Reader Kylie sends us this photo of what appears to be Sad Panda suspended from a tree limb on Cadman Plaza West, near the High Street A/C subway entrance, taken this morning at around 7:00. Does anyone know anything about this? Update: BHB tipster “REDACTED” sent us us a photo from another angle. See it after […]

School’s Back in Session or Copy Editing Gone Very Wrong
BHB reader “Rich” sends us this photo of a very special rearrangement of Cutting Den’s sign at the Clark Street station. Guess the students are back and school’s back in session!
Happy 5th Birthday, Self-Absorbed Boomer
BHB contributor Claude Scales is celebrating 5 years of his own blog Self Absorbed Boomer today. Claude’s been an essential cog in the BHB machinery and if you haven’t read his personal take on things Brooklyn and beyond now is a good time to check out SAB.
Happy Fourth Birthday BHB
Four years ago, Qfwfq and I had the nutty idea to start Brooklyn Heights Blog. I’d lived here for about a year and he’d soon follow. We’d worked on other sites together at CBS and we thought it would be fun to create a neighborhood blog here since no one else had launched one. […]
Brooklyn Paper on Movie Noise: Not So Bad Now

Come Monday morning we may have to do baking the old-fashioned way, by waiting on the teller’s […]

Why pay a buck for a bottle when you can have NYC’s finest from a fountain for free? During the heat wave, the City has set up “Water-on-the-Go” stations at convenient spots, including this one on Columbus Plaza near Borough Hall.

By all estimation, Tuesday afternoon June 15, was one of those uniquely beautiful days which should be spent outside, walking/rolling around Brooklyn Heights. Since I had not been down to Pier 1 Park recently, that was my destination after conducting some errands. However, you cannot fully appreciate my rage when I discovered that it is […]
