Cops Crack Down on Park Curfew
There was a time (we’re told) that quality of life in Cobble Hill meant a nice cold brew, a nice brisket sammich and the Mets on TV. Now it seems it means NO FUN FOR YOU. Or are we just over reacting to this item from the Brooklyn Paper:

Neighbors around the park, boxed in by Congress, Clinton, and Henry streets and the mews-like Verandah Place, complained of late-night carousing inside the park, leading to the police crackdown, according to a source in the 76th Precinct.
But one of the people snared in the dragnet said she and her husband were being quiet as mice and should not have been ticketed because their stroll was a victimless crime.

Well at least we’ll always have this Shakespeare’s Sister: Continue Reading →
