabis dispensary is opening in Bay Ridge. OV Enterprises is opening at 9206 – 3rd Avenue. It will be open every day until 11:00 pm and have a security guard.
Community Board 10, needs to rename the Police and Public Safety Committee to The Liquor and Dispensary License Committee.
Let’s not pretend CB 10 discusses safety. If this committee was interested in safety, they would have discussed how to prevent accidents like what happened on Narrows Avenue, as well as train surfing because children in our community were hurt.

October 18, 2025No Kings in Brooklyn, Andrew Gounardes!
Brooklynites from Redhook shared the graphic above.
If you live in Bay Ridge, take a look at Mary Frost’s article, which explains the corruption behind the Brooklyn Marine Terminal. See:
The other leaders in this area – two Assemblywoman and two Councilmembers spoke out against the project and asked for more time for the community to review the changes to the plan.
If a Republican did what Goldman and Gounardes did, Democrats would be crying about it online.
