Lots of ‘em this week, since I’ve been slacking.

It’s time to check in with other local blogs and news sites to see what else is going on locally:
- One Greene Sushi not compensating its workers [The Local] (I have never liked their sushi, personally)
- $1 million price cut at 380 Clinton Ave [Brownstoner] (Imagine being able to make a million dollar price cut and still make a profit.)

- Three luxury cars stolen from DMK Garage on Waverly [The Local] (Damn, I used to park there! And you think your car is safer being parked inside. Though thankfully, my inherited 10-year-old car with manual crank windows and a cassette player is far from luxury)

- Choice Dumbo opens [Brownstoner] (look at all that seating! JEALOUS.)
Brownstoner alerted us to a brand new cafe at 395 Classon, that seems to occasionally be hiding behind papered windows.
One of my favorite photobloggers, Brandon King, has been inside and took some awesome shots:
See them all on his blog, word BK.
