We were very thrilled to see the nabe's own SuperRabbi Simcah Weinstein (author of Up Up and Oy Vey!) on the front page of the latest edition of Brooklyn Papers.

Primary Day – A Comedy of Manners
While BHB is not in the business of endorsing any political candidates, the Connor vs. Diamondstone State Senate Democratic nomination faceoff has been quite nasty. Just ask our mailbox or our pals at Brooklyn Papers who refused to endorse either candidate. This fact is not lost on Nicole Brydson at the New York Observer. NY […]
Nabe Photog Reveals Gargantuan Nature of Yards Project
Brooklyn Heights resident and photographer Jonathan Barkey has created a website showing what he claims are the true proportions of Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Yards project.

BrooklynPapers Recaps CB Meetings
BrooklynPapers.com : It was neither the best of times, nor the worst of times, but three community boards surrounding Bruce Ratner’s Atlantic Yards mega-development held hastily scheduled, little-publicized and legally irrelevant public hearings last night (Thursday, Aug. 3) to give residents a chance to vent.
