New Development: Lineage at 315 Greene Avenue
Posted on August 31, 2010 | No CommentsOn possibly the rainiest day this year we decided to do what felt like a marathon of open houses. My husband had suggested that perhaps we should stay in. I for some crazy reason that I can’t understand disagreed, “we’ll be mostly indoor anyways” I... -

New Development: 270 Greene Ave
Posted on August 29, 2010 | No CommentsWe weren’t expecting much from 270 Greene Ave. We had actually gone there the past weekend but missed the open house by 15 minutes. We did however get an eyeful of its cinder block exterior and surroundings. The abandoned liquor store on the corner, overgrown... -
Taking the Plunge
Posted on August 25, 2010 | No CommentsIt’s all bad news this week on the real estate front. Now that numbers for July are in ( post $8,000 tax credit) the monster has reared it’s ugly head. For those of you who haven’t heard, think 25.5% down, exceeding even the grimmest predictions. NYTimes... -
Coop: 209 Clinton Avenue
Posted on August 23, 2010 | 1 CommentWhen thinking over what kind of apartment we wanted to buy in NYC invariably coops were discussed. We quickly dismissed them since neither of us were interested in running through the gauntlet of the board. Yet, we couldn’t help but notice some of the great... -
Browonstone: 204 Clermont Avenue
Posted on August 22, 2010 | 4 CommentsWe’ve been looking at almost exclusively new developments. Partially because that’s our preference, and partially because they seem to have the most open houses. But Brooklyn is not all about new developments, in fact new developments are almost the antithesis of Brooklyn. So this weekend... -
Belltel Redacted!
Posted on August 22, 2010 | No CommentsOne of my favorite blogs for all things decor, apartmentherapy recently did a cover on a Downtown Brooklyn apartment called “Gene’s Graphics & Color“. I flipped through the photos, and imagine my surprise when invariably I saw it closely resemebled the units at the Belltel.... -
Restaurant: Lobo Tex-Mex
Posted on August 20, 2010 | No CommentsI secretly suspect Lobo gets half of its traffic from people unwilling to wait for Joya. But that doesn't stop it from being good. -
Boerum Hill: The tale of two front doors
Posted on August 18, 2010 | No CommentsWe almost walked by this house without realizing it’s very unique feature. But once noticed, we felt it was something like a 3 legged unicorn, something special but also something not quite right. Even if we could get over the bunk doors there’s still the... -
Restaurant: Burger 67
Posted on August 17, 2010 | No CommentsWe passed Burger 67 a few times during our weekend tours of Fort Greene, and it’s always busy and smelling like something good. Finally, we decided to try it. It’s a nice sit down fast food joint. The staff is friendly and helpful. The wait...
