La Traviata in Brooklyn Heights – Kaput?
BHB reader “Jeff” send us this observation: Comments: Looks like La Traviata on Montague Street closed suddenly — lights are out, “Closed” sign in window, menu gone from street board, some fixtures (flat-screen TV) gone from front wall, phone disconnected. Can you guys check it out? Indeed, the phone is disconnected and they are no […]
Shortcut Opened in Brooklyn Bridge Park
The travel distance between Pier 1 and Pier 6 in Brooklyn Bridge Park just got shorter, and walkers, runners and bikers no longer have to skirt the speedy traffic on the now two-way Furman Street between Montague and Joralemon, as a new pedestrian and bike path (photo) has been opened from behind the MTA ventilating […]
Art at Hanco’s – Racy or Awesome?
No doubt that Hanco’s [147 Montague Street] is a super-fantastic addition to Brooklyn Heights. Nothing beats their classic Vietnamese sandwich or, if you’re so inclined, the Bubble Tea. But we’ve noticed something there that seems oddly out of place, the huge mural facing the counter. Now, we don’t know nothin’ ’bout fancy art but the […]

Gandhi Palace Opens Tuesday (9/20)
As BHB commenter “Nancy” pointed out in last week’s OTW: With the advent of all new restaurant opoenings in Brooklyn Heights comes another one-”Ghandi Palace”[sic].

A Night at Oh, My Pasta!
Success can be a double-edged sword. Despite the existence of four other Italian spots within a block, when my wife and I stepped in to Oh! My Pasta, the new restaurant at 142 Montague St (the old TAZE space), it was filling up rapidly, and didn’t have a table to spare by 8 PM. Pretty […]
