Discussion (and larger image) here.
Rhodamine reports: “Looks like the C-Town on Washington (bet. Park and Prospect) has just decided to scrap the lunch meats section in favor of TONS OF BEER. Take that, meat! Time to go to C-Town and get tipsy!”
Is it 5 p.m. yet?
(And what are these guys thinking, anyway? There’s about 300 places on Washington Ave. to buy booze, not to mention the new-ish beer distributor down the street…)
From a CUNY student project page on Brooklyn Heights: “Montague Street was also a place for musicians where live music made Brooklyn Heights a destination for those seeking lively nightlife. Bob Dylan in his song “Tangled up in Blue” sings of the street’s lively cafes and air of revolution:”
“I lived with them on Montague Street
In a basement down the stairs
There was music in the cafes at night
And revolution in the air”
– “Tangled Up In Blue” – Blood On The Tracks (1975)

…in this week’s NY Metro, spinningpinwheel reports.
“Depending on how you look at it, Beast is either a not-strictly-Spanish tapas bar, an American bistro with a dark, pubby vibe, or a casual place to grab a burger and a beer over a spirited game of Tapper at the bar…” Read more…

Well, this one stumped me. Found it taped to the wall next to the laundromat at Underhill and Sterling. I was too intimidated by the handwritten warning to look inside. I came by the next day to find the box had been ripped from the wall and thrown in the garbage pile on the curb. Lizzie?

daniel asks: “Anyone know what’s going in on the corner of 5th & Union, right next to Beso? I can’t remember what was there before, but I passed by last week and the store has been gutted. Looks like something new is coming in soon.”

Over on D103.com: “There are really two sets of rules for picnics in Prospect Park, the formal rules and the informal rules.”
“Formal rules say permits are required for parties of 25 or more, no alcohol is allowed, and tables are first come, first serve.”
“The informal rules say permits are only required if you’re a monstrous family reunion or church group, alcohol is fine as long as you pour it into plastic Solo cups, and ‘first come first serve’ means ‘get there by 7 a.m.'”
