Post storm clean up procedures for small businesses.

Here is some information we received from NYC small business services we’d like to share with you.  Some of this is pre-storm prep, such as preparing for the high winds but much of it has to do with snow and ice removal.  Basically it goes through what business owners should do once the blizzard dies […]

Last minute blizzard prepping.

Hey all.  Hope everyone is snug in their homes or soon will be.  It’s starting to look pretty nasty out there already.  The wind is picking up and the snow is beginning to stick.  For those who still have to go out and run some errands (get food, etc;) most stores in the area are […]

Gymboree Play and Music coming to Gowanus/Park Slope.

We drove past this sign, at 365 4th avenue between 5th and 6th streets, the other day and snapped this quick picture.  You can’t tell from this pic but the space is huge.  It spans the entire block.  Gymboree Play and Music has classes for children ages 0-5 and with this amount of space kids […]

Looking ahead to the Generosity Brooklyn 5K run/walk.

This 5K charity run/walk will take place at the end of March.  We know some people like to plan ahead for these things so we thought we’d share it a bit early.  Also, just thinking about the end of March (the home stretch to good weather) was transporting out of these winter blues.  The 5K, […]

Argentinian and Brazilian restaurant coming to Carroll Gardens.

We saw this sign last week at 550 Court street, which used to be a French bistro called Pompette.  Though the restaurant got good reviews, it was open less than 2 years.  Hopefully the new tenants will do better.  The sign says the restaurant coming to this spot is called El Mate and will serve […]

Pics of our FAB banner

The FAB, or Fulton Area Business, Alliance has recently hung this banner that we sponsored on Fulton and we’re pretty psyched about it.  FAB is a wonderful organization dedicated to improving the Fulton area in so many ways.  Just read this list of from their website of all their accomplishments.  “FAB provides supplemental sanitation services; […]

New suit maker coming to Red Hook.

Realty Collective’s Mary Gaglio recently rented out a place on Visitation Place near Van Brunt Street to a gentleman who was planning on opening a business making suits.  This was a very recent lease signing but Mary seemed to think he’d open fairly soon.  As of a couple of days ago it looks like there […]
