Toby’s Public House Opening on Columbia Street!

We have been waiting for this for what seems like years.  Wait,  it has been years!! It was back in 2014 when we discovered that this beloved neighborhood pizza restaurant, which opened a location on 6th Avenue a while ago and quickly became a favorite Park Slope spot, was opening a second location right next to our […]

Spotlight on Carroll Gardens Pet Grooming.

Isn’t it funny how you can walk down one street that you haven’t been down in a while and all of a sudden you glimpse a storefront that you could swear wasn’t there before and think that you’ve come across a grand opening then you find out it’s been open for a little over a […]

Velvette Brew Coming to Smith Street.

Formerly two spaces in one, a juice bar and Shelsky’s of Brooklyn, which moved up to Court Street near Atlantic, 251 Smith Street has had brown paper in the windows for a short while. We are now seeing signage! A small piece of paper has been put up in the window that announces a place […]
