Sorry I didn’t know in advance, but there was a Clinton Hill Street Fair on Saturday, on Clinton between Willoughby and Myrtle. Looked like some residents selling tasty food, some clothing and jewelry for sale, and a stage with live performances. And, look who I met!
Borough Prez Marty Markowitz! He was super friendly and meeting and greeting CH residents. Personally, I’m anti-Atlantic Yards, but I’ll give it up for Marty for his Brooklyn spirit and his ability to be everywhere for everything Brooklyn. He also said he’s proud that we’re the Bloggiest neighborhood in the country!
Thanks for stopping by, Marty!
He was on stage right outside our office window. I could have hit him with a water balloon. haha
I wish you could have taken marty around the Hill maybe down fulton from Clinton to Classon, that portion of Fulton is absurd, to see how long it has taken ConEd and all the sub contractors to destroy sidewalks and streets and then abandon them for months is absolutey ridiculous, its been almost 2 yrs since they started digging up Fulton, you should have cornered marty, I know its nice up clinton but down by fulton we have it rough.
Apparently we have restaurants and stores galore opening up, Tamboril in the old porn shop on Myrtle and Il Torchio also on Myrtle next to Joseph Tyler Salon. You can def catch up by having lots o food in the ‘hood. We’ve also got Little Piggy Market next to the Smoke Joint.
anyone have any additional info on when Tamboril or Il Torchio will open?
I was told by someone working in Il Torchio that they were shooting to open early August but they’re not open yet.
Check out this NY Mag piece on Il Torchio:

You have to luv Marty Markowitz and his endless energy. He is someone who never tires of talking.
that fat slob jerk! i hope he had fun promoting his BS.
