About a month ago, while we were waiting for it to feel like spring, we were fantasizing about mid-May.

The Vision Zero program through the New York Department of Transportation has hosted these bike fitting and give away events in the past and we are so pleased to see this continuing. As we watch many a biker ride by us without helmets and think to ourselves how dangerous that is, the DOT is making […]
It seems as though we have skipped spring entirely and are heading right into summer weather. It’s going to be in the 80’s for the next couple of days! While some folks are upset about this, it’s making us dream of summer nights in New York. Outdoor films, dining al fresco and free summer concerts! […]
Folks visiting from out-of-town are always surprised to hear that Green-wood Cemetery puts on events. From film screenings to evening parties to family activities, this space is more than a cemetery. It is a place to learn about Brooklyn history and also just a beautiful site that neighboring residents think of as a park at […]
