we were all a little awkward in junior high

The Brooklyn Based wrap up of bar activity nights. Fun stuff like spelling bees and name that tune. Also, hear people read from their teenage diaries at Cringe in Prospect Heights (on November 5!). I’ve been and let me tell you is it awkward, funny, touching, and makes you feel a bit better about your teenage self.

Billyburg beware

blakewhitman: I don’t usually feed into the culture of fear, but this is pretty important. I work at a school in my community called El Puente and we have been advised that the Bloods are having their initiation today. They actually have it every year at this time. However, the threat is very real today and they have said that they will be targeting young women. All the local schools have been...

I read this last night before bed. It’s a nice piece about Heath Ledger. Weird that he was so many places right near my world but I never saw him.

At No.7 (Brooklyn, Greene Ave)

mareen: Just had dinner/drinks with Luke, Amanda & Michael, Chrysanthe & Amit. The result: strong mixed feelings about the not-even-open-yet place, ready for reviews on several websites. No. 7 is beautiful inside, nice, cozy seating area in the front, beautiful wrap around bar, tables in the back with a rustic feel (indoor window boxes!) but the service leaves something to be desired....

Stay indoors!

Five people were just shot on Hanson Place in Fort Greene (right around the corner from the Atlantic Center). Yikes! Gothamist has the news. Update: Brownstoner said shots were fired in a barbershop.

Pizza is pizza, water is boiling*

Keith wrote about a pizza place, Motorino. It’s on Graham Ave. and was totally bumpin’ when I was there on a Thursday night. When I lived in the neighborhood the only places I ate were El Loco Burrito and Carmine’s Pizza and there was no dining scene to speak of. It’s gettin’ fancy now! The pizza is delicious, and, as the seminal blog Williamsburg is Dead notes,...

Where's the L train? See for yourself on the new... →

The L train used to suck, hardcore. It never ran! But now I’d say it’s one of the best lines (ok, true, I don’t suffer through the packed trains on the morning commute) since you always know when the next train is coming. In December, you will be able to see where all L trains are along the line (only at the Myrtle-Wycoff stop). Awesome!
