A teen steals bread when she can’t have wine; a near-holdup at Capital One; and a girl maces her mom. It’s this week’s police blotter. Share this Story: Tweet

Where Luca Brasi Met the Fishes?
One of the reasons I moved to Brooklyn Heights is because I’m a big fan of Moonstruck, and it seemed like a neighborhood with all sorts of romantic possibilities. (Little did I know.) Yet the Heights also has its dark side—which may or may not have been projected on the big screen in The Godfather. […]
Love Lane Mews – East Side
Will there be an East Side/West Side rivalry at Love Lane Mews? That remains to be seen. In the meantime, here’s a look at what’s going on in the East Side space opposite the former parking garage. I’ve been watching this take shape from my bedroom window for almost two years, with the sounds of […]

Planet Fitness; various assaults on teens; and apparently police don’t like it when you sell untaxed cigarettes. It’s this week’s police blotter. Share this Story: Tweet
Dimples and Love Lane Update
I went over to 91 Montague St., the former site of Dimples Kids Spa. According to the owners of the retail space, Dimples indeed went out of business, and they are now seeking new tenants. If you or someone you know is interested in renting, call 212-644-2222. (Especially if you’re interested in opening a nail […]
2010 NYC Marathon
I shot some footage of this morning’s marathon. I didn’t see the Chilean miner, but I did see a runner dressed as Gene Simmons. Have a look! 2010 NYC Marathon from Heather Quinlan on Vimeo. Share this Story: Tweet
Hot Singles Scene Brewing in Brooklyn Heights?
A single gal friend of mine was looking at apartments in the neighborhood yesterday, and asked me what the action was like in the Heights. Hmmmm. Well, yesterday we asked you to weigh in on the best brew in town; it would stand to reason, then, that with all the new cafes around there should […]
Haunted Follow-Up
A reader tipped us off to a New York Times article from August 7, 1899 that reports the death of five-year-old William Foster, who tragically fell from the balcony at 20 Columbia Place. Could this be the ghostly presence recently reported? (Or there may be more than one?) Interestingly, according to Property Shark the building […]
Is Iris Cafe Haunted?
Does the Iris Cafe, known for awesome Ploughman’s sandwiches and Americanos, also have a ghost in the house? A tipster alerted us to a gruesome killing in the 1980s that left 20 Columbia St. Pl. (I have a terrible sense of direction.) with a wailing phantom. Research has been inconclusive, though one local resident said, […]
Amateur Boxing Tonight at Gleason’s
If you’re like me and you love both boxing and Halloween, come by Gleason’s Gym tonight for Amateur Boxing with costumes. No word on whether the fighters will be dressed up, but there will be prizes for best costume. (Perhaps this is what makes you a prizefighter?) I’ll be there and so will Mike Tyson, […]
