In town for the Fourth? Let us know what you like or dislike about being in Brooklyn Heights for a long weekend. Away for the holiday? Let us know if you’ve found a choice spot for a short break, especially if it’s not too distant and accessible by public transportation. Otherwise, just let us know what’s on your mind.

What’s on your mind? Been to the DUMBO Art Festival? Greenway opening celebration? Selling anything in the “Stoopendous” sale tomorrow? Comment away. (Photo above: the tug Ellen S. Bouchard passes the exposed pilings at the north end of Pier 1, Brooklyn Bridge Park, yesterday morning.)
Cell Phone Service and Brooklyn Heights: Not a Love Story
Making a cell phone call from my apartment on Pierrepont Street goes like this:
1: Look at phone to see how many bars I have
2: If three or more bars are present, dial phone
3: If not, wait for the “No Service” indicator to vanish, then dial
4: Wait for person on other end to answer
5: Warn this person that the call could be disconnected with very little notice at any given moment
Running the Heights!
With the nice weather finally upon us, it’s prime time to explore the beauty of Brooklyn Heights and squeeze in a workout at the same time: go for a run! As a BHB contributor and avid runner, I pose to my fellow pavement pounders a thread to share routes short and long, intense and easy, at sunrise or sunset. Sick of the crowds on the Brooklyn Bridge? Ready to throw a tourist over the Promenade railing? Share your hidden gem of a trail!
To begin, here’s one of mine: Julie’s 4-miler
