84th Precinct Police Blotter – 1/18/11
Brooklyn Heights was a sight to behold today, what with children in snowsuits splayed across the sidewalk and commuters making like Balanchine over wet curbs. This reporter not only hit every red light when crossing, but didn’t miss a single dirt river. (In sneakers, yay!) I was never so happy to see Metro Tech in […]
Rare 1770 Map at Brooklyn Historical Society
The New York Times has an article about a rare map of New York City from 1770; it was discovered at the Brooklyn Historical Society last year, and is one of only four such maps created by the venerable cartographer Bernard Ratzer.

Friends With Kids Filming with Ed Burns (no Jon Hamm?)
The red BHB phone rang a little while ago with my marching orders: go cover Friends With Kids and “Get Jon Hamm!” So march I did, single-file across that path on Henry St. that won’t be clear of snow until July. I didn’t see Jon Hamm, but I did capture a surprise guest star—Ed Burns […]
Friends With Kids on Henry Street
Perhaps this is the sequel to “Friends With Benefits?” (This struck me so funny earlier that I fell of the curb.) At any rate, Henry from Cranberry to Clark will be off limits on the 14th due to this 2012 laugh-fest starring Megan Fox and Jon Hamm. Share this Story: Tweet

Marty Markowitz Talks Turkey
The New York Post stole my line about it not quite being like WKRP In Cincinnati, but nevertheless, Borough Prez Marty Markowitz handed out 1,000 turkeys and tons of trimmings to Brooklyn’s needy at Borough Hall yesterday. Said Markowitz: “Sharing not only reflects the true meaning of the Thanksgiving holiday, but I would also like […]
Atlantic Ave. Tunnel Doubles as Movie Theater
Rooftop Films is going underground next month, as its Short Film Program will be screened in the famed Atlantic Avenue tunnel. The tunnel, whose entrance is located at the manhole cover on Atlantic and Court St., is part of the first subway system, built in 1844 and rediscovered by Flatbush resident Bob Diamond in 1979. […]
This Year, Get Her a Naughty Shakespeare Mug
The displays at CVS tell me it’s that time of the year again, and since I used up all my great gift giving ideas back in 1995, I’m always on the lookout for something a little different. As luck would have it, while investigating the story behind La Mancha this morning, I happened upon a […]
