Linda Price+FollowBrooklyn’s cheese legacy: Salvatore’s family-first storySalvatore Salzarulo’s journey from a small Italian bakery to co-founding Brooklyn’s beloved Lioni Latticini is a testament to the power of family and resilience.

His legacy isn’t just in award-winning cheese, but in the warmth and loyalty he inspired. How do you think family values shape local businesses today? #Business #Brooklyn #FamilyBusiness00Share

Linda Price+FollowBrooklyn bagel shop cuts costs with smart batteriesBlack Seed Bagels in Brooklyn is quietly slashing its electric bills by plugging in suitcase-sized batteries to power its ovens and fridges during peak hours.

Sean Clark+FollowBrooklyn’s new MTA gates face viral challengeTurns out the MTA’s high-tech fare gates aren’t as foolproof as promised—just ask Brooklyn’s own Kiingspiider, who’s racked up millions of views showing creative ways to bypass them (sometimes in a Spider-Man suit!). While the MTA calls these stunts “minor league trolling,” Kiingspiider says it’s about more than just going viral—he wants the city to focus on subway safety and service, not just expensive new gates. With the MTA piloting these gates at 20 stations, it’s clear riders are putting them to the test. What do you think: Is this a wake-up call for better priorities, or just internet antics? #Transportation #Brooklyn #MTA00Share
Brad Caldwell+FollowBrooklyn’s tallest penthouse sits emptyA $16.75 million penthouse soaring 92 stories above Downtown Brooklyn is still looking for a buyer, even after a month on the market. With only 19 out of 143 luxury condos sold in the Brooklyn Tower since 2022, the building’s sky-high views haven’t been enough to fill its halls—residents are calling it a “ghost town.” It’s wild to think that such a prime spot, with sweeping views of the city and top-tier design, remains empty. What do you think is keeping buyers away? Is it the price, the vibe, or something else? #RealEstate #Brooklyn #NYC00Share
Leah Gonzales+FollowFlatbush’s $2.5M retail mystery: Fenty’s empty storeRihanna’s Savage x Fenty shop at 182 Flatbush Ave has been sitting dark for two years, racking up $2.5 million in rent for a storefront that’s still boarded up and snowed-in. Locals remember the spot as Triangle Sports, a no-frills gear shop that actually made more money than the glitzy brand that replaced it. Meanwhile, the landlord’s only real trouble? A few fines and a mortgage extension. With Brooklyn retail bouncing back around Barclays Center, it’s wild to see such a prime space just gathering dust. What do you think is holding up Fenty’s debut—and is this just the new normal for big-name retail? #Entertainment #Celebrity #Brooklyn00Share
