The windows are papered over, and a sign on the door confirms that Banana Republic is leaving the neighborhood.

Chocolate Works: How Sweet it Its!
When it opened this past June, Montague Street’s Chocolate Works’ original design was slick and gleaming white. But by August, owner Shlomi Avdoo felt the confectionery should have a more “homey feel” and undertook a quick renovation.

An Imminent Opening for the Bossert?
Can it be true? Can the long-awaited grand–and I do mean grand–re-opening of the Bossert finally be upon us? The Brooklyn Paper says, yes, indeed. Or, maybe.

I’ll confess to having felt a bit curious when it was announced last Friday that various streets in and around Brooklyn Heights, including my home street, Montague, were to be paved the following Monday (last night) and Tuesday nights. After all, the affected streets had not yet been milled; a necessary prelude to repaving. Indeed, […]

AM New York Goes Shopping on Montague Street
AM New York’s Alison Fox visited Montague Street to write the paper’s first installment of an “Explore a Block” series. Ms. Fox noted that Brooklyn Heights is one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, having been first settled in 1636 by a group of Dutch farmers who were unhappy with the rocky soil of lower Manhattan […]
