Next Goldman M&A Target: Brooklyn Heights?

We got an email a few days ago from a regular tipster who’s always been right in the past so we’re tempted to give him the benefit of the doubt this time around. While pointing us in the direction of a recent sale on Joralemon Street, he noted that the buyer happened to be a Goldman Sachs executive. This was, he claimed, part of a trend that’s seen members of the city’s most successful investment bank crossing the East River (more than usual) in recent months to buy a piece of the rock in Brooklyn Heights. Another broker we quizzed, who has several Goldman clients looking in the neighborhood at the moment concurred, said he knew of two Goldman deals that have taken place in recent weeks. The only bank where bonuses are expected to rise significantly this season, Goldman bankers and traders are certainly in the best position to snap up those $5 million-plus houses. Think there’s anything to this “trend” or has it just always been so?
Yeah, we know the BH restaurants aren’t generally good. Why is that? I’m especially confused about Henry Street, where Noodle and Henry’s End are good, (and the Ale House too) but those other store fronts keep turning over, from one failure to the next. Don’t people in north BH want to be able to eat out at a place within easy walking distance from home?
And the housing generally is prettier in BH than PS, by a pretty big margin.
Grammar Lady,
Why? Why did you write all of that. The whole thing was way too revealing of yourself. I don’t think you have any idea how awful that was.

The heights has nicer buildings than park slope but punches WAY below its weight in restaurants, bars, retail, etc. Calling out Noodle Pudding as the showcase restaurant of your neighborhood pretty much says it all. I live in BH.
Didnt get the memo that all BH residents were supposed to eat out in Manhttan. I pretty much always eat out in Brooklyn.
The What,
Did you hear that ‘Hearts of Darkness’ is finally out on DVD?
Coming in the midst of the housing crises – a coincidence?
What think you?
I find The What’s language entertaining, and his hysteria, well, hysterical. It’s his failure to use correct grammar and punctuation that bother me.

Well… I don’t think the sheep get it so, fuck it!
