The building at 215 Union Street, which you may know from the awning outside that says “Royals”, was on the market for quite a while until recently. We noticed several weeks ago that the “for sale” sign was down and work was being done on the place. Very exciting. We love the little porch area […]
We stopped by the new Francesco’s the other day. It was packed on a weekday around lunchtime. They are doing well! Sorry that the pics are a little out of focus but it was dark and people were moving around. You get the idea. The new look is great and even though they were busy […]

You may ask yourself, “do we need another nail salon?”, as we did when we walked by the new place opened at 354 Court the other day. That’s an excellent question, although the others in the area seem to be doing pretty well. So, maybe we did need another. Regardless, it’s here. The spot had […]
Check out this video of the Red Hook Brooklyn Maker’s Market. The event, which was at the beginning of December at Atelier Roquette, featured the work of local artists, designers, and craft makers who live or work in Red Hook. It was a great turn out and a lot of fun. This video spends a […]
We saw this flyer a couple of days ago and, intrigued, snapped a pic so that we’d remember to look it up. Pickles? Jazzy pickles? Jazzy pickles from Brooklyn? Hmmm.
