This little stretch on Columbia street, which is on the Red Hook side when you cross the tunnel entrance and BQE, is really building up. Earlier this year a cute little cafe called Camila’s popped up (picture below) and now right across the street at 367 Columbia the sign above says that a pizza restaurant […]
What used to be a supermarket, and one that had been in the neighborhood for a while, 431 has transformed into something very different. We saw this Investors Bank awning up a couple of weeks ago. We don’t know how long it’s been up because their website doesn’t say much about it but we assume […]
It looks like there are a couple of storefronts behind the brown paper covering the windows at 527 Court Street. The newish building has 16 residential units and was built in 2010 but the storefronts below look like they have never been occupied. We now see a sign up in the window indicating that a […]
This controversial private school in Red Hook, at 556 Columbia Street, is still under construction though they have also opened for the school year. Eventually they will serve grades K-12 but are only serving up to 8 right now, as far as we know. It’s hard to believe, by the looks of the work being […]
We walked by this simple yet chic-looking storefront the other day at 488 Court Street. The first thing we noticed was their golden sign then the barber pole. After poking our noses in, though, we could tell that this was more of an upscale place. No $15 dollar haircuts here. Try $42 for a cut […]
The toy store at 369 Court Street has gone through a few incarnations. Giggles and Green years ago, then If I were a Toy… and the latest change is Runnin’ Wild Toys. You may know Runnin’ Wild already. They have a kids shoe store just a few blocks away at 276 Court. This is a […]
The new restaurant coming to 126 Union Street between Hicks and Columbia, formerly Brooklyn Southern and before that Lily’s, has a sign up (above pic) asking folks in the neighborhood to go to their facebook page and give them ideas for a menu. This particular spot hasn’t had the best luck with restaurants. It’s a […]
Whatever stage you are in of starting a business, just entertaining the idea or in the active early stages, this will be a very informative event. It’s part of the “Entrepreneur and Business Assistance Workshop” series at the Carroll Gardens Association (201 Columbia Street). Be there tomorrow at 5:30pm if you’re interested in learning more. […]
So much happened this summer. Ample Hills opened in Gowanus! That’s actually very exciting going into the colder months because now if you live in the Bococa area and have to say goodbye to the Brooklyn Bridge Park seasonal Ample Hills booth there is a pretty close option that’s open year round. We will miss […]
This is the second week this experimental theater company is performing in Red Hook. September 23rd-28th at the GBX terminals they perform on “the deck and rigging of a tall ship”. They warn that the content isn’t suitable for children. Though the fantastical photos (below) may suggest that it is similar to Cirque de Soleil, […]
