BHB tipster “Sara” sent us this photo of what appears to be “evidence” of two souls who were “called home” during today’s Rapture. As for the rest of us, we’re still here.

Hey Man, Is This Your Blackberry Lost in Brooklyn Heights?
We are so on a roll with the lost and the found. Let’s see if we can reunite this Blackberry and its owner. The photo comes courtesy of “PG” who found it and tells us: I found a Blackberry Curve on State St. and Sidney Pl. earlier today. I brought it to the Sprint store […]
Is Brooklyn Heights in 2011 Like Paris in the 1920s?
Paul LaRosa thinks it is: HuffPost NY: Laugh if you like, but I’ve been thinking more and more that Brooklyn, circa 2011, is very similar to what Paris was like nearly a century ago. Of course, I’m talking about the brownstone belt neighborhoods of Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Park Slope, Fort Greene, but […]

Papa John’s Invades Brooklyn Heights — With Fliers
It’s one thing that anyone who lives in Brooklyn – home to some of the country’s best pizza – would order “corporate fun” pizza like Papa John’s. Sure, it’s okay for folks from Wisconsin but for New York natives “forget about it” as we believe is the vernacular. So it’s particularly insulting when our wonderful […]

Caveat: the […]
New Directory Signs Posted
The Brooklyn Heights/DUMBO Cadman Plaza region is a tourist hot spot, and until now left with little direction. Good news, confused out-of-towners! When arriving in Brooklyn, you will be greeted by signs, pointing you to the Brooklyn Bridge, Dumbo, the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, and other landmarks. This sign is right outside the High Street station, […]
Doug’s Deli?
High winds a few days ago blew the temporary canvas sign for the deli at the corner of Montague and Hicks away, uncovering Doug Biviano’s campaign headquarters sign, which remained underneath. Update: The deli has a new, permanent sign (see photo after the jump).
Montague Terrace Horror! Beloved Dawn Redwood Downed in Brooklyn Heights
Word on the street (in this case, Montague Terrace) is that one of the four Dawn Redwood trees in Brooklyn Heights was “removed” from the backyard of 2 Montague Terrace. BHB tipster Andrew Porter tell us it was cut down at the order of the co-op board, but we’re still investigating this claim. BHA Executive […]
Finally! A Cafe with Wi-Fi!
These days, cafes with free internet access in the Brooklyn Heights area are hard to find. Iris stopped offering it, and Tazza still doesn’t. Well web-browsing latte drinkers, you’re in luck. Archway Cafe at the Pearl Street Triangle posted signage claiming to offer food, coffee, AND Wi-Fi!
