I bought Brian’s book and I love it. He signed it for me at Green Brooklyn not long ago. The old photos of the neighborhood are amazing including one of the BQE just beginning construction. I highly recommend! His book on Williamsburg is great also.
so what the heck happened on saturday? there were literally two vendors there…..i felt so bad for them!
Marketing creep has completely overtaken this site.
I’m certainly here for the “diversity.”

i find it adorable that you chose to post a picture of ethnic peeps.

That roasted corn they sell is so delicious.
