Raga, the Indian restaurant at 142 Smith Street, seems to have been replaced by Brick Lane, another Indian eatery. Though a banner announces the 'grand opening', perhaps this is just a new name for the same business. After all, the telephone number remains the same and the menu seems to be almost identical The prices, however, have gone up.To follow up, I recently got an email from Nitin Kaushik, Attorney-at-Law, stating:"I am an intellectual...

Rob has left the following comment on the post "Young Woman Attacked On Hoyt Street Near President Street Last Friday Night At 11:30 PM":"Remember, it was only a year ago last April that a woman was attacked and mugged on Carroll St between Bond and Hoyt sometime after 7 when there was still some daylight left.That section isn't desolate either. There always seems to be people walking their dogs late a night and people walking down President from...
"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em"from Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night"Though it had rained heavily off and on all day long, the skies cleared in time for last night's premiere of Smith Street Stage's production of 'Twelfth Night' in Carroll Park.

Yes, Carroll Gardens is one of the safest neighborhoods in the City, but it doesn't mean that one shouldn't be careful. The attack on a young woman on Hoyt Street right at the corner of President Street last Friday evening at around 11:30 PM shocked residents because of its brazen nature. Though Hoyt Street can be quiet at night, there are still lots of people walking around the neighborhood at that time of the evening.According to several block...
It's been a while since I checked in with stylist Brooke Hunt and her private hair studio The Bird House at 490 Court Street at the corner of Luquer Street here in Carroll Gardens. The salon is now just a bit over a year old and things have been going very well for Brooke. As a matter of fact, she just got some great news. She was just contacted by YELP because, as it turns out, The Bird House is one of the highest-rated salons on YELP in all...
