  1. The Brooklyner has been advertising the roof deck for almost a year. None of the residents have even been allowed to see the roof as of yet and no official word on when, or if, we will ever see it. Yet the owning company threw a party up there, last night, for their banker friends and friends of friends. So tacky! I’m sure Avalon Fort Greene is having a field day with this one.

    Rob, you employ a dogwalker. That is equal Riff-Raff points (5) to shopping at Whole Foods.

    um no, it’s akin to basic child care, not over priced yuppie food. there’s a huge difference. leaving my dog in an apartment all day for 9 hours would be animal abuse.

  3. Rob, you employ a dogwalker. That is equal Riff-Raff points (5) to shopping at Whole Foods. I’ve got the “Riff-Raff Deck” right here, will show you at the next gathering.

  4. “you dont understand my definition of riff-raff tho. i should have clarified and said this is type of building that brings in the annoying wholefoods demanding type riff-raff.”

    Generalizing is never good. The apartment has a diverse mix of people. I’ve lived in BK for 5 years and my wife and I decided we wanted a brand new apartment after living in converted lofts and an owner-occupied Brownstone (not hating on either), I work in Bed-Stuy and shop at Brooklyn Fare along with everyone else in the surrounding area. Can’t say I wouldn’t support a Whole Foods in the under-served neighborhood of Downtown BK and I see nothing wrong with doing so. Trader Joes and Garden of Eden seem to be doing well, employ people from the nearby neighborhoods and cater to all demographics (more so Trader Joes, I suppose). I also never heard of anyone “demanding” a Whole Foods.

  6. I think it looks great, for single professionals. For families, less so. I’ve grumbled about the price jump in the two-bedrooms before — adding (maybe) 300 square feet should not cost $1,000 more in rent.
