We came across this New York Times article last week and wanted to share the info with anyone who hasn’t heard the big news yet. The owners behind Frankies457 Sputino and Prime Meats on Court Street in Carroll Gardens, both named Frank, have some major plans for these spaces. Prime Meats will shut it’s doors […]
We could not have asked for a nicer day on Saturday, the day of the Southwest Brooklyn Fall Festival! Partly sunny but not too hot, it was lovely out. Local residents and visitors came out to the Columbia Waterfront District to make our little fair a great success. We’d like to thank Ruby’s House of […]

Here is another celebratory fall event […]
Another fall festival to look forward to is the huge street fair stretching several blocks down Atlantic Avenue.

So many new spots open up and go unnoticed in this area due to the vast turn over on Smith Street. We like to take some time to spotlight spaces that have opened in the last year, try them out, and report back. Brooklyn Pizza Market at 267 Smith has been open since last fall […]
We couldn’t find out exactly how long this new piercing studio and fine jewelry storefront had been open but walking past it was new to our eyes and their yelp reviews only date back a few months so we imagine they are very new to this space. Ahimsa which if looked up in the dictionary […]
When we passed this sign we peeked inside, took a couple photos, then went home and looked up exactly what Cryotherapy means. According to Wikipedia it’s “sometimes known as cold therapy, is the local or general use of low temperatures in medical therapy. Cryotherapy is used to treat a variety of benign and malignant tissue […]
The storefront at 233 Smith Street, which used to house an Uncle Louie Gs, is now something called MAPS, an acronym for Music, Art, Puppets, and Sound.
