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.
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, […]
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.

Oscar De La Hoya: Boxing’s Back In Town!
A swarm of media descended on Dumbo yesterday to cover an Oscar De La Hoya-hosted boxing clinic for young superstars at Gleason’s Gym.

Philly Phanatic a Brooklyn Heights Native
With the Yankees embroiled in a three game series with the Mets’ divisional rivals, the Phillies, and this Amazins fan uncharacteristically rooting for the Bronx Bombers, I was surprised to learn that the Philly Phanatic, the Phillies’ mascot (who, I will admit, has a lot more panache than Mr. Met), was created by Acme Mascots, […]

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, […]
