“For decades, work on a massive rail project has “For decades, work on a massive rail project has been grinding 15 stories below the shuffling footsteps of millions of New Yorkers and beneath the East Hudson River and Manhattan skyscrapers. After years of delays and massive cost overruns, the enormously expensive railway project shuttled its first passengers Wednesday from Long Island to a new annex in New York City’s iconic Grand Central Terminal.” Read the rest of our “Light at the end of the tunnel: Grand Central annex opens” article, which is linked in our bio.
“PARK SLOPE — Context: “Tutt’appost” is “PARK SLOPE — Context: “Tutt’appost” is Neapolitan dialect for “Tutto a posto” – the Italian expression that “all is in place.” All was not in place at Tutt’Appost. Three 30-something friends in New York, with respective Neapolitan connections, opened their dream restaurant on 5th Avenue in Park Slope. The idea was to showcase their shared passion and expertise with both inventive Neapolitan cuisine and charismatic hospitality.” Read the rest of Andrew Cotto’s “Tutt’Appost: Where all is in place” article, which is linked in our bio.
“COBBLE HILL — With balloons, a ribbon-cutting “COBBLE HILL — With balloons, a ribbon-cutting ceremony and author signing, Barnes & Noble officially opened its new Cobble Hill location at 194 Atlantic Ave. on Wednesday morning. The bright new book emporium, which occupies the site’s ground floor and lower level, is just west of Trader Joe’s, at the space formerly occupied by Barneys.” Read the rest of Mary Frost’s “Brooklyn’s newest Barnes & Noble bookstore opens in Cobble Hill” article, which is linked in our bio.
“DUMBO — Commuters who use the York Street sub “DUMBO — Commuters who use the York Street subway station in DUMBO call the crowded F train stop a disaster waiting to happen, and are upping the pressure on MTA to construct a second exit. But the station is low on MTA’s list of priorities, residents and officials heard at a town hall held via Zoom, organized by Councilmember Lincoln Restler on Jan 9.” Read the rest of Mary Frost’s “DUMBO’s York Street subway station won’t be improved anytime soon” article, which is linked in our bio.
