A Love Letter To Brooklyn Heights…
Despite moving to New York City in 1995, it wasn’t until I bought my first coop in Brooklyn Heights 12 years ago, that I first set foot in the borough of BK. In those first five years in NYC, I worked my way through three nabes—the Upper West Side, Chelsea and Tribeca—before a friend suggested […]

New York Times National Editor Sam Sifton recalled a rough-and-tumble childhood growing up on Willow Street, learning tricks like heading down Grace Court, which would trick pursuers seeking to “yoke” him into thinking he would be trapped on a dead-end street, then going over the fence and walking above the BQE to safety on Remsen […]

It’s been rumored for a couple months, but confirmation is now at hand: Starbucks at 112 Montague Street is moving east… to 134 Montague Street, site of the former Nine West shoes, which closed in July 2010.

A flurry of snow began gently falling in the neighborhood before 5 p.m. Wednesday, as Brooklyn Heights local Devan tries his best to catch a snowflake on his tongue along Montague Street. A dusting is expected as late as midnight, while Thursday brings a high of 46 degrees. Saturday’s low temp of 18 degrees may […]
