The NY Times searches for New York's "Hidden Places" in today's edition, with a mention of Grace Court Alley: 

New York Times: New York's Hidden Places…:Brooklyn Heights is also home to several mews. When Stephanie Walls-Driscoll bought her carriage house at 19 Grace Court Alley about four years ago, it was the last one on the street still being used as a two-car garage. She and her husband have converted it into a three-story home with two bedrooms and a garden level. She is offering it for rent at $10,000 a month through Halstead Property.

“When I first saw it, I thought: ‘How could you resist this?’”Ms. Walls-Driscoll said. “It’s so secluded and so quiet.”

The Brooklyn Eagle reports on the unique swearing in service for the new senior minister at the First Unitarian Congregational Society: 

Brooklyn Eagle: The First Unitarian Congregational Society in Brooklyn and its new senior minister, the Rev. Dr. Patrick T. O’Neill, overcame an unexpected adversity on Nov. 18, the date of his scheduled Service of Installation at this landmark Heights church. Hours before the service, a broken toe had sent the Rev. Dr. O’Neill to the emergency room, and he remained hospitalized as the 5 p.m. installation began.

However, his devoted congregation and its innovative use of technology enabled him to participate in own his installation via cell phone.
