Ben Verde’s Pizza List in the Brooklyn Paper

We saw Ben Verde’s pizza list in the Brooklyn Paper here

It’s a list of the “same old” pizza places making the best pizza in Brooklyn list for years. When you see the same old places and, you know newer pizzarias in Brooklyn are not being tried.

When Espresso Pizza doesn’t make the list, it means the person doesn’t know Brooklyn.

When Lombardo’s Pizza doesn’t make the list, it means the person isn’t getting around Brooklyn and is just going by the old favorites.

Ben Verde don’t report about pizza if you haven’t tried all of the pizza!

Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis now has an awning on her office. It is a very nice-looking awning. I passed it on today, but didn’t have time to stop and take a photo.

Michael Tannousis name is not on the awning, even though the Assemblyman shares the office.

Her office is at 7716 3rd Avenue – across the street from the Greenhouse Cafe on 3rd Avenue and 77th Street.

Who Doesn’t Want People to See the Justin Brannan Defunded the Police Signs?

v

EEEKKK I am pretty sure I know who that is!

They got caught pulling down this yellow sign:

Last election Mark Szuszkiewicz removed Frontus’s sign from a store and shared it on Instagram. (See here)

Now we have people removing signs from the neighborhood. The yellow signs read: “Justin Brannnan Defunded the Police.”

In the prior election, we saw Frontus’ banner disappear in the election against Saperstein.

People aren’t fooled by signs being pulled down.

Brannan joined in a Twitter discussion which he could have changed the language of “defunding the police.” (See here)

I was shocked when I read that tweet, I blogged about it here. After NYC Council’s vote, Brannan could have apologized for the language, but he didn’t.
