Brooklyn Bridge Park Snow Sculpting Contests.

Since last week didn’t make the cut for sculpting snow, this Saturday may be the first day of this winter event, although the snow forecasted for today is supposed to only amount to an inch or so.  You never know.  If it doesn’t stick around until Saturday then there are a few other possible dates […]

Happy Pants Cafe getting a revamp.

Last week we saw that Happy Pants Cafe on Court Street (between Carroll and 1st Place), was shuttered and that they had a sign on their window.  They aren’t switching owners but they are changing some things around.  Not sure exactly what as the note didn’t say.  You can read it below.  Along with what […]

Send your sweetie a valentine at Brooklyn Farmacy.

Brooklyn Farmacy is doing this really cute thing for Valentine’s day.  Right now they have a red mail box on their counter, as you can see in their instagram pic, and paper hearts to write on.  You can make a valentine for someone special, drop it in the box and they will string it up […]

Coming to Gowanus. Royal Palms Shuffleboard Club.

Opening on Monday in a giant warehouse at 514 Union Street, is the Royal Palms Shuffleboard Club. Picture a hip bar and bowling alley but substitute the bowling lanes for shuffleboard lanes and there you have it.  Sounds like fun for sure and we’ll try it. This venture started as a kickstarter and with a […]

Brooklyn Hair Shop’s new location.

We passed a new salon at 331 Henry Street or what we thought was a new salon called Brooklyn Hair Shop.  Turns out this place actually just moved several blocks north of where it used to be, at 573 Henry.  We’d never noticed the old spot, between Summit and Carroll but it got really good […]

Gowanus Canal Conservancy annual fundraiser this Saturday.

The event is called Antifreeze 2014.  It starts at 7pm on the 25th of January at Ray Smith Studio (261 Bond Street and Degraw) and it’s going to be awesome. The GCC is a great organization and, we can tell you from experience, that this event last year was a lot of fun.  The night […]

Neighborhood Gift Shop closing on Court.

Classic Impressions, a gift and gift card shop that’s been at 296 Court for longer than we can remember, is closing it’s doors.  So sad to see a place that’s been a neighborhood staple close up shop.  As you can see from the pic above they are having a store wide “going out of business” […]

Lich Rally tomorrow.

Not sure how many of these flyers are around town and how much the word has spread about this rally.  We saw this sign right around the corner from the half-closed Long Island College Hospital.  Anyone interested in marching should meet at 339 Hicks and walk to the court house.  This is one of many […]

Writers Night hosted by Kristen Andreassen at Jalopy.

Sunday night at the Jalopy Theater, 315 Columbia Street, is an event called Writers Night.  It is a show not a workshop or anything like that.  The show did however come from a collaboration of a group of writers and other creative minds.  It’s described as “an evening of songs and other creations offered in […]

Bar San Miguel open in Carroll Gardens

This place really came out of nowhere.  We weren’t even aware Ciro’s, 307 Smith Street, closed. Bar San Miguel serves up tequila-based cocktails and a small but delicious sounding Mexican menu (below).  The prices are good.  From the looks of the sign “limited menu” we assume it’s more cocktails and small portion plates at this […]
