We’ve recently added a few categories.  We’ve got a board on Prospect Park as well as Brooklyn Bridge Park on their now.  Lots of beautiful pictures taken of these expansive parks and all the different areas they encompass.  The new Lakeside and Le Frak center is on their as well as the new Pier 2 […]

New Asian sandwich shop on Smith Street.

This place looks delicious!  Check out their menu.  Oh, we hope it tastes as good as it looks.  It’s always a good sign when you see a small menu.  They aren’t trying to over stretch their limits and instead are keeping it simple.  Not to say that the unique blend on ingredients on these sandwiches […]

Florida Restaurant Roccos Tacos to open soon in Brooklyn.

Floridians we’ve talked to have some pretty good things to say about this Taco and Tequila bar.  Rocco’s Tacos has several locations around south Florida and now they will be opening up shop in Downtown Brooklyn.  They’ve had some delays opening but are expected to open their doors very soon. Downtown Brooklyn is growing so […]

Moving in to our new home.

I thought this was going to be my final blog of my home buying and renovations experience but it’s such a mess with the move and all that I wanted to post one more official after pics blog.  Hopefully next week.  Here are some moving in pics, though. You can see more on our Pinterest.  […]

Met foods closing on Smith Street.

Not too surprising that this Met Foods on Smith Street is closing.  It’s not nearly as nice as the Met on Henry. It always seemed a little dirty and dank and they didn’t have a lot of organic options.   There is no shortage of grocery stores in the area with all the better choices, […]

Shelskys moved to Court Street.

Shelsky’s of Brooklyn, which had opened in a small space on Smith Street in the last couple years or so, serves up smoked fish, bagels and other house made goodies.  On our way to Trader Joes the other day we noticed that there was a Shelsky’s right across the street at 141 Court.  They haven’t […]

Wilma Jean serves fried chicken on Smith Street.

Hadn’t heard about this before but apparently the owners of Seersucker and Nightingale 9 have made some changes.  Nightingale 9 moved into the Seersucker spot and their new place, Wilma Jean, has moved into the old Nightingale 9 spot.  So, Seersucker is no longer.  This came as a surprise to us.  That place was delicious!  […]

Last night for Richard Pryor triple play is tonight.

Due to rain we had to postpone “The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings” that was scheduled for July 15th.  So tonight is the night.  It’s the last night of this three movie series.  It’s been fun.  Good crowds, good movies. We were so happy to be a part of FABflicks. We’ve been giving […]

Home Renovations: Part 7

This will be my second to last blog about these renovations because by Thursday (hopefully!) work will be complete and we’ll be moving in on Friday.  I’ve included these latest pics that I took on Friday.  The bathroom is nearly finished.  Wainscoting is complete, sink is in and it’s all painted (below).  Just waiting for […]

New Farm-to-table restaurant on Columbia Street.

New developments are popping up in the Columbia Waterfront District and new businesses as well.  At 257 Columbia Street, which used to be a postal shop, a farm-to-table restaurant named Orchard has been open for only a few weeks.  This type of locally sourced trend is seen all over Brooklyn but there isn’t too much […]
