Walking the CIty with @mosesNYC

Moses Gates has finished his walk around NYC – so, what’s next?

A Week to Celebrate Henry Miller’s Brooklyn Connections

City Reliquary, Videology, Spike Hill and Music Hall of Williamsburg are all part of a week-long celebration of author Henry Miller, whose childhood home is now part of the Fillmore Place Historic District.

Bushwick Mall

Bushwick Daily has pictures from a Massey Knakal brochure marketing a proposed “Bushwick” Mall on Bogart Street in East Williamsburg. It’s not really clear if Massey Knakal is marketing the property (i.e., trying to entice someone to develop it) or if they are trying to market the project (i.e., someone is already planning to build this and is looking for tenants). Either way, this project seems to be more about the Bushwick Hotel than the Bushwick Mall.

Bus to Connect Williamsburg and DUMBO via Brooklyn Navy Yard

New bus route to run through the Navy Yard. Worth the fare just for a tour of the yard.

RIP, Pablo

Very sad to report that Pablo, owner of Sweetwater, has passed away after a long illness. One of the sweetest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.

It’s Much More Local than Williamsburg

Whatever that means – I guess anything in Greenpoint is more local to Greenpoint than Williamsburg.

Sometime pretty soon, development along West Street is going hit. And when that happens, Greenpoint (this section at least) is going to look a hell of a lot like Williamsburg. And like Long Island City.

Restoration of Keramos Hall

Keramos Hall has been getting a lot of accolades and awards for its recent restoration, and rightfully so. Untapped New York has a great collection of photos – it is almost possible to ignore the CVS.

Bushwick Bars Given Midnight Curfew on Sundays by Community Board

Suddenly, CB4 in Bushwick seems to going through a lot of the growing pains that CB1 went through 10 years ago or more. Around that time, CB1 tried to institute a moratorium on all new liquor licenses in the Northside (yes, nightlife was once primarily restricted to the Northside). That had no effect, and it is pretty much guaranteed that Sunday curfews will have the same effect.

If CB4 wants to control hours or other aspects of operations, they need to negotiate those restrictions with new licensees and get those restrictions into the methods of operation of the liquor licenses. Just say no doesn’t work with SLA.
