Rain, never heavy, but scattered showers, put something of a damper on today’s Earth Day celebration, sponsored by the Montague Street BID. Who can blame Mother Earth for a little rain? April showers, as they say, bring May flowers. In any event, things got going as scheduled at 10:00 AM, with the Brooklyn United Marching […]

Montague Street Open Again
The hole opened to fix the water main break has been filled, and Montague Street between Clinton and Henry is once again open to vehicular traffic.
Update on Montague Street Water Main Break
As of Friday afternoon, March 3, there was still a large hole in Montague Street between Clinton and Henry streets, and so no vehicle traffic on that block. Based on your correspondent’s eyeball survey, most businesses on that block were open. The only exceptions were the Nanatori and Lichee Nut restaurants, which may have suffered […]
Water Main Break Floods Montague Street, Businesses, and R/N Subway Line
Update: According to the MTA website, service has been restored on the R/N line at Court Street.

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. The wall of candy by the pound, glass displays of chocolate truffles and fudge remain. But the high […]
