We get so excited about holiday shopping at all the wonderful pop-up markets around this time of year. This Friday is the Brooklyn Collective Holiday Shopping Bazaar at 198 Columbia Street from 6pm-9pm and not only will they have a wonderful array of local vendors but Hoffman and Swinburne will be there too! For those […]
First of all, a big congratulations to Tina Fallon! 170 Hicks Street is officially “in contract”. This gorgeous condo had plenty of space and lovely details to highlight. The idea for staging here was to make this vast empty space feel more like home. See the “after” pic above and compare to the “before” […]
Bookworms of Crown Heights rejoice! Hullabaloo Books opened its doors in October 2013 and now they have moved to a new spot at 658 Franklin Avenue which has more space and light for their patrons. Hullabaloo was conceived by Michael De Zayas who owns Little Zelda, Two Saints, and Nagle’s Bagels. The bookstore was partially […]
Mermaids Garden is a CSF, which is like a CSA but members pick up different varieties of fish instead of fruits and veggies. There are multiple pick-up locations around Brooklyn. The Red Hook pick-up location has moved into our Van Brunt office on Saturday mornings from 10am-12pm for the colder months ahead. I talked to […]
Tina Fallon resides in Red Hook with her husband and two daughters. She loves her neighborhood and, like others who have written about Red Hook on our blog, she had a very hard time choosing between all the delicious food options! Morning: I like a dark roast coffee, which is hard to come by in […]
If you live in Red Hook or frequently visit you may have noticed the building at 387 Van Brunt Street that had been in poor shape for a while and was falling down. We recently noticed that renovations seem about complete. There is a storefront with brown paper covering the windows, as you can see […]
As a growing number of people are working remotely we have seen these co-working spots open up around Brooklyn. We all know, whether we work from home or not, the advantages and disadvantages of working from home. It’s not always the most productive place to be. An apartment asking to be cleaned, projects other than […]
101 Visitation is just at the corner of Van Brunt and Visitation, a great location near lots of shopping and restaurants. This commercial listing is priced so well for such a lovely space ($3600 for 2000 square feet!) that we decided to highlight it in our blog. We have no pictures of the inside yet. […]
We wanted to spread the word about this Cobble Hill Association meeting that will take place tonight at 7pm at PS 29. It is the fall general meeting but it’s an especially important one because of the topics involved and all of our input is welcome. The discussions will be primarily about the development proposals […]
We always love to share events or information regarding community input. There are sometimes opportunities for residents to share their thoughts about a project going on in and around their neighborhood but finding out about these opportunities is, often times, the difficulty. That’s why we try to spread the word when we hear about invitations […]
