Guess Who Made The Latest Best Of List?

Somewhere between the Best Place to Trespass and the Best Industrial Zone on the Downtown Star's recent list was one entry that made us blush. Just a little. See if you can find it.
The Best of Brooklyn [Downtown Star]
Breakfast Porn, Puppet Libraries and More [Brooklyn Record]

Congrats!

And BTW: Can we please have someone ban using the phrase "DoBro". And I thought that BOCOCA http://www.brooklynnow.com/bococa/index.html was bad.

Crouchback, the general borders of CH North are Atlantic Ave, Bedford Ave Eastern Parkway and Kingston Ave, give or take a few ins and outs. The historic district would have been enormous, so LPC broke it down into 3 phases. The first phase covers the parts of CHN they felt were most in danger of developer encroachment and overdevelopment, and does not actually cover many of the finest blocks, architecturally speaking. Most of the Phase 2 and 3 blocks have no abandonment, few, if any empty lots, no apartment buildings on the verge of collapse, etc, that would be easy targets for inappropriate development. The first phase looks like an old gerrymandering map, but basically covers Pacific Street to Bedford, parts of St Mark's over to Kinston, back to Pacific St, whith large chunks both in the new designation and out of it. I believe they were going to post a map on the LPC website.
