A Visit to Gleason’s Gym
Gleason’s Gym in Dumbo was one of those places I’d always wanted to visit, but never quite checked off my list.

Mark Your Calendars: Yankee Fair November 6th
I’m a Mets fan, but this is one Yankee event even I will go to. Mostly because it’s not about the New York baseball Yankees but about bouncy inflatables and baked goods.

Barney’s Co-op Opening, Or 30 Seconds in Heaven with Simon Doonan
Barney’s Co-op opened its doors with great fanfare today, welcoming not only Brooklyn fashionistas, but media ranging from New York Magazine to my bff, NY1’s fashion-forward Roger Clark. I was told Barney’s Creative Director and famed gadabout Simon Doonan would not have time to chat, but he insisted on speaking to the Brooklyn Heights Blog […]
