Downtown Streets near Metrotech finally open

With the leaving of the Stock Exchange back office computers, the following streets are now open for car traffic. Entering Metrotech via Myrtle Ave, Duffield Street, Bridge Street, Lawrence Street and and exit to Jay Street. I for one, couldn't be happier.

Chef César Ramirez gets Michelin rating 2 Stars for Brooklyn Fare

"Brooklyn Fare opened a year-and-a-half ago in the base of 200 Schermerhorn, a luxury rental facilitated by the area's rezoning, and remains the only real option for proper groceries within the rising neighborhood. It's also said to serve the best meal — a $135 10-course tasting — in the borough. That's according to the Michelin Guide, which yesterday named the Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare — basically an 18-seat counter inside the grocery — a two-star restaurant."

Bed & Breakfast on Lawrence Street? Believe it.

Apparently, 3B Bed and Breakfast is, somewhat, open for business. This could become a great and inexpensive way to have a place for family to stay when visiting. Although, judging by the size and pricing, you will probably need to plan way ahead. Prices start at $28 a night. Come to think of it, the pricing worries me a bit. I don't want it to turn into a place where hookers are turning tricks. Sorry but I'm just being logical.
