The Lede

Happy Friday! We take a stroll down the endangered Promenade, a date turns fatal in Fort Greene, and Bay Ridge’s holiday lights give Dyker Heights a run for its money. Plus, a Brooklyn rapper sues a gaming company, a customer goes ham at a Bushwick bodega, and Jared Kushner pays $100,000 to Brooklyn Heights tenants. Finally, Heights residents threaten to suspend donations to Brooklyn Bridge Park, Christmas trees bound for the borough get held up at the Canadian border, and Brooklyn as we know it may be gone.
