Fireworks Tonight; or, More Likely, Tomorrow
This in from Notify NYC: Notification issued 5/13/17 at 9:00 AM. There will be a fireworks display near the Statue of Liberty tonight, 5/13, at approximately 11:30 PM.

Tropical Storm Warning Issued Today
Update: The forecast as of now (Sunday, 1:30 p.m.) is for little if any rain (none today, a 20% chance tomorrow, and none Tuesday or Wednesday) but high winds tomorrow and Tuesday. Hermine is on the way, in time to spoil your Labor Day (and I’m a poet and didn’t know it.) This just in […]

Hot Enuf 4 Ya?
Yeah, it’s hot. Hot enough to fry an egg on the Promenade pavement. It’s gonna be even hotter tomorrow, they say. So, someone must be lovin’ it. Yeah. Lizz, of Lizzmonade is lovin’ it. Art appreciation is up, at least for Jeppe Hein’s “Appearing Rooms” on Pier 1, Brooklyn Bridge Park. Your correspondent found temporary […]

Gentle hippies will say “we dodged a bullet” while conspiracy theorists will blame the Illuminati or Hillary Clinton – but the Snowmageddon 2015 that was predicted for our area wasn’t all that huge. Here’s some photos:
Brooklyn Bridge Park CAC Meeting Postponed
Because of weather, the meeting of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Community Advisory Council, originally scheduled for tomorrow (Tuesday, January 27) evening, has been postponed for one week, to Tuesday, February 3. We presume it will be at the same time, 6:30 to 9:00 p.m., at Congregation Mount Sinai, 250 Cadman Plaza West. If this changes, […]
