The soon-to-open Luna Park, complete with the Eye Of Sauron attraction.
Hey, y’all. I took a sick day from the blog yesterday. Here’s your friendly, neighborhood South Blogistan.
- I’m guessing ya probably heard by now, but New York Magazine rated the 50 most livable NYC neighborhoods. Bay Ridge (#12) was the highest-rated South Brooklyn neighborhood. Also representing are Sheepshead Bay (#27), Brighton Beach (#30), Sunset Park (#39). The BK Southie editor’s girlfriend’s neighborhood was listed at #5, while the BK Southie editor’s own neighborhood inexplicably did not crack the Top 50. (NY Magazine)
- Opening Day in Gerritsen Beach, Little League style. (GerritsenBeach.net)
- Construction work is taking place at the future Luna Park site day and night. Will the new park be Astroland 2.0? More importantly, is that a good thing or a bad thing? (Amusing The Zillion, Kinetic Carnival)
- Speaking of Coney Island, Lola Star has a pretty good summary of what to expect event/programming-wise on the Rabbit’s Isle. (Lola Star’s Diary)
- The Sheepshead Bay satellite of Cafe Glechik is putting on some finishing touches. (Sheepshead Bites)
- Also, where to get Italian food in Sunset Park. Or where to avoid Starbucks. (The Sunset Park Blog)
- Asser-Levy amphitheater update: it’s going to hog up pretty much the whole park. Community Board committee meeting on Wednesday! (Sheepshead Bites)
- GBCares membership drive. Right, here. (GerritsenBeach.net)
