Closing Bell: The New Yorker's Nod to Brooklyn
Check it out! Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Thursday movie series made the cover of this week’s New Yorker. If you saw this cover already, by the way, and you didn’t recognize immediately that this is a rendering of the weekly movie screening in Dumbo, then you have clearly been spending your Thursday evenings poorly.

it wasnt a joke. 🙁 do you write for it?
and yes intelligent writing usually does indicate snobbiness
*rob*
it is a far cry from snobby. intelligent, unfussy writing does not equal snobby. also not pricey given the amount of content. i hope that was a joke.
Its like $1 an issue if you subscribe.
The cartoons are good.
It’s also kind of pricey.
seriously? that sounds so dumb. that magazine is very snobby though in general (thus my riff-raff comment).

The story is not about the movie series. It’s about some unknown character auctioning off the Brooklyn Bridge to the remaining pool of home buyers (shown in rendering above, population 137). A $10,000 cash deposit was required at entry and assigned to numbered cards. I didn’t read the story but I heard the “deed” went for over $100,000. Last week’s biggest sale for bridges.

DIBS, even if the bar is in Williamsburg???? 🙂
free movie screenings in the park where you have to sit on the ground is so beyond riff-raff it aint funny
