April 27, 2021Louie’s Gyros Vegan Menu is Explored by Vegan BodegaCat
Bay Ridge resident, Rebecca (aka Vegan Bodegacat) shared her visit to Louie’s Gyros in Bay Ridge.
Louie’s was out of the vegan tzatsiki and spinach pies because they are very popular, so VeganBodegaCat got the vegan gyro, falafel sandwich, fries and hummus.
The vegan gyro is made out of vegetables.
VeganBodegaCat is building a camper with her Dad. See video Very cool.
See her other pics here.
VeganBodegaCat liked the vegan gyro from Louie’s and the hummus. She liked the falafel’s color, but it was a bit dry. Remember there was no tzatziki sauce left at Louie’s that day…so call before you go, if you are interested in the vegan options.
VeganBodegaCat has a cute shop online here.

On Saturday, May 1st there was a street renaming at 68th Street and Colonial Road in Bay Ridge at 11:00 am.
The street honors Fire Department EMS Lieutenant Walter J. Nelson Jr.
We should name more streets after people who devoted their lives to helping others. We should also have a book or site so that people know who they are and why the street was named after them!
Lt. Walter Nelson died in 2014 from a 9/11 related illness. In 2018, his name was added to the World Trade Center Memorial Wall at FDNY headquarters.
I’m glad his life is being celebrated in this community. Many people know Walter’s son, Kristopher – saving lives is in their family! Kristopher has has taught so many people in Bay Ridge how to do CPR! Good people make more good people!

April 25, 2021Body Mind Salt Opened in Bay Ridge
I saw a new place called Body Mind Salt opened at 6925 – 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge. I didn’t get a good look at it, so I went to find it online – here.
It looks very relaxing and has float therapy, a salt cave, energy healing (which looks like reiki), water therapy, a sound bath and meditation. There is a place to put your e-mail address to get on their mailing list on their website.
What a unique place for our neighborhood. Congratulations to the new owners!!
