The space at 445 Court Street in Carroll Gardens is looking a lot sleeker than it has in years but it’s still serving up the same type of food…pizza! Formerly Vinny’s Pizzeria, the current tenants at this storefront have done a nice job of revamping the outside and inside of the new Via Roma Pizza Bar. […]
This week is winter break for New York City schools and parents and caregivers may be trying to figure out activities for their little ones. The library is always a a haven for people wanting to save their money while enjoying the unique and fun programs for their kids. Tomorrow, at Carroll Gardens Library, you can […]
While browsing records at the new Almost Ready Record shop at 135 Huntington in Carroll Gardens we noticed that right next door is a cozy little space with a couple of signs in the window announcing the opening of a new cafe. There was no one working at the moment to ask more about the storefront […]
Almost Ready Records, at 135 Huntington St, opened up at the beginning of the year and we’ve checked it out and give it two thumbs up! When we glanced at the new space we originally thought it was declaring that this record store was “almost ready” as in “coming soon”. But we soon discovered our mistake. Like […]
For anyone looking for rich and one of a kind details this 2 bedroom/2 bathroom apartment in Carroll Gardens had plenty. The landlords were offering the home furnished or unfurnished and the space had plenty of closets. The stunning library/dining room (above) alone would be a selling point for many looking at this parlor and […]
We were walking by this Tapas Bar the other day and thought it may be new to the area. Smith street has so many spots coming and going that it sometimes hard to keep up. Well, it’s been at 247 Smith Street for about a year now, replacing People’s Republic of Brooklyn. The menu looks […]
We passed a bar at 517 Court Street that we’d never seen (or never noticed) before called The Watershed. It’s quite large so we assumed we’d have noticed it before. As you can see in the photo it’s the storefront of a new building and has nice big windows spanning the whole space. You can […]
A new spa opened up on Sackett Street (between Smith and Hoyt). It’s called Maggie’s Spa and from the looks of the inside it seems they are set up primarily for manicures and pedicures, though they offer more on their menu. Brazilian wax, hair cuts, facials, and more appear on their sign. It is a […]
Though the new year, weather, and political climate have definitely contributed to a lot of folks feeling melancholy lately we’ve had our minds on another addition to this list of sadness. The closing of so many great shops, restaurants and venues. We blogged over the last couple of weeks about both Cake Shop and BookCourt […]
BookCourt was our favorite independent book shop and not just because they were in the neighborhood. The people that worked there were very informed and gave great recommendations, the atmosphere was peaceful, and they had wonderful weekly events. They were a part of a tight knit community and many will feel the loss of this […]
