North Brooklyn Restaurant round-up: Sushi on Jones, Pizzette, and more

Sushi on Jones is coming to Williamsburg in November.

After a lot of false starts, Evil Twin is FINALLY opening on the Ridgewood/Bushwick border tonight.

Evil Twin beers are available in 35 U.S. states and […]

MTA releases new subway map to detail the L train’s ‘partial shutdown’ plan

The delays have already begun, but now the MTA has a detailed map that outlines what to expect from now through summer 2020: With the revised approach, L customers will have normal service during the highest ridership times.

Brooklyn’s own Rafael Espinal stepping up for the whole city

You might know Rafael Espinal as the City Council Member from Brooklyn who repealed the “no dancing” Cabaret Law and established the Office of Nightlife. Maybe you’ve heard about his work to reduce the plastic pollution in our oceans and parks by banning plastic straws. Or maybe you’ve met him around Brooklyn, where he can […]

North Brooklyn renters saved tons with rent reductions from the bogus L Train shutdown

If the MTA follows through on Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s new proposal to avert the long-dreaded L train shutdown, renters who signed leases in the affected area over the last year will be the biggest winners.

Draft of service changes leaked, revealing aspects of Cuomo’s L Train plan

We’re all pretty excited that the L Train shutdown has been cancelled, but that doesn’t mean Cuomo’s plan will be completely painless. Streetsblog has obtained an early draft of planned service changes. Keep in mind that this is a draft and MTA officials, in fact, were not happy that the blog published the memo. Still, […]

Not so fast… Cuomo says MTA board has to vote on his clumsily-announced plan

Not so fast… Cuomo says MTA board has to vote on his clumsily-announced plan

Clearly, the MTA, DOT and Cuomo are just trying to drive us insane. What’s more, there’s no meeting planned until the end of the month: Cuomo is calling on the MTA board to hold an emergency public meeting to hear the proposal and decide whether to pursue the plan, which would reduce a 15-month full […]

News about L Train brings joy followed by anger and confusion

With yesterday’s announcement that the L Train shutdown has been cancelled, most of us affected have gone from feeling shock, to joy, to confusion.

Cuomo is shutting down the L Train shutdown!

January 3, 2019 By Robert Lanham

Cuomo is shutting down the L Train shutdown!

We need one of those red sirens the Drudge Report uses. In a press conference today, Cuomo announced that he will be halting the L Train shutdown in favor of a piecemeal approach to the repairs that will keep the line running. We’re not sure why it took him so long to assess the MTA’s […]
