New York Times: The Ghosts of Clinton Street: NORA GERAGHTY and Dan Kahn moved into the four-story brick house on Clinton Street in the summer of 2001, a week after graduating from college. By day, their life resembled that of any young couple in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn: coffee from a patisserie on Court Street and commutes on the F train to entry-level jobs in Manhattan.That was by day.By night, the couple retreated to a world suspended in time, a house in which virtually nothing had changed in the hundred or so years since a construction crew had arrived at the door bearing a supply of the miraculous invention known as electrical wiring.Ms. Geraghty’s great-great-great-grandmother bought the house at 312 Clinton Street for $4,000 in 1866. At the time, an outhouse stood in the backyard and horses were quartered next door. For the next 140 years, a period spanning Brooklyn’s consolidation with New York, the family discarded practically nothing: not the trunks of hand-woven bedspreads and frilly Victorian undergarments, not the boxes of handwritten grocery receipts dating to the 1880s, not the chunks of petrified laundry starch now piled in a 19th-century beer pail called a growler.

Gothamist talks to Sweet Melissa Patisserie‘s Melissa Murphy:
What neighborhood do you live in? Pros/Cons? I live in Cobble Hill Brooklyn. Chris and I LOVE it. Unfortunately we rent, my kitchen is terrible, and I don’t have a dishwasher, so cooking at home (which I LOVE to do) is a chore.
I am so “pro neighborhoodâ€, someday when I buy a house I would be lucky to live in either Park Slope or Cobble Hill. I also love Brooklyn Heights, and Fort Greene /Clinton. I hope to have stores their someday. I like for my stores to be in neighborhoods, I strive for local involvement. We get a lot of donation requests, so we decided to focus on the public schools in the stores’ area. I love that mutual support.

amNew York: Downtown Bar and Grill: Customers love to bring their canine pals to play in this Brooklyn bar’s outdoor patio. With an impressive selection of over 750 bottles and a dozen drafts, this Cobble Hill gem specializes in beer, as well as a more upscale version of traditional American bar food. Usually the owner, his wife or daughter tends to the bar, and regular beer enthusiasts often come in to talk beer. A customer favorite is the Ayinger Brau-Weis, a light wheaty beer.
NY1: For days, and possibly as long as three weeks according to some, an Audi SUV parked in the middle of a bus stop at the corner of Union and Henry Streets in Cobble Hill had neighbors scratching their heads.
“It has just been sitting there. Nobody knows anything about it,†said a neighbor.
…Police say the Audi was involved in an October shooting in Red Hook that left a 26-year-old man dead. Detectives had collected evidence from it and were storing it on the street, just a block from the precinct station house. [Full Story Video]
