Thank you for posting the info about my book discussion! If anyone missed it, please come and visit Aviva and me at http://www.Parentopia.net. I have a post about my own history in Brooklyn. I used to live in The Heights. I still cannot get over Gage and Tolner being a freakin’ Fridays!! ack!
I heard a rumor that a Starbucks may be opening on 5th ave around 17th or 18th street. This is by no means a reliable rumor, just hearsay, but has anyone else heard this??
That above post refers to the Thai restaurant going in at 14th and 7th Ave. Also, Perch is opening today.
< <--New Thai place going in on 7th between 13th and 14th on Seventh Avenue>>
It’s a second location for Rice Thai Kitchen. (Source: A Rice Thai Kitchen delivery person informed me of the second location on Friday night.)
I received confirmation that Floyd NY is opening up a 2nd bar in Park Slope, at 702 Union Street/5th Ave called Union Hall. I was told they hope to have it up and ready in mid to late January.
