Free “Liveable Neighborhoods” workshop at Pratt

This day long workshop series at Pratt’s Manhattan campus (144 West 14th Street) is free and spots will probably fill up quickly so we thought we’d share the info with you early.  The days events are designed to give you the knowledge and resources to build your communities resilience and increase it’s livability.  MAS, who […]

Our Brooklyn Museum Pinterest board.

Brooklyn Museum is just one more reason why we never feel the need to leave our amazing borough.  This museum is vast, gorgeous, and not at all crowded on the weekdays.  We took some pictures last time we were over there and also pinned some of our favorite exterior shots to create this new Pinterest […]

Animal groomer moves from Sackett to Court Street.

Animal Loving Care, a “groovy grooming studio”, was a really cute little pet care facility on Sackett Street between Hicks and Henry.  We just saw that their storefront windows were covered and they had a sign posted last week that they’ve moved locations.  The new place, at 556 Court between 9th and Garnet, is a […]

An afternoon with Elvis Monday at Carroll Gardens Library.

All are welcome at this unique library event on Monday afternoon at the Carroll Gardens branch on Clinton and Union Streets.  We saw this sign posted outside the library a few days ago and, although it doesn’t specify what will actually go on during the event, our imaginations are running wild.  An impersonator perhaps??  At […]

Free Bargemusic family concert this Saturday.

This sounds like a lovely Saturday afternoon event at Brooklyn Bridge Park.  Doors open at 2:30 for the 3pm concert, it’s free and the program is announced at the performance.  What an affordable (free!) and spontaneous way to beat the winter blues.  This event is at the Fulton Ferry Landing and is every Saturday between […]

Pre-K deadline extended.

We just got word that the deadline to apply for public Pre-K, which was previously early April, has been extended to April 23rd.  We’ve heard a lot of talk about the expansion of the Pre-K program and so many parents have been hopeful that it would happen.  Here’s a little more hope for everyone.  The […]

Check out our Pinterest Brooklyn Curb Appeal Board.

We started our Brooklyn Curb Appeal board on Pinterest months ago and have been collecting pictures of our favorite entrances and doors.  Mostly around the Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill and Red Hook neighborhoods.  Walking around these neighborhoods and seeing the different, unique, and colorful doors makes us remember why we love Brooklyn.  One […]

New daycare in Cobble Hill.

There were a lot of folks checking out this new daycare, called Cobble Hill Pollitos (little chickens), during their open house on Saturday.  In an area where child care is in very high demand it’s no surprise that they had a lot of foot traffic.  The place, as you can see below, is on the […]

New Mexican-Urban cuisine on Montague.

There’s a new restaurant on the ever-changing Montague street and it’s called Gallitos Kitchen.  Their website describes the food they serve as “Mexican Urban Cuisine” and from the pics we saw on yelp (below) it looks delicious.  It sounds pretty good too as they’ve been getting good reviews.  They’ve been around for a couple of […]

New urgent care walk-in clinic on Court.

With the partial closure and probable full closure of LICH looming over us, it’s not surprising that these clinics seem to be popping up around the neighborhood recently.  On Atlantic and Boerum Place is the recent pediatrics clinic that’s been open for less than a year now.  We spotted this sign in the window of […]
