I've called all the numbers on those fliers. They've all taken my information down and not a single damn thing has changed. I still get all that trash. It's bad for the environment.

I always laugh, kinda, when I see the writing that says "This is not a toilet"

Disgusting. Absolutely disgraceful.

It's a narrow little street and often overlooked. That's why mom and pop shops can afford to rent there. However it gets a lot of traffic from people crossing over to Flatbush.

I love that section of Bergen.
City Sub (the best!) and on the other side of 5th ave is, I believe, Black Sheep Pub.
The makings for a beautiful afternoon.

I was thinking more of the bookstore, bump and city sub. I don't know much about the other store.

On a side note, the owners of Black Sheep are also the people behind the New Tapas place on that corner.

Are you kidding, Hipsters are the ones snagging these prime RS apartments. :-P
I know a few youngsters with nice Manhattan jobs in RS apartments. I know even more that are currently paying brokers to get into some.

The front is a nice olive color. I walked by yesterday to look at the menu and the lady (I assume owner) of the place came out to say hi.
The place seems nice. Give it a chance, it just opened this week. Go and try the food before you slam it.

Ads, ads, everywhere an ad...

Chipshop knew best how to use that spot. Outdoor seating and open fun atmosphere. Too bad they picked the wrong side to close down.

I'm going to miss Lido too. There's some cool vintage stores around there and it was always nice to get a cocktail after shopping around the area. Buy backs were great. I guess there's still Moonshine and that bookstore that sells beer. Mummm...used books and beer
