“It’s early evening in mid-March, and a sharp “It’s early evening in mid-March, and a sharp breeze comes off the river as darkness sifts down on Greenpoint. The industrial atmosphere of this low-slung, working-class neighborhood in late winter is belied by 130 Franklin Ave., where the color and light emanating beyond the storefront’s classic black trim and glass facade beckons neighbors in to eat, drink and be happy in inclusive sophistication at Little Rascal.” Read the rest of Andrew Cotto’s latest “Little Rascal: An avant-garde neighborhood joint” article, which is linked in our bio.
“GREENPOINT — The New York State Public Servic “GREENPOINT — The New York State Public Service Commission issued a statement Thursday saying that Natural Grid’s gas vaporizers planned in Greenpoint are no longer necessary to meet peak demand. As a result, the commission denied the company’s petition seeking cost recovery for the project.” Read the rest of our “NY rejects National Grid’s fracked gas vaporizers in Greenpoint” article, which is linked in our bio.
“The despised scaffolding — aka “sidewalk sh “The despised scaffolding — aka “sidewalk shed” — blighting the landmarked Hotel Bossert at 98 Montague St. in Brooklyn Heights is finally coming down, thanks to Councilmember Lincoln Restler’s office in concert with the New York City Department of Buildings. The scaffolding has been up for two and a half years, blocking views of the stately columns, lovely arches and dozens of lions heads for which the elegant hotel is known.” Read the rest of Mary Frost’s latest “A new (and brighter) day may be dawning for Brooklyn’s Hotel Bossert” article, which is linked in our bio.
“BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — A striking historical reno “BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — A striking historical renovation in the colorful Fruit Street District of Brooklyn Heights has won a prestigious Lucy G. Moses Preservation Award. The New York Landmarks Conservancy will announce several winners of this award later this spring. A unique building at 23 Cranberry St., formerly the home of world-famous sculptor John Rhoden, has been renovated for the Asia Art Archive in America by noted architect Ben Baxt, a longtime resident of Cobble Hill and co-founder of the firm Baxt Ingui.” Read the rest of our “Renovation of Brooklyn Heights archive for Asian art wins preservation award” article, which is linked in our bio.
