The vintage diner most fondly remembered as Relish soon to be demolished

December 29, 2014 By Free Williamsburg

The pummeling continues. According to Brownstoner, the lovely diner on Wythe Ave (currently home to La Esquina) is about to be demolished to make room for, you guessed it, CONDOS. Ugh. We’re lukewarm on La Esquina, but have fond memories of Relish, one of Williamsburg’s best restaurants in the late 90s. New building applications were […]

Only 19 of 1,345 Promised Affordable Housing Units Built Since 2005 In North Brooklyn

May 24, 2013 By Free Williamsburg

It’s bad enough that we have to put up with eyesores like The Edge and the impending Greenpoint Landing, but this is disgraceful: Greenpointers: City lied about parks, ‘affordable housing’ The city has broken its promise to bring affordable housing to Greenpoint and Williamsburg and is letting developers run roughshod over the neighborhoods, pushing out […]

USPS Officially Declares Waterfront Less Cool

June 13, 2011 By J. Rachel Reyes

The zipcode change spans Bedford Avenue to the waterfront. The rest of us can still claim the uber-hip original gangsta 11211.  Represent, yo. – […]

Plans to revamp the old Domino Sugar Factory into shiny condos got a big stamp of approval yesterday when the City Planning Commision voted 13-0 in the developers’ favor.
