End of Summer Gardening Tips

Buying or Renting for the School Zone

Free Summer Concerts Ahead.

Celebrate Brooklyn, though we hate to admit it, is officially over. Saturday was the very last show at the Prospect Park Bandshell during this series and it almost feels like the end of summer.

We are thrilled to hear about this new class that starts tomorrow at Cora Dance in Red Hook (358 Van Brunt Street). We found out about the weekly event on their Instagram and wanted to […]
