THE LEDE: Happy Friday, Brooklyn! The driver of a fatal Park Slope crash is charged, we travel to Caton Park, and the borough’s soon-to-be tallest building begins to rise. Plus, Airbnb is causing rents to increase in North Brooklyn, a car explodes on the BQE, and a 40-story tower on the Greenpoint waterfront moves forward. Finally, Brooklyn-born Jay Z gets subpoenaed, St. Mary’s Playground reopens in Carroll Gardens, and we share the 13 best Caribbean restaurants in the city. Have a great weekend.
