The Brooklyn Bugle gang including your pals from Brooklyn Heights Blog and Cobble Hill Blog will be out in full force this Sunday (10/4) at the Atlantic Antic. Our tent will be stationed in front of the Atlantic Bookshop between Court and Clinton Streets. We’ll have limited edition Bugle T-shirts that feature a cool Brooklyn Bugle logo remix by Brooklyn Tattoo’s Adam Suerte (while supplies last!!).
Stopping by the big tent — BHB Ten members Melanie Hope Greenberg (10:30am – 11am) and SNL writer Simon Rich (1pm).
Greenberg will be hosting a storytime for kids at 10:30 am – children of all ages are welcome!
Rich and his writing partner/ New Yorker cartoonist Farley Katz will stop by the tent at 1pm to meet and greet fans. Their New York Superheros cards will be on sale in our tent from 1pm – 2pm.
We’ll be taking photos, shooting video and live blogging from the Antic as well. Stop by and say hello!
See you Sunday!

And so there she was, on Tuesday morning in the snow, reading her book to first and second graders at PS 58 in Carroll Gardens, who couldn’t stop squealing with delight whenever they saw pictures of the boardwalk or the Cyclone. (more…)
We thought it would be interesting to compile a list of 10 people who live or work in Brooklyn Heights who we think made an impact on our neighborhood, our city, our country or the world. We asked for your input as well and the list reflects that.
None of those named in the BHB Ten were notified ahead of time regarding their selection. If you’re on the list (or if you didn’t make it!) we welcome your comments.
And now, the first ever BHB Ten: (more…)
